Halligan’s ‘Correction’ of Record Sparks More Intrigue About Comey Indictment

Sometimes, we “solve” one problem by making another one worse. That is what Lindsey Halligan may have done in undertaking to “correct” the record of the hearing that took place Wednesday in the Trump Justice Department’s prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey.

Halligan, of course, was installed by President Trump as the interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia (EDVa). That was after Trump banished Halligan’s predecessor, Erik Siebert, for declining to prosecute Comey and another Trump political enemy, New York Attorney General Letitia James. It was Halligan who presented the Comey case to an EDVa grand jury on September 25.
