Somebody who isn't a real US attorney has been proceeding against somebody in federal court with a faked indictment.
In a sane system, Halligan would be going to prison.

Sure. "The Grand Jury did not see the operative indictment" is the kind of fuckup where lawyers literally don't actually know what happens next because it SO fundamental a thing that it is LITERALLY possible nobody had even thought of this as a thing that could happen.
Translate for us non-law-talkers...?

Imagine if the news media had been this assertive throughout Trump's political life.
In the past the press would badger a president until they extracted the response they believed appropriate. Typically an admission of sorts or contrition over some thing the press is fixated on. Epstein stuff as of late is the first time I've seen the press really do this with Trump.
