It gives the prosecutor the power to indict in the District of Columbia, which is a district that is heavily Democratic, and would have a jury pool very unfavorable to Trump and the Trump Administration, said Dershowitz, a Democrat who has at times defended Trump against what he sees as an overzealous collusion investigation.
It gives the prosecutor a tremendous tactical advantage, he continued, asserting that the District of Columbia is always solidly Democratic and has an ethnic and racial composition that might be very unfavorable to the Trump Administration.
So I see the significance not so much that he impaneled the grand jury you have to impanel the grand jury to get subpoena power but where he impaneled it.

This is a fight for the nation. The Democrats intend to take it by hook or by crook. /Captain Obvious
Dershowitz knows about stacked (and stupid) juries. He was on the OJ team.
First: the existence of the grand jury is supposed to be secret.
Second: how does Dershowitz know who is in the jury pool?
Trump would get an “OJ” jury.

It is in Washington DC where only 4% voted for Trump. I think the odds are overwhelming that they would be anti-Trump.
Even more damning to Trump than the racial makeup of the jury pool is the POLITICAL makeup of the Jury pool
Which is all part of the plan.
That’s one GJ. A second GJ is seated in Virginia (supposedly)
HJe could get 50 years to life.
If the population from which the jury pool will be taken voted against Trump 96% to 4% you can figure it out. I believe the defense has a limited number of strikes to dismiss jurors.
In a normal trial, the defense can request a change of venue. Not sure about a grand jury.
>>>how does Dershowitz know who is in the jury pool?<<<
He has more than two Brain Cells to rub together?
“Thats one GJ. A second GJ is seated in Virginia (supposedly)”
I think I heard Arlington Virginia. Not quite as bad but still pretty bad from a Trump standpoint. Lots of government people living in Arlington.
As far as I know there is no “defense” in grand jury proceedings.
No doubt this is a total disaster potential.
Well past time for Trump to work that magic he promised us he could make happen so many times.
If the GJ is convened in DC, it is automatically Democrat! DC is like 99.9% democrat. Just look at their voting history!!!
Mueller will start a civil war in his impeachment with no apparent crime. Does he not realize he may be hung high from a lamp post in full public view to display what the reward for treason is? TREASON.
OK. I don’t know what geographic restrictions apply.
Based on racial demographics.
With that jury pool, if 'summary execution' was 'on the table', they would be all for it, even if he was never actually charged with a crime.
The SWAMP is taking action to destroy the will of the people I’m so convinced of that now. Trump will NEVER succeed if it damages the SWAMP elites. Damn the people, we swamp people will control you peons!!
