This error could get the case against Comey thrown out.
Breaking on MS NOW:
The full grand jury never reviewed the indictment it handed up against Comey.
Prosecutors said, instead of presenting a new indictment after the grand jury declined to approve one of the counts, Halligan simply brought an altered version for the grand jury's foreperson to sign.
