However, Insiders also understand one unbreakable rule: They don’t criticize other insiders.

Lindsey Halligan made 3 fuck-ups in the grand jury:
1) She implied to GJ Comey would HAVE to testify
2) There was more evidence they weren't sharing
3) She does not appear to have re-presented the 2 charges GJ approved
Here's the third (which I predicted Friday).
There's no indictment.
