Lindsey Halligan Is Already Making Mistakes

Problems identified in Halligan’s initial filings, including duplicate case numbers and clerical errors such as misspellings ...

Fox News legal analyst and former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy said ... the indictment seems “premised on something that’s not true, which is that (Andrew) McCabe said that Comey authorized him to leak to The Wall Street Journal. … McCabe said that he directed the leak, and he told Comey about it after the fact. So, it’s true that Comey never authorized it in the sense of OK’ing it before it happened. So, I don’t see how they can make that case” ,,,

The case now moves into pretrial motions, where Comey’s lawyers will challenge the charges and cite early filing errors ...

If the case survives, discovery will test the evidence that Comey authorized leaks as political scrutiny grows. Judges often allow technical fixes, but repeated missteps could damage the prosecution’s credibility and shape views of Halligan’s leadership.

She is just another pretty face with 'blond hair' and no brains.
