When a grand jury declines to indict a case, it’s called a “no bill.” Here’s why that matters so much right now. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

I guess it can no longer be said that a federal prosecutor could indict a ham sandwich!

How is it good new that one of our U.S. Attorneys is filing charges that are so bogus she cannot even get grand jury indictments? And likely cannot even get misdemeanor charges? Not only is this a huge waste of tax resources, it harasses people and gums up our court system.

That's exactly what Trump and his team want. They don't care about wasting money. They want to bully people into submission and silence.

My point exactly. Team Trump doesn't care if they win. They want to build a narrative and scare possible opponents. The "no bill" is better than an indictment, but it is still VERY BAD.

* Trump built a staff of incompetent sycophants so he could dictate through them, speak through them. All of the Trump Fox News appointees administration is the voice of Donald Trump. This is a fascist dictatorship administration. There are no experienced professional people in the room.

the deadliest danger now confronting humanity is the "scapegoat" psychology associated with the old ethic. We are in the grip of this psychology when we project our own dark shadow onto an individual or group identified as our "enemy," failing to see it inourselves. sites.google.com/view/somnus/...

I'd really love it if some platformed writers were to study up on jury nulllification and how the whole concept has been very deliberately buried from public consciousness. It's a test of the social contract, but a jury can change an unjust law by refusing to convict.

Pirro went off the rails years ago. She is NOT unbiased, which makes her incompetent to serve as interim U.S. Attorney for the District. Every regime sycophant has their thumb on the scale of justice. The one with the biggest thumb is the porcine despot.

Joyce never received a grand jury no bill in 25 years, and recalls only a couple in the district. Donald Trump’s new U.S. Attorney in DC, Fox News host, Jeanine Pirro, recently received three no bills—all in the same case. No one Trump appointed can actually do the job.

If DOJ continues to go back to new grand juries after “no bills”, and with DOJ having forfeited all presumption of normality in their prosecutorial discretion, will judges allow defendants to enter into evidence the number of no bills delivered before DOJ finally got an indictment?
