DC Grand Juries Push Back On Donald Trump and Jeanine Pirro; Refuse To Indict SIX TIMES! - Glenn Kirschner
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 is highly 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 cases presented to them by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro's office six times.
Pirro took to the Fox network to berate, demean, and disrespect the grand jurors of the District of Columbia.
This video reviews Pirro's public condemnation of the grand jurors who are performing their civic duty, and also does a deep dive into the sacrifices DC residents have to make when they are called for for grand jury duty. - Glenn Kirschner - 09/03/2025.
