James Comey charged for third time by Trump DOJ
Comey's lawyers filed a motion to dismiss on October 9, arguing the 10-year statute of limitations had expired.
The DOJ filed the information on October 5 and asked Judge Trevor McFadden to seal it, which he granted.
Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner said the case may have exceeded the 10-year statute of limitations, giving the motion to dismiss a very good chance of being granted.
