All i can say is....
Discovery is a Biotch...
Some of the discovery needs to be about the activities of special prosecutor Michael McCrum and the activities of the grand jury. The left has declare all out war and the rest of us need to treat it as such. McCrum needs to be investigated, his background and political contributions traced, any instructions or conversations with Rat appointees exposed, etc.
bttt
That’s why I stopped contributing to it, a long time ago.
The standard developed over case law IMO. It only requires a vote of more than half of the grand jurors voting once a quorum is reached. Reasonable cause is another term used in this process...it is merely a statement, or true bill, there is reason to bring the matter to trial. In essence the prosecutor shows a violation has occurred and he puts the proposed defendant present during its occurance.
With no defense testimony taken or defense counsel present, it is kind of a rubber stamp most times.
Lastly the grand jury is used rather than a preliminary hearing to limit the disclosure of evidence a prosecutor has amassed. Recent case law has developed that there is NO requirement to report exculpatory evidence making the grand jury more of a rubber stamp IMO.
I don’t know either, but my question would be, why wouldn’t indictment by a GJ not be considered a “seizure” under the 4th Amendment requiring “reasonableness” (probable cause)?
Another wonderful example of the caliber of so many of our “public servants” these days.
Why does she have to voluntarily step down?
Doesn’t someone have the authority to flat out fire this bitch instead of Perry having to try to force her hand via a budget veto?
Sean Penn as a woman...
Maybe John Belushi didn’t really die, but secretly got a sex-change operation.
Seriously....you want to go with that.
Ewwww, Jaba the Mutt!
