Looks like since Mueller knows he has little chance of
uncovering evidence then the next best thing is to get
himself fired which will trigger a big backlash against
Trump in the estimation of many.

The make up just like the little arrogant bastard who was resident of a real president will be used to shut everyone’s mouth when they decide a verdict which of coarse will be against trump

“As far as I know there is no ‘defense’ in grand jury proceedings.”

Correct. That’s why people say you can indict a ham sandwich. The GJ only hears one side of the story and nothing else.

Look at the bright side. This will lead to the utter destruction of DC. Finally we will have a target for our rage.

"If it was Hillary being investigated, Mueller would already be dead."

No need. Hillary could confess to personally pulling the trigger on Seth Rich and no jury in the DC area would ever convict her.

This is what was left unsaid in Comey's presser is that he could never get a conviction.

I'm afraid we're heading into Civil War 2.0 as this unfolds.

That’s all it is and Mueller must be fired and disbarred

I never thought I’d say this — God bless Alan Dershowitz!

[As for how he found their names, he might have been legally assigned to oversight in some way? Or formally permitted? Could be legal to make a summary statement without outing names.]

Ethnic,racial *and* philosophical it should be.If the grand jurors are recruited *solely* from the District of Columbia it must be remembered that DC consistently goes 90%-10% for the Rat Presidential candidate.For that matter the Virginia and Maryland suburbs of DC do about the same.

IOW,we can look forward to DJT being indicted on 87 counts,all Class A felonies.

Where was the crime committed?

Oh that’s right, there was no crime.

Just a SC appointed.

In violation of the law, which requires a crime to be have been committed.

Second: how does Dershowitz know who is in the jury pool?

One would think that the law specifies from where grand jurors slated to sit in a particular city would come.Hard to imagine that *not* being the case...although,not being a lawyer myself,I could be wrong.

Try asking for a change of venue in a kangaroo court. Kinda defeats the point of having a show trial.

That "Jury Pool" likely reflects the "Deep State" as well.

The prosecution did a stinking job esp with the bloody glove.

Especially when OJ tried it on and said while facing the jury "doesn't fit" . The prosecution should have immediately stood up and demand that OJ take the stand since, by testifying to the jury, he waived his 5th Amendment right. Of course Ito would probably rule against them, but they could have immediately appealed his ruling.

Clinton/Kaine received 90.9% of the DC vote and Trump/Pence 4.1%.

Even subtracting all convicted felons from the jury pool, the chances of drawing any jury that reflects the composition of the remainder of the United States from DC area residents is effectively zero.

OF COURSE this is a coup d'état!

Grand jury does not try the case. They only indict and every prosecutor in the US gets their indictment if they bring something before a grand jury. By law, no potus will be tried in a court of law while president.

The last DC jury on which I served had twelve jurors and two alternates. Thirteen of us were white. We were laughing about it in the jury room: Look at us. How did this happen?" The black woman was laughing along with us.

People with criminal records can't serve. That eliminates a lot of the usual suspects in DC. Then there are those struck by the attorneys for tactical reasons, which will vary from case to case. I was on a petit jury, not a grand jury; how much latitude does a prosecutor have in picking specific jurors on a grand jury, given that there is no opposing attorney to balance the cherry picking?

DC does vote over 90 percent Democrat but ethnically we're now under 50 percent black with whites a close second, roughly 47 percent to 44 percent. A lot of people probably have a false impression of what a DC jury is likely to look like.

Because the pool is drawn from DC. Try this, stick your hand in a bucket of poo into which a spoonful of tapioca has also been added. Now pull your hand out. What color is it? Does it smell? That's a DC jury.
