SIGNIFICANT NEWS EVENTS Judge Says Justice Dept May Have Committed Misconduct in Comey Case The New York Times (11/17, Feuer) reported that a federal magistrate judge warned that the criminal case against former FBI Director James B. Comey may be jeopardized due to apparent "government misconduct" stemming from multiple errors made by prosecutor Lindsey Halligan during her grand Jury presentation. The Judge, William E. Fitzpatrick, issued a 24•page ruling ordering Halligan to turn over all grand Jury materials used to obtain the indictment, describing the disclosure as "an extraordinary remedy" needed because the materials appeared Incomplete. According to the article, the Judge found that Halligan made at least two "fundamental and highly prejudicial" misstatements of law before the grand Jury and he further questioned whether both Halligan and an FBI agent who testified had conducted themselves properly during the proceedings. The article explained that the ruling follows earlier concerns raised by another judge about whether Attorney General Pam Bondi had lawfully appointed Halligan, who had never prosecuted a criminal case and was installed after President Trump removed the previous U.S. attorney who declined to pursue charges. The article noted that judge Fitzpatrick also raised the possibility that attorneycllent•privlleged information may have been improperly disclosed by the sole FBI witness before the grand Jury and he concluded that the series of irregularities could provide grounds for Comey's defense to seek dismissal of the indictment.
