    Default oops, Grand Jury refuses to indict McCabe in stunning rebuke of Trump

    https://www.politicususa.com/2019/09...be-indict.html

    "SNIP.....


    Harry Litman said a non-indictment would be a stunning rebuke of Trump:

    ✔@harrylitman

    A Grand Jury's refusal to return an indictment is something that happens maybe once every five years in a given office. If it occurred here, given the magnitude and visibility of the McCabe case, it is a stunning and humiliating rebuke for overreaching and playing politics.

    If McCabe is not indicated, it is a sign that the DOJ never had sufficient evidence to prosecute the former acting director of the FBI and the pursuit of charges was always about building a political cover story to diminish Trump’s potential crimes and discredit witnesses who observed his obstruction of justice and abuse of power.

    Any prosecutor could indict a ham sandwich, but William Barr and Donald Trump apparently couldn’t get an indictment against Andrew McCabe.

    I wonder why Jarod just ignored this thread & made another??
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    Better check with Getin the Ring. She was telling us yesterday that she knows the inside plan to all this and it's the first of many.

    I don't think the plan included failing to get an indictment.

    Trump and rightys make shit up and when subject to real scrutiny it fails. I know this does not teach you a thing. You will move on to the next righty fantasy and be just as certain that it is real.

    The problem is preventing the Trump circle of corruption from widening, and to reverse it and reclaim some semblance of transparent democracy.

    So this is a hopeful thread. He didn't corrupt this grand jury. They did their job.

    It's early but if I were on this grand jury I would NOT vote to INDICT. YES, without advantage of privied testimony, they'd have to tie my hands behind my back and forge my jury slip to indict--or however they do it. This is a political WITCH HUNT on steroids.

    Of course it is, but for now we'll just have to wait and see what, if anything, they decide. It's premature to gloat that they repudiated Toadstool by refusing to indict.

    i read it as well -very informative
    Seems it might not rise to a level of "normally prosecuted" -but then we wind up with a 2 tiered justice system
    ( Flynn etc. convicted of lying -process crime)
