It’s been a doozy of a week in the James Comey case, with a federal magistrate judge saying that “government misconduct may have tainted the grand jury proceeding.” On this episode of It’s Complicated, Renato Mariotti and Asha Rangappa analyze the litany of shocking mistakes made by newbie prosecutor Lindsay Halligan and point out Comey’s best chance for having the indictment dismissed. Then, they discuss President Trump’s rare defeat this week over the Epstein files and the chances the DOJ could withhold the files under the cover of an ongoing and Trump-ordered investigation. Tune in!
