Yes this is totally incompetent but the real story here is the sheer lawlessness of Lindsay Halligan. Imagine being a lawyer and having such little regard for the rule of law that you would fake a grand jury indictment and lie about it.
Halligan should not only be disbarred, she should be in jail.

The U.S. military is being used inside the United States. There's a lot we don't know about how, why, and under what authorities.
Today, Lawfare is launching a new project–which includes a tracker and a map–to follow where and how the military is being domestically deployed.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.
