Maddow Explains: What Is A Special Grand Jury? | MSNBC
How on Earth are they going to find jury members who are totally neutral?
YOU THINK THE JURORS WILL BE NEUTRAL???? LOL.
@Tattooed White Trash last time I checked, you’re the one who started the insult. I wonder why you can’t take it back.
@Tattooed White Trash – No, my MAGA friend. Your parents failed. Spectacularly!
@mike briganti Oh, i did NOT say THAT. Read my comment, understand the words I used.
@Drought Tolerant fellow officers testified AGAINST Chauvin
In Canada, a Grand Jury is called a Preliminary Hearling. Feel free to borrow that term for the U.S..
@Brooke B We are a free country and we get to choose our candidates with DOMINION machines, invented here. We don’t have RIGGED elections
@joyce roberts do you have a caretaker at all times to hold your drool bucket🤤😂
@Brooke B Well aren’t you the sour grapes of the Cheetos fan club or are you his gatekeeper
@joyce roberts You’re just too ridiculous to take serious. I have no more time to waste on replying to your ignorance. You are the direct result of the corrupt MSM, but because you have been warned and choose to remain misinformed, there is no one to blame but yourself.
You have a great country, I appreciate any advice you can give us how you do it !😎
We just need Judge Dredd
I don’t think you want judge dredd going after Epstein and Hollywood, the left would collapse!
I mountain of crimes takes more time to review. Just round off the sentence to life.
Now do the Clintons and the Bidens
@kingnicii ZZZzzz yawn !
@kingnicii I’m sorry, we were only looking for crimes in the real world. I’m sure they are both guilty in the tinfoil hat wearing delusion-o-sphere but that doesn’t count.
really missed an opportunity to call this a “GRAND Grand Jury”
Biggest grand jury like you’ve never seen. The best grand jury. Greatest grand jury in history. A very special grand jury. Make grand juries great again!
/s
Political posturing is going to cause a war where we smack down stupidty once again.
OH REALLY? SO WHEN AND WHAT STUPIDITY DID YOU SMACK DOWN ALREADY?
@mike briganti We the people voted Trump out of office. That is fact, not Trumpian Reoublican denial of fact. The election was not stolen, sorry.
@Nancy Ross It’s the same denial loop in their heads, that loops in Drump’s. They can’t figure out that DEMOCRACY was and still is on the brink of going over the cliff. They would rather live under Fascism
Thank you Racheal for explaining this so eloquently. Six months for a grand jury is a long time for it to sit and for extra days per week. That tells me. there is enormous mounds of testimony and evidence to hear. Someone obviously is messing his diapers about now, and Cheetos can complain all he wants that it’s another “witch hunt” but I rather doubt it. Can’t wait to see what happens next
Its not a witch hunt, its an investigation looking for a crime, like they do in Russia
@Peter Stoops Explain that to Cheetos because he put out a statement after they announced the grand jury. Read his statement where he insists it’s another “witch hunt”
@joyce roberts I was being sarcastic, I actually agree with it being a witch hunt. its a group of prosecuters who don’t like trump decided to investigate in hopes of finding a crime. Thats not how it is suppose to work. Your suppose to start with a crime, then investigate the crime
@Peter Stoops Oh I’m quite certain they have already found the crime and for a Grand Jury, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s multiple crimes against multiple people, that have had multiple investigations
You either get charged or you don’t….They’re taking 6 months because trump has a lot to unload for the Grand Jury to better understand and YES it will take every bit of 6 months to put it all out there…. conspiracy no more
Individual number one is a multiple felon.
6 months? So it will end near December … MERRY CHRISTMAS TRUMP, I GOT YOU AN INDICTMENT!
The one Christmas gift Trump does not want. Maybe we can get him a musical card. Which Christmas carol can ‘we sing lock him up’ to.
@Big Blue How about a gift card to the federal prison commissary? Or dibs on top bunk?
We can only pray that our justice system has not bowed down to the 0.01% owners.
you mean Bezo’s, Gates, Soros? the top billionaires are all democrats, doing what they can to squash free speech
Annnd for the law pundits there IS NO FIFTH AMENDMENT when it comes to GJs….
Thanks, Rachel! 💜
Honestly, has Rachel Maddow ever been right?
When it leads to the convition of the orange mob boss….NOTHING is unfair.
Starbucks juries. They come in short, tall, grande, and venti sizes. And they stay awake 😃
MSM will soon be in front of a grand jury, so will election officials, poll workers, demacates, governor’s, and you know who, big pharma, and face book, Twitter, the cover up always gets you in the end.
Rachael Maddow thank you for supporting the 2001 Georgia election audit . You are a true Patriot!
Tonight on Rachael Maddow hear what we’ve learned from the CIA.😂
if there is that much info to go over to have these folks there that much, you would think there would be enough to charge.
It’s a Special Grand Jury.
It’s gonna be YUUUUGE.
