It's not totally clear that re-indicting Comey will give the government a clean slate. It'll still have to litigate the time bar, which might turn on the validity of the first indictment.
Plus, if DOJ doesn't (successfully) appeal, it's stuck with the ruling that Halligan isn't the U.S. attorney.

Breaking on MS NOW: The Trump Justice Department is considering seeking another indictment of James Comey this week in the Eastern District of Virginia. It might be going before a grand jury today.
This would be in lieu of appealing the ruling from last week dismissing the case against Comey.

So wait. Will their theory be (1) this time prosecutors other than Halligan will present to the grand jury so it’s different, or (2) now we’ve done some sort of double secret blessing of Halligan’s position so it’s different, or (3) fuck the law?
