The Trump administration’s campaign to prosecute former FBI Director James Comey is going about as badly as it can for the Justice Department. At a hearing on Wednesday, prosecutors admitted that a federal grand jury had never actually voted on the indictment against one of Trump’s top political adversaries before it was filed with the court by federal prosecutors in Virginia in September. The revelation could potentially result in dismissal of all charges against Comey.
Judge Michael Nachmanoff, the presiding trial judge in the case, questioned prosecutors intensely at the hearing about the timeline of events leading up to Comey’s indictment on September 25. According to prosecutors, they had initially presented a three-charge indictment to the grand jury, which declined to approve one of the false-statement charges against Comey.
This was already an unusual move on the grand jury’s part; the cliché is that a decent prosecutor could get one to indict a ham sandwich. (Well, with some notable exceptions.) Prosecutors then revised the indictment to only include the other two charges. Instead of properly submitting that indictment to the grand jury again, they instead submitted the revised version to the court.
