The fat lady has not sung yet....

The dismissals, while embarrassing for the White House and the Justice Department, are unlikely to be the last word on an issue of constitutional authority that many legal experts expect could be appealed to the Supreme Court. And the way Judge Currie rendered her decision left open the possibility that another prosecutor could refile the charges against both Mr. Comey and Ms. James.

Judg Currie’s orders center on Mr. Trump’s unorthodox decision to appoint Ms. Halligan to her prosecutorial position in an interim capacity, replacing his previous pick, who was also serving in a temporary role. Within days after assuming her new post, Ms. Halligan rejected the advice of the career prosecutors in her new office and moved single-handedly to indict both Mr. Comey and Ms. James, two of the president’s most reviled targets.

In her rulings on Monday, Judge Currie said that it was unlawful to appoint two interim prosecutors in succession, and dismissed the charges against Mr. Comey and Ms. James without prejudice.

No - not a technicality. A legality. There's actually a big difference.

without prejudice.

In the Comey case it makes no difference as the clock has expired.

This dismissal is on the claim that Halligan could never hold that job of interim US attorney which makes the without prejudice the correct ruling. Had it been the ruling on the non existing endictment it would be with prejudice and it still would make no difference. There are also about 4 other good reasons to have thrown the case out.
