I always post the beauty & joy of being Irish but today isn't one of those days. We've seen a horrifically violent act be used by the far right to drum up racist hate which has accumulated in people houses being burned down & masked men searching for immigrants. Devastated doesn't begin to cover it.
Make all grand jury transcripts public.
Make all no-true-bills public at the moment they're issued.
Make all internal comms about charging decisions part of the docket.
Don't like that? Talk to Thomas Jefferson and cry harder.

I really wonder if "oh my god, they're not going to let this one go until we agree to indict, are they?" had any role in the deliberations for Try #3.

Autocrats do not follow the "rule of law." Autocrats "rule by law." They use the law capriciously to reward their friends and punish their enemies. The do not allow the law to bind them and their cronies, they use the law as a cudgel to punish others. Authoritarian law doesn't protect, it punishes.

The idea that this just happened to the Broadview 6 — forcing grand juries to indict by cajoling them in an elevator, vouching to the grand jury, and telling "no" votes to leave if they don't want to indict — is nuts.
It's probably happening everywhere. And it means the law as we know it is dead.
