Summary

Grand juries sit as the conscious of the community, making sure the charges brought by prosecutors are supported by the evidence AND acting as an important guardrail against prosecutorial overreach and abuse.

It's very unusual for grand juries to refuse to indict a defendant on felony charges proposed by federal prosecutors. However, grand juries have now refused to indict SIX CASES presented to them by DC Attorney Jeanine Pirro.

Pirro took to the Fox network to berate, demean, and disrespect the grand jurors of the District of Columbia.

Glenn reviews Pirro's public condemnation of the grand jurors who are performing their civic duty, and also does a deep dive into the sacrifices D.C. residents have to make when they are called for for grand jury duty.

0:15.6	Grand juries in the nation's capital are continuing to push back against D.C. Attorney Janine Piro's

0:28.8	These are difficult times, and if you believe in justice, progress, and democracy, the news you

1:07.6	So friends, can I tell you something?
1:10.3	I loved my time appearing before grand juries in Washington,
1:14.8	D.C. For 24 of my 30 years as a federal prosecutor, I spent tons of time investigating and
1:22.2	indicting cases before D.C. grand juries. And let me tell you, friends, grand jurors sacrifice much to perform what is

1:41.2	about their term of service. How long do grand jurors sit? This may be more than you
1:46.2	want to know, but in D.C., because we're a federal city, we're not a state, we have this sort of
1:51.4	unique jurisdiction there. We have two kinds of grand juries. We have a superior court grand jury,
1:57.9	and they indict cases that are mainly local cases, though not exclusively.
