I just love the idea that the MAGA weirdos in the Congress think that bringing Bill and Hillary Clinton in to testify on Epstein will somehow help their cause. In fact, it will create the biggest sideshow since Trump’s fraud trial or the January 6th Committee. The entire media world will be focused on Epstein for days leading up to it, people will talk of nothing else. Bring it on. Every day brings something more, especially with the sloppiness of the release of the documents. The cover up is laughably obvious.
Meanwhile, grand jurors aren’t buying what they’re selling in other cases either:
In Washington, a grand jury refused to return a felony indictment against a man who threw a sandwich at a Customs and Border Protection officer during a crackdown ordered by President Trump. In Chicago, grand jurors have declined to indict in several felony cases stemming from a similar operation; prosecutors seemed to get the message and dismissed additional cases. In Minnesota, federal prosecutors have charged some demonstrators with misdemeanors in cases involving encounters with federal agents — and it is very likely that they did so in some cases because the prosecutors expected grand juries would reject felony charges.
Federal grand juries in Virginia twice decided not to indict Letitia James, the New York attorney general, after a judge dismissed an initial case against her. Another federal grand jury in Virginia declined at least one charge against James Comey, the former F.B.I. director; the prosecutor later improperly filed a version of the indictment the full grand jury never saw.
This week, a grand jury rejected an effort by the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington to indict the six members of Congress who appeared last year in a video underscoring the obligation of service members to refuse illegal orders.
The incompetence may be the only thing that will save us. They don’t seem to realize that just because Donald Trump orders his enemies to be punished, it doesn’t make it so. Average Americans aren’t having it and they still have something to say about all this.
