Prosecutor in Trump criminal probe convenes grand jury to hear evidence, weigh potential charges
WaPo vis MSN ^ | 5/25/21 | Shayna Jacobs & David Farenthold

Manhattan's district attorney has convened the grand jury that is expected to decide whether to indict former president Donald Trump, other executives at his company or the business itself should prosecutors present the panel with criminal charges, according to two people familiar with the development.

The panel was convened recently and will sit three days a week for six months. It is likely to hear several matters — not just the Trump case ­— during the duration of its term, which is longer than a traditional New York state grand-jury assignment, these people said. Like others, they spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation. Generally, special grand juries such as this one are convened to participate in long-term matters rather than to hear evidence of crimes charged routinely.

Indictment is one thing. Convicting is quite another.

Trial by media. The Dems favorite game. Justice does not, and should not, work that way.

The left is just plain rabid. There’s no reasoning with them or trying to live with them. Judging from the violence in the cities the dems run, they can’t even live with each other.

The process is the punishment. Get an indictment from a packed grand jury, get the arrest on TV and show it every night, leak fake information to the media regularly. The process is the punishment and it is proprietorial misconduct.

Yes, indictment vs conviction. I would like to know if no conviction is achieved, Trump can countersue for attorneys fees and costs and defamation, damages. I would also hope he can bring Vance before the bar and nail him with conduct unbecoming, directing political attacks under color of law.

Yes, I would bring in Lin Wood and spare me the boos because Lin Wood oozes integrity and knows these types of cases inside out.

The case against Tom Delay was taken to the grand jury seven times before an indictment was issued. The Dems will do the same thing to Trump.

Donald Trump has already endured process torture from Pelosi’s House. He can’t sue Congress but he can countersue these scumbags.

If the members of the Grand Jury aren’t morons or public employee’s, they might just INDICT THE PROSECUTOR!!
