James Comey was reported on October 27 to face a third indictment in Washington, D.C., for alleged disclosure of classified information. The two Espionage Act counts were filed by criminal information rather than grand jury indictment, a step taken to beat the 10-year statute of limitations. Comey's lawyers have moved to dismiss those counts as beyond that limit. Reporting since has established that the criminal information was signed by the DOJ's number two and three and by special AUSAs, not line prosecutors. A judge also ordered his daughter Maureen reinstated with back pay after her Justice Department termination. What the indictment alleges in detail, and how it relates to that ruling, remains open.
