Yes, we aren’t even getting to the merits of the case. These are all about procedural mistakes. On the merits, the alleged lie doesn’t even match the transcript.

Yep, I think that one might be fatal. Also, it appears she also told the grand jury Jim Comey could explain himself at trial. Of course, he has an absolute right to remain silent a trial. That could lead to a dismissal as well.

I don’t think Halligan did anything anything criminal, but her incompetence could lead to dismissal of the indictment, particularly her misstatements to the grand jury about the law.
