A federal magistrate judge overseeing former FBI Director James Comey’s case is blasting the Justice Department, detailing a “disturbing pattern of profound investigative missteps.” On Monday, Judge William Fitzpatrick in Virginia ordered that grand jury materials be turned over to Comey’s lawyers, after ruling that Lindsey Halligan, an inexperienced prosecutor whom President Trump appointed to secure an indictment against Comey, may have made “fundamental misstatements of the law.”

Comey is one of three prominent critics of Trump to be indicted this year. Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton was indicted on federal charges of mishandling classified documents, and New York state Attorney General Letitia James is facing federal charges of mortgage and bank fraud. Earlier this month, Fannie Mae investigators were removed from their jobs as they were probing if the Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte — Trump’s appointee — had improperly obtained the mortgage records of Democratic officials, including Letitia James.
