A grand jury requires at least a majority of the jurors to advance an indictment.
In this case, only two jurors approved it, or indeed saw it at all.
From the Shrill: “ Instead of presenting a new indictment to the full panel after it rejected one of the counts, interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan gave the grand jury’s foreperson an updated version — not seen by the other grand jurors — to sign. ”
What is cleverly missing from the Hill’s article is that Halligan gave them an indictment that deleted the counts rejected. So it maintained the one’s the full Grand Jury voted on and passed out.
She took a shortcut not realizing it was no bueno. Even though it was a pain in the arse, she needed to repeat the indictment without the other rejected counts. I think here she was rushed by the SOL running out. Running that out, by the way, was the “career” deep state prosecutor’s strategy to help their buddy.
The Hill would have you believe that the indictment was never voted on at all.
That is NOT what happened and you can bet your house that if this were a GOP defendant, this Judge would overlook it in a heartbeat and even that is too long.
