As Axios notes;

• The indictment against Comey came as the statute of limitations was set to expire. Trump ousted U.S. attorney Erik Siebert, who had reportedly believed there was not enough evidence to bring a case against Comey or New York Attorney General Letitia James.
• Trump replaced Siebert with Lindsey Halligan, who had previously worked for him. She is now serving as the interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia despite having no prosecutorial experience.
• Judge William Fitzpatrick warned in a November opinion that “a disturbing pattern of profound investigative missteps” could have undermined the proceedings, leaving the indictment in jeopardy.
