This is a fraud on the court. This indictment will be dismissed and Halligan should be sanctioned/disbarred

The full grand jury never reviewed the indictment it handed up against former FBI Director James Comey, interim US Attorney Lindsey Halligan conceded Wednesday.
In a shocking back and forth, prosecutors said that instead of presenting a new indictment to the grand jury after it declined to approve one of the counts, Halligan simply brought an altered version to the magistrates courtroom for the grand jurys foreperson to sign.
The new indictment wasnt a new indictment, prosecutor Tyler Lemons said, attempting to justify that it was only reviewed by the foreperson.
Judge Michael Nachmanoff quickly called Halligan, who was the only prosecutor who presented the case to the grand jury, to the lectern, asking her to confirm that the entire grand jury was never presented the altered indictment.....
Comeys attorney Michael Dreeben then argued to the judge that, given the testimony of the prosecutor, no indictment was returned.
There is no indictment, he said, adding that the statute of limitations has now elapsed against Comey on charges of lying to Congress.

Yup. You don't want the best obstetrician in town to do your open-heart surgery.

I never knew that if you don't like a court document you can just alter it to your liking.
