You think? Their track record with Grand Juries is not the best. They tried to indict the sandwich guy 2 times through a grand jury and failed, had to downgrade the charges to misdemeanors since don’t require a grand jury and then the jury in the misdemeanor trial acquitted the guy.
My guess is they used an administrative warrant, those have no real oversight and they’ve been using them a lot.
An administrative warrant is a warrant obtained from a judge by an administrative body to search for violations of administrative rules and regulations. While similar to a criminal warrant, an administrative warrant requires a lower standard of probable cause to be granted. Administrative warrants are governed by 49 USC §32707.
That’s what reporting seems to indicate. I’m fairly shocked they managed to get a jury to go along with this. The charges look extremely flimsy on multiple levels.
They may have gotten an indictment through a grand jury.

Or we just ignore laws…
Wouldn’t be the first time for this administration.
Or the second, or the ninth, or the 73rd, or the 512th, or the 2861st…

It’s a grand jury. A prosecutor could get one of them to indicate a ham sandwich.
Except when they literally couldn’t.
This ain’t even a ham sandwich though…
