Episode notes
Illegal Appointment Voids Indictments
- Judge Curry ruled Lindsey Halligan was illegally appointed, voiding indictments she obtained for Comey and Letitia James.
- That decision created a vacancy that only the Eastern District of Virginia judges can fill under the statute cited by the judge.

- Comey's case likely cannot be refiled because the perjury statute of limitations has expired.
- An invalid indictment obtained within the limitations period does not toll or reset the clock, so recharging is time-barred.

- Letitia James's mortgage-fraud indictment faces different procedural issues and no statute-of-limitations bar.
- The case has conflicting grand jury outcomes and internal career-prosecutor objections that weaken the government's position.
