At some point, incompetence and deliberate indifference to the law reaches a point where it is indistinguishable from deliberate misconduct. This is why you don’t hand a complex matter to someone who has never presented to a grand jury before.
A federal judge ORDERS the disclosure of James Comey's grand jury minutes to the defense, citing a "disturbing pattern pattern of profound investigative missteps" and casting doubt on Lindsey Halligan's declaration about the gap in the record.

Our rules of professional conduct say it’s unethical to take on a matter you’re not competent to handle. I, for instance, wouldn’t agree to submit a client’s trademark registration application. I think I’m a good lawyer, but that’s not my field.

Pretty clear from context that she told the grand jury that it was Comey's fault she couldn't explain the evidence because Comey refused to talk to investigators about it, which is just outrageous

BONDI, YOU HAVE A PROBLEM...
A grim comedic aspect of Mag Judge Fitzpatrick's ruling in Comey's case, finding that Halligan "potentially undermine[d] the integrity of the grand jury" with "fundamental misstatements of the law," is that AG Bondi purported to review those minutes & to ratify everything Halligan did—twice.

The comparison isn’t perfect but I kind of think Olivia Nuzzi is to journalism what Jake Paul is to boxing. Influencer culture usurping institutions and turning outrage and negative engagement into maximum clicks and therefore value, plus it flatters elite interests

If Halligan was not competent to handle this matter, supposedly of substantial importance to no less than the President of the United States, she acted unethically and faces discipline. If she was dishonest, she acted unethically and faces discipline. It's not obvious there's a third possibility.
