Comey will challenge the legality of Trump's appoint of Lindsey Halligan as US attorney. LetMyPeopleVote Tuesday #1
Just my uninformed opinion, MarineCombatEngineer Tuesday #2
Actually, if the indictment is dismissed because of a legal defect, it can be refiled within 6 months, onenote Tuesday #3
Thank you for clarifying that. MarineCombatEngineer Tuesday #4
No. Even if the indictment is dismissed, it effectively would be "tolled" for another six months. onenote Tuesday #5

If Halligan is disqualified, then the statute of limitations will have run on the bogus charges against Comey

but I think he has a very good chance at having her disqualified and removed and because she wasn't legally appointed, the statute of limitations will have expired.

Have I got this right?

notwithstanding the expiration of the statute of limitations.

See the following from the DOJ Criminal Resource Manual

655. Statute of Limitations and Defective Indictments -- Superseding Indictments

If an indictment is dismissed because of legal defect or grand jury irregularity, the government may return a new indictment within six months of the date of dismissal or within the original limitation period (whichever is later). After the original limitation period has expired, a superseding indictment may narrow, but not broaden, the charges made in the original indictment. See 18 U.S.C. §§ 3288-3289; United States v. Miller, 471 U.S. 130 (1985); United States v. Grady, 544 F.2d 598 (2d Cir. 1976).
