No indictment....yet.

[Logical me]

Said all along, no indictment until after Obama is elected. Then all charges will be dropped when Obama is sworn in and the RAT machine takes over the Government. All laws against all RATS will be dropped. The Gestapo will concentrate on all opposition. President Bush will be charged with war crimes. Exaggerated? Parts here already.

In Texas, and many other states, it is common for the prosecutor to take wait until a case is completely worked up, then take it to the Grand Jury, which either votes to indict (a True Bill), or to not indict (a No Bill).

In the Federal system, they do that too, but they also, far more often than in State Court, use the Grand Jury to futher the investigation. This kid's friends can tell the FBI or Secret Sevice to pound sand, and refuse to answer any question likely to inciminate their friend. They have to answer the questions of the Grand Jury (or the questions the Assistant US Attorney asks on behalf of the Grand Jury), or face going to jail for contempt.

No indictment after the first time a Federal Grand Jury hears from witnesses in a case is not news. An indictment would have been news, and widely condemned as a rush to judgment.

I’m sure the FBI sprinkled their “magic dust” on the evidence and made it all go away.

[sauropod]

Knew the brat would get off.

[jagusafr]

It doesn’t say they no-billed it, it just says they adjourned for the day without returning a true bill of indictment. Need more info to get truly pissed.

attorney Wade Davies, who issued a statement saying, "We are confident that the truth will emerge as we go through the process. David is a decent and intelligent young man, and I look forward to assisting him during this difficult period."

What is this truth and why is it so difficult to come clean with what happened?

[Tenniel2]

Forty posts on a grand-jury thread and not one instance of the phrase “ham sandwich”?

[dalereed]

“ended its session around noon without returning an indictment”

Hasn’t the American Speculator ever heard of a lunch break?

[Hattie]

Just as I predicted. He had to be Republican doing in a Dem.

[rottndog]

Completely misleading headline.....rather DUish...

[snarkytart]

Goodness, what’s wrong with the person who posted this story on AS online? This is hardly BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!
They’re not finished presenting the case yet.
Sheesh.

[TChris]

Well duh!

Did anyone really believe this Dem operative would ever be punished?

Democrats are above the law. We may as well get used to it.

[Antoninus]

When justice is denied long enough, bad things start happening. We don’t want to go there.

[LowOiL]

I can’t believe this, I can’t fathom this at all. What is wrong with America... Think I am gonna be sick.

[ConservativeGreek]

Wow,Justice on speed!

Evidence is taken on Sunday.

Then in 24 hours they have charges and three witnesses sworn and prepared for the Grand Jury

The secret Grand Jury proceedings are known within one hour of their recess.

I don’t buy any of it.
I been on Grand Jury twice. It doesn’t work this way.

[Publius6961]

Members of a Grand Jury usually serve for a year at a time, and its members must be identifiable.

Otherwise, it's known as a Star Chamber...

Just saying.

[SirFishalot]

Federal Grand Juries seat for 18 months and none of the participants are even allowed to acknowledge who or what they are hearing or deliberating on. This story is a crock!
