A grand jury today refused to indict New York Attorney General Letisha James on mortgage fraud. The return of a "no true bill" is historically exceptionally rare for federal grand juries, but is becoming more common in Trump's weaponized Department of Justice. The grand jury mandate for felony charges was put in the Constitution as a check against prosecutorial abuses, and the bumbling Trump Department of Justice is discovering that the wisdom of our Founders is working against them.

Prior charges against Letisha James were dropped because the bumbling Regime appointed the prosecutor illegally. That judge dismissed them "without prejudice," which did allow the DOJ to attempt at second indictment. Today, the grand jury said no to that.

In theory, the DOJ can try yet again, with another grand jury to secure an indictment. Such "grand jury shopping" is generally frowned upon and would amplify existing irregularities in the prosecution of this case, strengthening arguments for dismissal based on vindictive/selective prosecution.
