I thought a Grand Jury was supposed to be determining this. This case is over the release of documents from an FOIA request. How can a Judge order the DOJ to charge someone, if it isn’t even part of the case he’s hearing?

or perhaps it is just bad reporting and they meant take the case to the GJ for a vote
Precisely, this is the case filed on behalf of NcCabe for wrongful termination and violation of rights. The judge in his termination case has no business telling DOJ what and when as to their separate investigation.
I dont know about an order to this extent, but a grand jury has a judge who is in charge of it. In other words its not a two part prosecutor and grand jury arrangement, its triangular with a judge involved all along, though not present while the prosecutor meets with the grand jury. Frankly I welcome this order. Given the events of the last week I think my previously stated view that the excruciatingly long periods of time that the DOJ investigations are taking would allow the deep state to prepare a massive preemptive or retaliatory counterstrike.
