I am in NO way suggesting a true bill should have been returned, just commenting that the DOJ’s credibility is damaged. This is a bit frightening. I can envision a future in which the DOJ cannot get a legitimate indictment through a grand jury.

To go after Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche and Krasnov for selective and vindictive prosecution.

Federal officials failed to secure the new indictment against James, whom Trump has targeted, after a judge said the previous one was secured by an unlawfully appointed prosecutor.

The Justice Department on Thursday failed to secure an indictment against New York Attorney General Letitia James, a person familiar with the matter told NBC News.

The presentation to the grand jury came less than two weeks after the original criminal case against her was dismissed.

James, a frequent political target of President Donald Trump who had successfully brought a fraud lawsuit against him, had previously been indicted by a grand jury on one charge of bank fraud and another making false statements to a financial institution.

James has denied any wrongdoing.

Acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Lindsey Halligan, a former Trump personal attorney with no prosecutorial experience, presented the case to a grand jury on her own in the first go-round — and that case was declared void on Nov. 24 when a judge found Halligan's appointment was unlawful.

It would take an extraordinary amount of chutzpah to try to indict her a third time but nothing would legally prevent them from trying.
