Episode notes

- The indictment is vague and may fail to give Jim Comey adequate notice of the charges against him.
- Joyce Vance recommends a bill of particulars to force the government to specify the alleged facts so Comey can mount a defense.

- Joyce Vance calls the indictment 'fatally deficient' for using anonymous labels instead of naming key figures.

- This temporal stretch complicates proving knowing and willful falsehood beyond a reasonable doubt.
