In a recent development in the legal saga surrounding former FBI Director James Comey, a judge has raised significant concerns about the handling of the indictment in the case. Interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan is at the center of this controversy, with questions being raised about the validity of the indictment and the procedures followed in presenting it to the grand jury.
According to a report by CBS News, the judge repeatedly questioned prosecutors about the validity of the indictment returned by a grand jury and its handling by Lindsey Halligan. The judge’s scrutiny has put the case against Comey on shaky ground, as reported by Politico, with the judge squeezing the Department of Justice over Halligan’s handling of the indictment.
The New York Times further reported that a Trump loyalist has admitted that the grand jury never saw the final indictment against Comey, raising serious doubts about the transparency and integrity of the legal process. Additionally, CNN highlighted Lindsey Halligan’s revelation that the full grand jury never saw the final indictment it handed up against Comey, further complicating the legal proceedings.
The Department of Justice has also come under fire, with AP News reporting that the full grand jury in the Comey case did not review a copy of the final indictment. This revelation has added to the uncertainty surrounding the case and raised questions about the DOJ’s handling of the matter.
Former White House lawyer Ty Cobb has weighed in on the situation, as reported by The Hill, stating that Attorney General Pam Bondi and Lindsey Halligan should be disbarred over the mishandling of the indictment against Comey. Cobb described the situation as “shocking” and emphasized the need for accountability in the legal process.
Overall, the developments in the Comey case have raised serious concerns about the integrity of the legal proceedings and the handling of indictments by prosecutors. The judge’s scrutiny, coupled with revelations about the grand jury’s lack of access to the final indictment, has cast a shadow of doubt over the case against Comey.
