Because they lack a legitimate official purpose, these kinds of prosecutions tend to be riddled with errors and irregularities, such as the resignation of upstanding government officials who refuse to bring trumped-up charges, the refusal of career attorneys to sign their names to otherwise routine charging documents, and the search for lackeys who may be willing to bring the charges before a grand jury anyway.

And what we know about it, Kaitlan, is that Lindsay Halligan, who is the newly installed U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia, she is the one who personally presented this to the grand jury, replied Perez. That's not normal. Usually you have career assistant U.S. Attorneys who make these presentations to the grand jury. In this case, we know that there were concerns that were raised by the career lawyers in that office.
