Jeanine Pirro’s office has decided to stop pursuing the case against six Democratic lawmakers who urged members of the military and intelligence communities in a social media video not to comply with unlawful orders, three people familiar with the matter told NBC News.
Roughly two weeks ago, as first reported by NBC News, a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., unanimously rejected an attempt by Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, to indict lawmakers over the video, illustrating that grand jurors didn’t think the government had passed even the low legal threshold of probable cause required to bring an indictment.
While a potential case against the six lawmakers is now considered dead in Washington, that decision wouldn’t necessarily bar a federal prosecutor from trying to bring a case in a different federal court district, though there have been no public indications that will happen.
Wow, sounds like someone in the administration a) learned to read, and b) read the First Amendment of the Constitution??!
Feels like Jurassic Park when the raptors learn to open doors.
No, they just are done with this distraction. It serves it’s purpose at the time to force the news to cover that instead of something actually important instead.
Yes, that is the truth. “Flood the Zone” was also a favorite of Goebbels.
No. She took this case to a grand jury for indictment, but the jurors voted 24-0 to reject the charges.
Pirro can try again with a different grand jury at any time, but has now elected not to.
maybe she should have started by trying to indict a ham sandwich
She tried
tried & failed & failed again…
