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.
Holy wow. You can indict a ham sandwich. A grand jury indictment is literally the prosecutor giving their side of the story, no representatives of the defendant present. If they refused to induct here… it’s REAL flimsy.
