Grand jury declines to indict N.Y. Attorney General Letitia James, less than two weeks after the first case was dismisse

Source: NBC

The Justice Department on Thursday failed to secure an indictment against New York Attorney General Letitia James, a person familiar with the matter told NBC News.

The presentation to the grand jury came less than two weeks after the original criminal case against her was dismissed.

James, a frequent political target of President Donald Trump who had successfully brought a fraud lawsuit against him, had previously been indicted by a grand jury on one charge of bank fraud and another making false statements to a financial institution.

James has denied any wrongdoing.

Acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Lindsey Halligan, a former Trump personal attorney with no prosecutorial experience, presented the case to a grand jury on her own in the first go-round — and that case was declared void on Nov. 24 when a judge found Halligan's appointment was unlawful.

We know Trump is vindictive so I am sure James is not celebrating.

........The new case was presented to a grand jury in Norfolk, Virginia, by different prosecutors.

The failure to secure an indictment on Thursday does not bar prosecutors from attempting to do so again in the future.

A separate source familiar with the matter said there “should be no premature celebrations.”

With the full weight of the corrupt federal government, they can't indict a little Ole black lady from New York. They appear to be a bunch of incompetent white people that only got their jobs because of the color of their skin. LOSERS!

Failing that, they’ll have to make up some new charges. Ya know, like a mistake on her taxes, or felony jaywalking.

I don't think they can legally re-purpose a jury member -- if you have sat on a grand jury for a defendant once, surely you would be excused from sitting on a grand jury for that same defendant a second time!? I mean, you would already have too much knowledge of the case to be impartial.

... cannot abide ANY defiance of their illegal edicts from anyone. Being thwarted by a woman, and a woman of African heritage is more than Trump can stand, being the racist, misogynist piece of shit that he is. Keep fighting the good fight, Letitia. We got your back.
