Grand juries in Washington, DC decline to indict two accused of threatening to kill Trump

Grand juries in Washington, D.C. refused to indict two people accused of threatening the life of President Donald Trump, prosecutors confirmed to Fox News Digital Tuesday.

Officials from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington said both cases involved threats against the president while jurors rejected charges, preventing the cases from moving forward to trial.

One case involved Nathalie Rose Jones, who is accused of posting online threats to assassinate Trump and later repeating those threats directly to Secret Service agents during an interview.

U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., Jeanine Pirro, whose office pushed for the indictment, blasted the jury’s refusal on Tuesday.

"A Washington D.C. grand jury refused to indict someone who threatened to kill the President of the United States. Her intent was clear, traveling through five states to do so," Pirro told Fox News in an exclusive statement.

"She even confirmed the same to the U.S. Secret Service. This is the essence of a politicized jury. The system here is broken on many levels. Instead of the outrage that should be engendered by a specific threat to kill the president, the grand jury in D.C. refuses to even let the judicial process begin. Justice should not depend on politics," Pirro added.

In a second case, another grand jury declined to indict Edward Alexander Dana, who allegedly threatened to kill Trump while being arrested last month on unrelated charges of vandalism in Northwest D.C.

According to charging documents, Dana told police he was intoxicated, admitted making the threat and described himself as a descendant of the Huguenots, French Protestants who waged rebellions in the 1600s.

Jurors rejected charges leave room with large thick brown envelopes a smile and a wink.

If confirmed threats against the Chief Executive cannot be resolved by the judicial process in DC, then perhaps they should be resolved outside the courtroom.

After a few ‘resolutions’, wanna-be assassins may find pre-indictment plea deals as a healthy alternative.

just my $0.02.

No, what we need to do is separate ourselves from that part of the country that hates us, and wants nothing more than to rob us blind and imprison us.

Now you are sounding like a Confederate. :)

Remember when secretary of Ag Espy was charged with 30-some counts of taking bribes, and even admitted to some of the meat-industry charges in court testimony, and the DC jury found him not guilty of all charges?
