New York Attorney General Letitia James wants the details of Lindsey Halligan’s interactions with the grand jury that indicted her — after a judge found “profound investigative missteps” in Halligan’s handling of the case against ex-FBI Director James Comey.
James wants prosecutors in the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia, helmed by ex-White House aide Halligan, to turn over certain records from the grand jury that indicted her for bank fraud charges tied to claims that she lied on documents for a mortgage on a second home in Virginia.
The request came after US Magistrate Judge William Fitzpatrick found in a Monday ruling that Halligan, President Trump’s hand-picked prosecutor in the key district, made “fundamental misstatements of the law” in front of a grand jury that indicted Comey for allegedly lying to Congress.
“As in the case of James Comey, this Court should review the entirety of the grand jury transcripts and the audio recording of proceedings in Alexandria to assess whether any similar misstatements of the law occurred that could compromise the integrity of the grand jury process in this case,” James’ lawyer, Andrew Bosse, wrote in papers later Monday.
James’ side also wants to review parts of the grand jury proceeding to verify that everything was done by the book.
“To ensure that an unbiased and properly charged grand jury was empaneled and proper procedures in the grand jury room were followed, AG James seeks disclosure of the aforementioned four narrow categories of grand jury material,” Bosse wrote.
James is slated to go on trial on Jan. 26 but she is seeking to get her case thrown out on multiple grounds, including the alleged unlawful appointment of Halligan, vindictive prosecution and for outrageous government conduct.

I doubt anyone on FR expected a successful prosecution and conviction for any of Trump’s antagonists. What is important is the push back. Sending a message there are at least some consequences, even minor, for their misdeeds .
A CORRUPT DEMOCRAT (REDUNDANT) Judge will throw this out!!
Bish!
James and Comey both had opportunities to be in the grand jury proceedings. Their absence isn’t grounds to claim they had no input.
This truly is grasping at straws in a forum shopped case.
EC
Tish trying to FUD her way out of prison-time, by tainting the jury pool.
First let’s put her in jail in case things don’t always go her way. That’s what she wanted to do with Trump from what I gathered.
SHE WISHES
SHE ALSO HAS BEEN HARBORING HER CRIMINAL NIECES.
