I need to reiterate how batshit crazy this is:
When Trump’s handpicked interim #USAttorney #LindseyHalligan briefly took the stand Wednesday, she said only 2 grand jurors reviewed the final #indictment it handed up against former FBI Director #JamesComey. Comey’s attorney then argued Halligan’s testimony indicates, “there is no indictment” against his client.
The #Trump administration’s attempt to prosecute former FBI Director #JamesComey hit two major snags on Wednesday.
First, interim #USattorney for the Eastern District of Virginia #LindseyHalligan, who brought the #indictment, admitted the entire grand jury did not vote on the final indictment—a shocking development. Instead, only 2 grand jurors reviewed the indictment before it was presented in court.
Earlier in the day, #DOJ lawyer Tyler Lemons, who is prosecuting the case, also told U.S. District Judge Michael Nachmanoff that “someone” in #DAG #ToddBlanche’s office ordered him not to disclose whether career prosecutors in the Department of Justice authored a memo recommending that Comey should not be indicted. Lemons said that he was told he couldn’t disclose “privileged” information without permission.
