    So US Attorney General Jeanine PirrorCOs office has failed to bring a
    Grand Jury indictment against that guy who threw a sandwich at FBI
    agents. They also tried three times to indict another guy who had been protesting loudly against law-enforcement officeres at a different
    incident, and have failed with that as well.

    It is normally the expectation that a Grand Jury rCLwill indict a ham sandwichrCY -- they will do pretty much whatever the prosecutor wants
    them to do, since itrCOs not a trial and there are no arguments brought
    on behalf of the (prospective) defendants -- the prosecutor is in
    total control of everything presented to the jury. If you canrCOt get
    them to agree with you in that situation, when can you do it? But
    Pirro, it appears, isnrCOt even competent enough to achieve that.

    Maybe she should go back to playing a judge or lawyer or whatever she
    pretended to be on TV -- she clearly canrCOt manage it in real life.

    So now the worst the Government can do is charge these two guys with misdemeanour offences, with a maximum penalty of no more than a year
    in jail.

    I imagine convictions in jury trials on these charges will likely be
    hard to achieve, for the same reasons.
