Oops. Looks like Lindsey the Insurance Lawyer lied to a judge.

“This has never happened before. I’ve been handed two documents ... with a discrepancy,” Vaala said. “I’m a little confused why I was handed two things ... that were inconsistent.” Halligan said at the lectern she hadn’t seen the first indictment that was rejected, but Vaala noted Halligan appeared to have signed that original document.

"Okay. It has your signature on it," Judge Vaala told Halligan, who responded, "Okay. Well."
"So I only reviewed the one with the two counts that our office redrafted when we found out about the two - two counts that were true billed, and I signed that one. I did not see the other one. I don't know where that came from," Halligan told the judge. Vaala responded, "You didn't see it?" And Halligan again told her, "I did not see that one." Vaala seemed surprised: "So your office didn't prepare the indictment that they —" Halligan then replied, "No, no, no - I - no, I prepared three counts. I only signed the one - the two-count (indictment). I don't know which one with three counts you have in your hands." "Okay. It has your signature on it," Vaala told Halligan, who responded, "Okay. Well."

😬🤔 “Judge Vaala asked the newly named interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan — a former Trump personal lawyer — why there were two versions of the indictment.”

"So this has never happened before. I've been handed two documents that are in the Mr. Comey case that are inconsistent with one another," Vaala said to Halligan.

September: "... Lindsey Halligan actually handed the magistrate judge, Lindsey Vaala, two charging documents. When Vaala asked what was going on, Halligan said she did not see the second one. Vaala noted that she had signed the document." www.emptywheel.net/2025/09/26/w...

You need the previous two paragraphs for context, IMO.
The grand jury foreperson told Vaala that the panel had rejected one of three counts in the originally submitted indictment. Prosecutors then presented a revised indictment, the foreperson said, containing only the two counts that the grand jury had agreed on and with which Comey was eventually charged. The judge received both indictments Thursday evening and noted she was puzzled by the outcome. “This has never happened before. I’ve been handed two documents ... with a discrepancy,” Vaala said. “I’m a little confused why I was handed two things ... that were inconsistent.” Halligan said at the lectern she hadn’t seen the first indictment that was rejected, but Vaala noted Halligan appeared to have signed that original document.

Also, consider the situation. The foreperson SEEMS like she's experienced (MJ Vaala knew her). But she probably has never dealt with a no-bill b4, bc up until that week, a grown-up (Erik Siebert) was in charge.

But she had MORE experience than Halligan.

Oof.

Comey calls out Lindsey's Loaner AUSAs for questioning Magistrate Judge William Fitzpatrick's integrity.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
5 Given the shifting factual assertions by the government to Judge Vaala, Judge Currie, Judge Fitzpatrick and this Court as to how the putative indictment was returned—including how many votes were taken by the grand jury—it is ironic that the government is questioning the integrity of judicial officers attempting to navigate its various accounts.

Magistrate Judge Lindsey Vaala refused the bureau’s request to examine the smartphone of activist Barbara Wien, in a case the Justice Department says involves doxxing of top White House adviser Stephen Miller, 40.

Geez Louise. That sounds exactly my 12 year old when she gets caught at something.

This is nuts.

Yesterday in the Comey hearing, prosecutors *repeatedly* confirmed that the full grand jury never saw or voted on the two-count indictment.

Now they’re claiming the grand jury *did* vote on it.
The government respectfully submits this supplemental filing to correct the record regarding statements during the hearing held on November 19, 2025, before U.S. District Court Judge Michael S. Nachmanoff, suggesting an issue with the grand jury voting process on the indictment returned in Case No. 1:25-CR-272-MSN. The official transcript of the September 25, 2025, proceedings before Magistrate Judge Vaala conclusively refutes that claim and establishes that the grand jury voted on - and true-billed - the two-count indictment. I. The Court and the Foreperson Confirmed the Vote on the Two-Count Indictment The transcript contains the following direct exchange between the Court and the grand jury foreperson: THE COURT: Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you. 10 So you voted on the one that has the two counts? 11 THE FOREPERSON: Yes. See Transcript, Dkt No, 10, attached as Exhibit "A" at 4. This sworn testimony alone establishes that the grand jury voted on the two-count
