"Attorneys have a special duty as officers of the court. Not only are they barred from trying to influence a witness to lie under oath, they also must not call a witness whom they know or believe will lie under oath."

The above is from your post.

I'm not an attorney but other posters have called this suborning perjury.

Whether it is or not, McColloch admitted to it which would seem to invalidate the decision reached by the grand jury, thus the need for a special prosecutor and a reconvened grand jury.
