Were the Fundamental Errors Deliberate?

This is the delicate part. The possibilities are:

Deliberate sabotage — quite possible.

This is not a fringe theory. In Trump-era legal circles, factions undermine each other constantly. A prosecutor who wants a case to fail can:
  • rush an indictment,
  • bypass a grand jury,
  • contaminate procedure,
  • then claim “We tried, but the deep state or the courts blocked us.”
  • This preserves political optics without winning in court.
Deliberate theatrics — also possible.

Bondi and Halligan may have known the indictment was defective but wanted a headline before it was inevitably dismissed. This is classic “performative prosecution,” used to:
  • excite the base,
  • create a narrative,
  • portray the defendant as “indicted” even if it gets tossed.
Sheer incompetence — also plausible.

Cobb’s comments weren’t random. Halligan has a track record of fringe filings, misstatements, and grandstanding. It’s entirely possible they simply didn’t understand basic grand-jury procedure.

Deliberate corner-cutting — extremely likely.

Not sabotage, not theatrics — just: “We need an indictment NOW, so let’s skip steps and worry about fixing it later.” This happens more often than people admit, though typically not at this catastrophic level.
