After Grand Jury REFUSES To Indict Protestors Of Felonies, Trump's DOJ Brings Misdemeanor Charges - Glenn Kirschner
Fox "News" Host turned top prosecutor in D.C., Jeanine Pirro, engaged in gross prosecutorial overreach by urging multiple grand juries to charge protestors with felonies when the facts plainly warranted only misdemeanor charges.
Fortunately, the grand jurors, sitting as the conscious of the community, refused to indict the protestors of felony crimes. So Pirro directs her prosecutors to charge the protesters with less series misdemeanor offenses.
Given how Donald Trump treated the "protestors" who attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, versus how Trump's DOJ is treating these two protestors, they will have one heck of a selective prosecution defense at their misdemeanor trials. - Glenn Kirschner - 08/29/2025.
