It's extremely rare for the DoJ to fail to obtain an indictment. Some sources say no true bills have historically been returned in less than 0.01% of the cases federal prosecutors present to a grand jury. That success rate appears to be taking a big dip this year. Besides the failures involving James and Comey there was also the recent sandwich thrower case and a number of failed attempts to indict protestors in several major cities across the country.

The grand jury saw the case for what it is...rigged charges for political retribution from a corrupt AG following the order of her petulant toddler president.

But it's been reported that Pam Bondi if going to try and take a third bite from that apple.

It's reported that they're looking for another prosecutor, perhaps from a different office, which they're going to assign the task of getting an indictment.

I really don't know what the intent is here other then just harassing James and causing her to spend money on her defense, since I can't see a judge allowing a case like this going forward, let alone finding a jury that would convict.

I think an indictment is the goal, not a conviction. It's all about shaming and intimidating.

That what Lewzers always say to avoid looking like Lewzers.

It's like shouting "You haven't heard the last of us" as they shake their fist in the air and retreat in a humiliating defeat.

Yeah, but Pres trump has shown that he seems to be a champion of frivolous lawsuits that are used to drain the resources of those he wants to go after.

Stated differently, in my view, Pres trump is not looking for a lawsuit victory, he is just using the lawsuit process to drain his enemies.
