FLASH: Judge rules James Comey criminal case is dismissed without prejudice. Judge determined the US Attorney Lindsey Halligan was not lawfully appointed

Here's the 29 page opinion: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Here it is from the federal judge:

"All actions flowing from Ms. Halligan’s defective appointment, including securing and signing Mr. Comey’s indictment, were unlawful exercises of executive power and are hereby set aside."
From the judge: "The Attorney General’s authority to appoint an interim U.S. Attorney lasts for a total of 120 days from the date she first invokes section 546 after the departure of a Senate-confirmed U.S. Attorney. If the position remains vacant at the end of the 120-day period, the exclusive authority to make further interim appointments under the statute shifts to the district court"

ALERT: James Comey files another motion to dismiss criminal case, citing issues with grand jury presentation by US Atty Lindsey Halligan

"The government has thus committed a series of flagrant legal violations. And the government’s misconduct has threatened Mr. Comey’s liberty—even though Mr. Comey should be experiencing the peace of an expired statute of limitations"
The new 29-page motion by James Comey to dismiss his criminal case includes this header:

"THE INDICTMENT SHOULD BE DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE BASED ON MISCONDUCT BEFORE THE GRAND JURY"

Full motion: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
James Comey's new motion to dismiss (MORE): "A grand jury may indict only if at least 12 jurors concur.' But here, at least 12 jurors did not concur in the only indictment presented to the grand jury."

NEW: James Comey files additional argument to get criminal case dismissed as "vindictive prosecution":

"The indictment in this case is unique in American history: it is the product of a yearslong campaign by the President of the United States to punish a citizen for protected speech. Mr. Comey has exercised his right to engage in public discourse critical of the President"
(MORE) James Comey's argument for dismissal of criminal case: "The President’s calls for prosecution do not rest on evidence, investigation, or recommendations. Rather, they express pure vengeful animus to punish a perceived political adversary. And the President managed to achieve his retaliatory goal only by installing a White House aide as U.S. Attorney"
(MORE) James Comey's new filing seeking dismissal of criminal case: "Not only does President Trump have the ultimate power to cause a prosecution, but the sequence of events that led to Mr. Comey’s prosecution leaves no doubt that he exercised that power here. After forcing out the incumbent United States Attorney, Erik Siebert, because of his reticence to bring this and other cases against the President’s perceived political enemies, the President posted on social media a message to the Attorney General excoriating her for failing to prosecute those enemies"
