Grand Juries Refuse to Indict Trump's Political Targets as DOJ Prosecution Campaign Falters

Former Governor Chris Christie slammed the Justice Department's prosecution efforts, saying grand juries are proving that the old saying about indicting a ham sandwich is wrong — they're "putting a bunch of ham sandwiches up there and the grand juries are not indicting them." The Hill reports that grand juries are taking on growing importance as a check on Trump's legal retribution campaign against perceived political enemies. Vox notes that six attempted prosecutions of Democrats have already failed, calling it a lesson about the limits of political weaponization of the justice system.
