A federal grand jury on Tuesday declined to indict Democratic lawmakers who posted a video urging service members and intelligence officials to disobey any illegal orders from the Trump administration, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The declination is a rebuke of the administration’s efforts to paint the six lawmakers — all of whom served in either the military or intelligence services — as dangerously undermining the president’s authority as commander in chief.
Note that grand juries typically only hear the prosecution’s arguments. The prosecution has immense power in grand juries as a result. That’s why there’s a famous saying that a grand jury would indict a ham sandwich.
The fact that so many grand juries have declined to indict major cases brought by the DOJ is a major embarrassment. It means that even an average person off the street can immediately see through their bullshit.
Either A people are seeing through their bullshit or B people hate the admin so much they are refusing to indict on that alone.
Both are good
It is also possible the (lower level) prosecutors are not really on-board with Trumps BS and are not really trying to convince the grand juries. Just doing the bare minimum to keep their job.
The Trump Administration is not bringing their best.
Or maybe the best they have happen to be absolutely useless.
