"She was the one who signed this indictment because no prosecutor in my old office, where I worked for 20 years, dared sign this piece of paper, Rossi said. This case is so weak, no prosecutor line prosecutor or career prosecutor or the former U.S. Attorney Eric Siebert, who also has honor they wouldn't sign it. But Lindsey Halligan would, because, who is she?"
"Rossi replied sarcastically. The merits of this case are so weak. If you play back that clip, Cruz falsely summarized what Andy McCabe said. So their charge is this: a false summary of what Andy McCabe said and Jim Comey says, I stand by what I said.' That's obstruction? That's a false statement? By itself, that's not a criminal violation."
Gene Rossi, a former federal prosecutor, expressed outrage over the indictment of James Comey and sharply criticized Lindsey Halligan for signing it. Rossi argued that no career prosecutor in his former office would have signed the indictment because the case is weak. The charges stem from Comey allegedly lying under oath about standing by a statement in response to a 2020 question from Sen. Ted Cruz about leaking FBI information. Rossi said Cruz mischaracterized Andy McCabe's statement and called the purported offense insufficient for criminal charges. Rossi predicted Judge Michael Nachmanoff will be a formidable judge for the prosecutors.
