One problem is they have to go before Washington DC grand juries.
Yup!....and if they don't do their job..they can be credited with starting Civil War2...I hope they realize that..because their lives wont be worth a plug nickel...FIFO
You don’t need a grand jury. A prosecutor can go before a judge and present the preliminary evidence to indict someone on criminal charges. Then the target is arrested, appears at a plea hearing, bond is set, and the defendant and prosecution go to trial with the judge setting the date.
Not necessarily. If the Justice Department believes they have enough evidence to charge a subject with a crime, they may request a preliminary hearing in front of a judge for a ruling on probable cause.
If their “information” filing is solid and presents convincing evidence that a crime has been committed, the judge will, in all likelihood, rule the state has satisfied the evidentiary burden necessary for “probably cause” to indict.
Ho
Hum.
15th story like this already.
Let me know what there’s INDICTMENTS. OK ?
Do they? If it could be shown that some of the crimes occurred from laptops or from related activities in Virginia, Maryland or other states, wouldn’t the court districts that cover those states have jurisdiction?
