Grand jury declines to indict the 6 congress-critters who reminded servicemen that they are not to follow illegal orders.

This would be unheard of in any other administration.

The DOJ only goes to the grand jury when they have an ironclad case.

Until now.

Those Democrat service people reminding Trump and Whiskey Pete they are on notice.

It was once an embarrassment if the Justice Department failed to get a conviction, a practically unheard of humiliation if it failed even to get an indictment. This now is the everyday world in Trumpland.

The number of grand jurors hasn't been reported apparently, but in a typical DOJ case it would be 23, requiring at least 12 to vote for the indictment.

Trump‘s Keystone cops try again. What a fucking embarrassment.

His people don’t get embarrassed, though, and they don’t have that kind of self-awareness.

They shamelessly have no sense of shame.

Just like Don Lemon's case is going to be - it's going to be tossed!

@T. A. Gardner would tell you these people, in the highest profile cases, will plead out to avoid this as the DoJ has such a high conviction rate and thus most people plead out quickly.

What Terry did not consider is that YES the historic DoJ was super competent and thus people, in these highest profile cases, did plead out but this Trump DoJ reflects Trump and not the prior DoJ's. Incompetence and stupidity are their hallmark and that is leading to them having historically high inabilities to Indict or Convict.

Laughably so.
