How Trump's new U.S. attorney got Comey indicted — by herself
Lindsey Halligan, the new federal prosecutor hand-picked by President Donald Trump to target his longtime foe James Comey, was all alone when she convinced a grand jury on Thursday to indict the former FBI director, according to two people with knowledge of the secret proceedings.
Halligan took over as U.S. attorney for the prestigious Eastern District of Virginia on Monday. Three days later, she found herself the lone representative of a 300-member office spearheading a case that her predecessor — and many of the assistant U.S. attorneys who report to her — considered too weak to bring charges. Her singular role was extraordinary.
The grand jury returned its indictment some time after 6 p.m. on Thursday evening, according to sources familiar with the proceedings and court records. The grand jury agreed to indict Comey on two felony counts — lying to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding — based on Comey saying in his testimony that he did not authorize anyone to leak information about a specific FBI investigation. Fourteen of the 23 grand jurors voted to indict on both counts, according to two sources familiar with the proceedings.

This case isn't off to a great start if after only being presented with one side of the story (and seeing as Halligan is a representative of the trump regime she very well may have lied to the grand jury) only the slimmest of majorities voted to indict.
A couple of legal analysts I've heard comment on the case believe she has jeopardized her license to practice law by taking this to the grand jury despite no one else in the office believing in the case against Comey.
Once again, we have this
if it was a crime to "get Trump" it should be above the law...
Thanks, we know that Jew Supremacist Zionist Fascist Left Wing Spanberger supporters are like that... have been since Mossad offed JFK.
