I wonder how many different grand juries were empaneled to finally get this indictment.

And this in that context that getting an indictment occurs in 90 to 95 percent of the time.

I'm guessing it was one grand jury, given the time crunch Hooligan [sic] was in, and I'm also guessing that they weren't shown the report of the inspector general on their investigation that totally exonerates Comey and that states in plain language that it was Andrew McCabe who was untruthful in the matter, not Comey. See Lawrence O'Donnell's segment last night on MSNBC where he covers this in his inimitable way:

Why does EDVA have jurisdiction and not DC? Was his testimony by zoom from VA and not actually in Congress?

Question is, how can she sign off on the charges when she can’t practice in Virginia? She hasn’t taken/passed the bar, so that seems to be an illegal filing. Can someone clarify but from other things I read this would be the case.

Lawyers can get admitted “pro hac vice” to a jurisdiction where they aren’t a bar member for purposes of a specific case, so it’s not an issue. It happens all the time.
