It is highly unusual for prosecutors to fail even once to obtain an indictment from a grand jury given the way the process is stacked in favor of the government.
Next thing you know, they will charge the members of the three grand juries with obstruction of (the department of) justice.

It’s only a matter of time until they say “we don’t need a grand jury”
People will point out that it’s illegal.
They’ll bring the charges anyway.
Nothing meaningful will be done about it.“Why must we adhere to these ancient, moth-eaten institutions? Let’s get into the 21st century, and streamline the process.”
“Good idea, while we’re at it, let’s look at prohibiting gerrymandering and the Electoral College.”
“Okay, the what now?”
I believe the prosecutor as already said he was going move forward with charging her, so yep we already there.
After an immigration agent pushed Ms. Reid against a wall, the prosecutors said, she struggled, kicking and flailing her arms as an F.B.I. agent, Eugenia Bates, rushed in to help. During the scuffle, Ms. Reid “forcefully pushed” Agent Bates’s arm against the cement wall, prosecutors said, causing lacerations on the back side of her left hand.
God, acab and a half with this one. What in the fuuuuck…
This is the best step. Right now they’re arresting anyone and everyone on blown up charges. Once they realize they can’t get convictions or even charges in a lot of these cases?
Well, that’s what ICE’s completely fly by night shithole concentration camps are for.
This is one of the last levels of safeguard: At the end of the day, public opinion matters for whether or not you can put people in prison (or even put them through the life-changingly traumatic and expensive experience of a major criminal trial.)
They are trying to change that, of course. George W. introducing whole new systems that were outside the normal constitutional safeguards was deeply horrifying to a lot of people, because it laid the groundwork which Trump is now so many years later building his camps on.
Ham sandwiches in shambles right now
