I have no problem with grand juries being skeptical of the cases brought before them, and with the legal beagles now working in the DOJ those skeptics should stand wall to wall. There may come a day when DOJ lawyers, seeking work in the private sector, may replace their time with the government with phony jail stints, that being easier to explain than working for Blondi and Toddy...

MAGA culture simply isn't appealing to most Americans. This is one reason Grand Juries reject DOJ "lawyers" and their "cases". If study were done, it wouls be seen that most Grand Jury members take hot shower after dealing with people like Bondi and this latest fawning, fascist idiot.

They just need to get like 30% of young boys to go along with it, and time will do the rest.

If we got a Democratic sweep in November and a Democratic President in 2028 we could, and I believe would, fix the corrupt Supreme Court and the nation would become much less of an oligarchy, reverse some of their most egregious decisions and put us back on a path to the rule of law and oh! one more thing; Donald Trump would go to prison for the rest of his miserable life and possibly be joined by several members of the current Supreme Court!

Grand Juries will indict a ham sandwich for the assassination of JFK.

If they can't get Grand Juries to indict, that's a showing of how absolutely awful the lawyers are and the cases are.

And now, they had a case tossed because they literally lied to the grand jury about both the facts AND the law.

It's gotten that bad.

Yeah, this is actually a good outcome. Judges and juries have historically given WAY too much credibility to prosecutors and pigs. That needed to change, and hopefully this shock to the system will have long term effects even after this regime is gone.
