Former FBI Director James Comey has lots of different ways he can defeat the criminal indictment against him for false statements and obstruction of justice, former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade told MSNBC's Melissa Murray on Wednesday — but one of the most scorched-earth methods might be getting Trump's federal prosecutor in charge of the case disqualified.

The prosecutor, Trump's former defense lawyer Lindsey Halligan, was appointed to oversee the Eastern District of Virginia after her predecessor, also a hand-picked Trump appointee, determined there was insufficient evidence to prosecute Comey for statements he made during Senate testimony. Halligan has moved forward per Trump's wishes, but has faced repeated setbacks as she has no significant prosecutorial experience, had to be coached through working with the grand jury, and didn't file the correct charging documents.

"Jim Comey has said that he is ready for trial. He's ready to go to trial with this," said Murray. "What do you think the next move is? Is this even going to get to a trial, or will there be something else before that?"
