NY grand juries (regular people) do all of the actual work without prompting from the DA.
The only thing the DA does is provide witnesses and physical evidence and read the laws relating to the evidence.
The grand jury asks all the questions of the witnesses and reviews all the evidence.
Then they vote to indict or not in private. The DA asks if they voted and how. They report their votes.
At no point is the DA coercing anyone to vote a certain way, which would be illegal. At no point are jurors discussing the case with anyone outside the jury room (also illegal).
The rumors are there are dozens of indictments, each one based on evidence and witness testimony.
There’s this huge cloud of politicization over this, but the reality is Trump, his attorney, and possibly others committed crimes and this grand jury is holding him accountable.
As law-abiding citizens, is this not what we expect and has it not been the foundation of our judicial system for 247 years?
Or is a former president simply immune from our laws and judicial processes?
