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.

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.
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.
Fire Mueller
He’s an unethical tool
That’s all it is and Mueller must be fired and disbarred
“... all Dem, all Black ...”
Imagine a grand jury of 25 Maxine Waters’ ...
You paint a beautiful picture
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.]
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.
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.
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.
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.
