ProsecutorsPodcast(@ProsecutorsPod):The filing here relies on 18 U.S.C. § 3282 to justify the argument that an information tolls the statute of limitations. And that makes sense--the general statute specifically references informations. The only problem is Comey is charged under 18 U.S.C. § 792 and 793, for which Congress specifically extended the SoL of five years from the general statute to ten years for espionage. But they did so only mentioning indictments, not informations. Interesting statutory interpretation arguments to come.
