So it is legal not to tell a person or his lawyer why he’s being indicted? I just don’t understand how this can be. It’s like arresting and handcuffing someone but not telling them why until they’re at the police station. I know I sound naive, but my mind can’t wrap around it.

We have had grand juries since we were British colonies. Today only the US and Liberia use grand juries to screen criminal indictments. It would take a Constitutional amendment to abolish them here (5th amendment) but only about half of the states require them for non-federal cases.

In the Bragg/Trump case, the local population voted 80% against Trump, and yet this case could change the whole nation by tainting the 2024 election. If a criminal trial results, Trump's lawyers could ask for a change of venue, but who knows what kind of judge would preside.

You and I agree that Bragg has summoned a kangaroo court. Trump could appeal, but the appeal might not be over until after 2024.
