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.

(78,969 posts)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.

(191 posts)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!

(5,177 posts)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.

(3,135 posts)... 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.
