7. The incompetence is astounding. Halligan put her prosecution at even further risk

just for the sake of getting to say to a legal commentator, privately, whom she barely knew, "you're wrong, but I can't tell you exactly why". Halligan shows she doesn't understand an "off the record" agreement, despite having dealt with the media for years. It's like a high schooler, who desperately wants to be liked by everyone, is in charge of prosecuting important government employees.
