As an independent grand jury, you also have the right to initiate your own investigations on evidence presented to you, and to indict anyone if you feel they are guilty of wrongdoing, including those government employees and elected officials who are not upholding an oath of public office.

ON THE GRAND JURY
The U.S. Attorneys Manual states that prosecutors “must recognize that the grand jury is an independent body, whose functions include not only the investigation of crime and the initiation of criminal prosecution but also the protection of the citizenry from unfounded criminal charges” (USAM, Section 9-11.010). The Manual recognizes that targets of investigations have the right and can “request or demand the opportunity to tell the grand jury their side of the story” (USAM, Section 9-11.152).
The Supreme Court states that the independent grand jury’s purpose is not only to investigate possible criminal conduct, but to act as a “protector of citizens against arbitrary and oppressive governmental action,” and to perform its functions, the independent grand jury “deliberates in secret and may determine alone the course of its inquiry” (United States v. Calandra, 414 U.S. 338 (1974)). An independent grand jury is to “stand between the prosecutor and the accused,” and to determine whether a charge is legitimate, or is “dictated by malice or personal ill will” (Hale v. Henkel, 201 U.S. 43 (1906)). The grand jury is to protect citizens against “hasty, malicious and oppressive persecution” and to insure that prosecutions are not “dictated by an intimidating power or by malice and personal ill will” (Wood v. Georgia, 370 U.S. 375 (1962)). The independent grand jury is described as “a body with powers of investigation and inquisition, the scope of whose inquiries is not to be limited narrowly by questions of propriety or forecasts of the probable result of the investigation” (Branzburg v. Hayes, 408 U.S. 665 (1972)). “Without thorough and effective investigation, the grand jury would be unable either to ferret out crimes deserving of prosecution, or to screen out charges not warranting prosecution.” (U.S. v. Sells Engineering, 463 U.S. 418 (1983))
Here are some comments from a person who was brought up for indictment: “Obviously a grand jury could not fulfill its duties if it is only allowed to hear evidence which the government chooses to let it hear. Therefore, while I would be more than happy to answer any questions that you or members of the grand jury may have, and while I have no intention of engaging in a prolonged, unlimited monologue, there is additional information which must be provided to the grand jury in order for the members thereof to thoroughly perform their Constitutional duties. I trust that you, the prosecutor, will not attempt to censor me, or suppress such information from being seen by the grand jury, when I am testifying.” The grand jury refused to indict her after hearing her testimony, by the way.
Find out if there is a sign-up sheet to volunteer to get on grand juries in your county, state, and federal jurisdictions. Sign up if you can! It is the best way to put a lid on out-of-control government prosecutions. If you are serving on a grand jury, you have the authority and the duty to call in the person or persons being accused, to dismiss the prosecutor and government employees from the room, and to question and hear from the person the prosecutor wants to charge. You have the duty to ensure that no person is brought to trial unless there is obvious and sufficient evidence to return an indictment. As a grand juror, you are the first line of defense for private citizens against ambitious prosecutors and unconstitutional laws being used against The People.
Our founders intended that our independent grand juries protect people from ambitious or tyrannical government employees and laws. You, as a grand juror, stand as the first bulwark against government tyranny. While you must protect us all from dangerous people who harm others, you must always be aware that your first job is to protect harmless people from unfair, unjust and unreasonable government laws. When laws encroach on private individual rights, you cannot be required to enforce them by returning an indictment. When you refuse to indict harmless people, you help to protect us all, you included, from out-of-control government actions. As an independent grand jury, you also have the right to initiate your own investigations on evidence presented to you, and to indict anyone if you feel they are guilty of wrongdoing, including those government employees and elected officials who are not upholding an oath of public office.
FIJA/AJI Document name and order #: On the Grand Jury: OTGJ#1 August 15, 2010
Yeah. I don’t see that happening.
YOU ARE ABOVE THE LAW!
As a JUROR in a trial setting, when it comes to your individual vote of innocent or guilty, you
are truly answerable to GOD ALMIGHTY. The First Amendment to the Constitution was born
out of this great concept. However, judges of today refuse to inform JURORS of their RIGHTS.
The Minneapolis Star and Tribune in a news paper article appearing in its November 30, 1984
edition, entitled: “What Judges Don’t Tell Juries” stated:
“At the time of adoption of the Constitution, the jury’s role as a defense against
political oppression was unquestioned in American jurisprudence. This nation
survived until the 1850’s, when prosecutions under the Fugitive Slave Act were
largely unsuccessful because juries refused to convict.”
“Then judges began to erode the institution of free juries, leading to the absurd
compromise that is the current state of the law. While our courts uniformly state
juries have the power to return a verdict of not guilty whatever the facts, they
routinely tell jurors the opposite.”
“Further, the courts will not allow the defendants or their counsel to inform the
jurors of their true power. A lawyer who made . . . Hamilton’s argument would face
professional discipline and charges of contempt of court.”
“By what logic should juries have the power to acquit a defendant but no right to
know about that power? The court decisions that have suppressed the notion of jury
nullification cannot resolve this paradox.”
“More than logic has suffered. As originally conceived, juries were to be made a
safety valve way to soften the bureaucratic rigidity of the judicial system by
introducing the common sense of the community. If they are to function effectively
as the ‘conscience of the community,’ jurors must be told that they have the power
and the right to say no to a prosecution in order to achieve a greater good. To cut
jurors off from this information is to undermine one of our most important
institutions.”
“Perhaps the community should educate itself. Then citizens called for jury duty
could teach the judges a needed lesson in civics.”
I think there is a law.. or something ..you can’t hold any government officials accountable for anything.

Sadly, for as many folks that might agree with everything typed there could be an equal amount that disagree with it and think everything went smooth as silk last November and also, in Georgia, January.
Trump Voter Wins Douglas County GOP Committeeman Then Replaces ALL of the GOP Board RINOs Who Refused to Serve With Him Because He’s Pro-Trump
There are a more than a few in our own Congress that are perfectly ok with Donald Trump being gone.
Did these folks certify a fraudulent election? Uh, oh.
I fold.

This casino sux.
“The Election Fraud being perpetuated by our elected officials needs to stop.“
Indeed it does. But when it’s all the chief’s of police committing the crimes, WHO is going to police THEM?
There’s one way out of this and nobody wants to say it for fear…. Of our government.
They tried this with Obama and his BC. It didn’t work
AND HER CRIME WAS RECORDED ON VIDEO, no less.
It was not a real grand jury empaneled by a judge.
A grand jury can’t empanel itself.
Indict the Judge who allowed the Consent Decree that forced legislative controls to be usurped and ignored.
That was here in Georgia brought by Stacey Abram’s crowd.
