D.C' Grand Juries Tell Trump's DOJ 'NO, We Will Not Indict Protestors On Felony Charges!' - Glenn Kirschner
It is a rare occurrence when a grand jury refuses to indict a case that a prosecutor urges them to indict. Yet Donald Trump's U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeanine Pirro, had grand juries tell her N0, they would NOT indict two protestors for assaulting police officers. In fact, those grand juries told here no FOUR TIMES!
One of the protestors threw a sandwich at an officer and another reportedly stepped between and scuffled with officers who were trying to detain someone due to the person's immigration status.
The grand jury sits as the conscious of the community and evaluates the evidence presented by the prosecutors to determine if there is enough evidence to indict someone on a felony charge. But the grand jury also is a check on prosecutorial overreach, abuse, and misconduct.
This video discusses these new legal developments. - Glenn Kirschner - 08/27/2025.
