A federal judge says the Justice Department engaged in a “disturbing pattern of profound investigative missteps” when it secured an indictment against former FBI Director James Comey.
The repercussions are that all the grand jury materials are going to be released to the defense, which is extremely rare.
These materials will bolster one or more of the arguments for dismissal making them much more likely to succeed.
If these materials clearly demonstrate prosecutorial misconduct (which so far has not been proven) I think they could also be submitted as bar complaints against the prosecuting lawyers, making those complaints more powerful which could lead to career consequences for those lawyers.
This decision, which is part of the preliminary phase of a trial, is extremely unusual and very bad for the prosecution.

Repercussions? No? Ok then.

Professional courtesy for the non-professionals trying to be professional.
