/news/ — 'Crock Of Shit': Grand Jury Calls Out Trump's DOJ Lawfare on US Citizens

After failing to obtain indictments on their first try, prosecutors came back a week later, prompting a grand juror to ask if they had “unlimited tries.”

“Like you keep coming back as many times as you want?” the grand juror asked.

“Well, I don’t think we have to worry about that. I think we’re going to be just fine,” Mecklenburg responded.

“I think the saying is the second time is the charm,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Skiba added.

“I hope you don’t have your mind made up already that I’m going to need more tries,” Mecklenburg said.

Asked by a grand juror if prosecutors were “actually presenting any new facts or just a different viewpoint on your side,” Mecklenburg said she was “feeling the skepticism already.”

“Are you going to be able to listen with an open mind? Tell me the truth,” the prosecutor said.

“I — no,” the grand juror responded.

“OK. Then you have to go,” Mecklenburg said.

“I heard this case like last week and I thought it was a crock of shit then and I still think it is,” the grand juror said, before being excused.

The second time, it turned out, was not the charm for the government. Even with the removal of the critical grand juror, the panel did not return an indictment.

So prosecutors came back the following week. This time, U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros made an unusual statement, urging anyone who “cannot set aside their personal feelings” on immigration cases to raise their hands, according to a report summarizing his remarks. During that third session, Mecklenburg acknowledged improperly speaking to two grand jurors outside of official proceedings.

Eventually, grand jurors returned a true bill and charged all six defendants.

The Broadview Six case is part of a pattern by the Trump Department of Justice of pursuing aggressive felony charges against people who oppose its mass deportation and detention agenda. Although jurors have repeatedly declined to convict when these cases go to trial, the experience of being prosecuted causes tremendous physical, emotional and financial stress. Collectively, the members of the Broadview Six owe more than $1 million in legal fees, Abughazaleh told the Guardian.

“That’s not a happy ending, it’s just an ending,” she said. “It’s not justice, but it is a win.”

Why can’t both go to jail if they deserve it?!

>>1519149
domestic terrorists deserve to be procecuted. Leftists kept going with the angle oh there's bad actors on our side but we need to ignore them and consolidate to stop ornage hitler.
So this is just the script flipped back onto them, there's bad actors on the republicans but the democrat leftists are infinitely more vile and should be exterminated we can fix whatever party issues after that

here come the esl shills

>>1519150
Because they don’t.

>>1519154
Now you're persecuting MIGA chuds. If they're not allowed to be racists, they'll have to confront the fact that they're mediocre space fillers who are definitively worse than the minorities they're programmed to demonize

>>1519150
Better question: Why isn't the prosecutor in jail for lying to a grand jury and attempting to rig a case by dismissing jurors? Oh right we don't live in a land of laws.

>>1519147 (OP)
This is why I could never be a judge, I'd be referring to them as crocks of shit the entire time after reading that.

>>1519152
Did you know intimidating a grand jury is an actual felony? Not "I feel in my heart of hearts they need to be prosecuted." No, taking two grand jurors aside, intimidating them, and then dismissing several more constitutes a felony under the law. His bar should at least be revoked.

You don't get to have infinite do-overs and if that involves telling jurors to prosecute or else, that's simply railroading a trial. They may as well skip it if they are just going to keep doing this until they get results they want.

>>1519158
The judge should, under his jurisdiction, be referring that prosecutor to the bar with the recommendation of revocation without the possibility of ever practicing law again. Especially after he tried to talk to jurors in private after intimidating them in-court. The fact he allowed this to go on, allowed them to resubmit multiple times, and didn't declare a mistrial means he is complicit.

You couldn't be a judge not because you're not impartial, it's because you're not on Trump and Epstein's speeddial like he likely is.

>>1519159
Oh wow I guess we should go arrest everyone who rioted over the rittenhouse verdict then, I specifically remember I believe it was the cousin of george floyd trying to incite people to dox and assault the jury if it was anything other then life in prison online.

>>1519161
can you skip to the part where you bring up weird sexual fantasies, that's my favorite part of your meltdowns

>>1519161
>I specifically remember I believe it was

>>1519161
idk what that has to do with a prosecutor intimidating a juror. You're talking some randos on the street vs a Prosecutor with a license, a bar, and his official business name who took an Oath. The prosecutor doesn't get to claim "Oh I'm just a retard who doesn't know dick about the law", he signed papers and got a license informing the jury that he is entirely responsible for his own actions.

Sorry cunt, you don't get to play both sides on this one.

>>1519154
Little Girls can get away Scott Free with illegal citizenship because they’re cute, right?! Go eat a taco, leftist.

>>1519174
This is schizophrenia territory of which the likes no actual person has seen.

Those little girls with illegal citizenship aren't comparable to a federal prosecutor intimidating jurors.

>ignore that he's effectively a public figure with hundreds of thousands of viewers and inciting violence against jurors because he doesn't like the verdict
Try again loser, you should genuinely get lynched for this, gotta love how you supported corruption but when its not in your favor you keep making excuses on why it was fine then but not now.

Ahh yes asking questions is juror intimidation

>>1519184
i feel sorry for your mother

>>1519176
Jury selection doesn't happen in the middle of presenting things to a grand jury. The entire point of a grand jury is to try and filter out retarded prosecutors bringing retarded cases. If the grand jury tells them no, then it's doing its job as intended.

>>1519183
Woosh.

>>1519187
I don't feel sorry for urs for bring such a wretched human being into the world

>>1519190
that doesn't even make sense unless you prefer wretchedness, esl shill

I wish ur dad was epstein

good thing esl shill never found a genie

>Jury selection doesn't happen in the middle of presenting things to a grand jury.
Have you ever been on a jury? They literally ask you how you feel about XYZ and you're supposed to answer truthfully. If you have a bias, they throw you out.

>>1519196
>If you have a bias, they throw you out.
Not believing the bullshit coming out of your mouth isn't bias.

>>1519207
They specifically try to remove jurors that feel strongly about the case by telling them details about the case. You would know this if you were American.

>>1519209
Not in the during or after presenting. The idea that not believing the case a prosecutor is presenting is grounds for removal is nonsensical.

>>1519209
There is a difference between "I won't believe one side" and "I don't believe one side".

>>1519207
Did you know ur not allowed to watch or read reports about the case you're a jury of? you literally suppose to make your decision based solely off the information and presentation of the defense and crown. If ur reason for not believing them is "I hate trump" then damn right you should be arrested.

>>1519210
jurors have gotten arrested for using their position as a juror to advocate for one party or the other and bias the rest of the pool. Its not just grounds for removal attempting to interfere with other jurors is grounds to be arrested.

>>1519147 (OP)
>More news from the Epstein class.
I think I'll pass.

>crown
Lol

Also, they came to their decision based off the case the prosecution was presenting, not outside information, dipshit.

>jurors have gotten arrested for using their position as a juror to advocate for one party or the other and bias the rest of the pool.
When they've come to that position corruptly, lol. Jurors are supposed to debate verdicts. Which is why you can't fucking remove one just because they believe they've come to a decision about a verdict as a result of hearing the fucking case. Doing so poisons the integrity of the deliberations.

You're essentially arguing that any juror that becomes convinced by the evidence they are shown before they sit down to debate how to vote must be removed from a case. That's fucking insane. Showing convincing evidence would result in mistrials. All someone would have to do to destroy a case against them is go on the stand and admit their guilt.

>>1519215
their "decision" was I hate trump lalala who cares I won't ever vote to convict because TRUMP BAD.
>becomes convinced by the evidence they are shown before they sit down to debate how to vote must be removed from a case.
difference between debating and actively letting your bias take over and going lalala they work for trump Me hate trump, hey you if you don't vote no to convictions then you're a nazi baby eating murderer!!!.
You have no 2 choices in maga america, guilty for the traitors or a retrial there are no alternatives just like biden's democrat kangaroo courts. It is the way of life

>>1519215

“Are you going to be able to listen with an open mind? Tell me the truth,” the prosecutor said.
“I — no,” the grand juror responded.

Sure thatsa whata happened.

>>1519215
Insulting the prosecution and being clearly biased on the basis of outside politics and as a result refusing to even look at the evidence with an unbias mind is grounds for jury tampering. They should be given jailtime. They're explicitly asked whether they can be unbiased under oath and they lied.
Your argument assumes the juror is acting in good faith and not lying to the judge when they said they can view the trial with an unbiased mind.
No not just jailtime they should be lynched for violating the repute of the court of justice. The death penalty I sentence thee.
-1 for the democrats aww yeah -destiny

>>1519219
>Sure thatsa whata happened.
That wasn't during voir dire. That was during a meeting after the prosecutor had presented their fucking case.

>>1519222
>clearly biased on the basis of outside politics
Wat? They literally said their decision was based on the case the prosecutor presented the week before.

>I hope you don't have your mind made up already that I'm going to need more tries.
That's the statement that prompted the juror's talk about the case being a crock of shit. The prosecutor fucking failed to sway the juror and threw them out to improve their odds with the jury.

>>1519212

We have a "Crown" to present cases to in the US?

First day shill-botting?

>>1519222
> I think aggression is a sign of strength. I think this because I'm a weak beta bitch who has never had any strength, and my frustration with being a powerless and wholly inadequate male manifests in violent fantasies. If I were even slightly smarter I would be able to argue my position using words; but then if I had two brain cells to rub together I wouldn't be a fucking miga faggot.

>By the way, some random guy committed a crime, so all democrats are violent psychopathic murderers; that's a bad thing, and I definitely, absolutely have self-awareness.

>>1519241
>...all democrats are violent psychopathic murderers; that's a bad thing, and I definitely, absolutely have [no] self-awareness.
Finally someone speaks the truth.

Don't feed the esl shill

>>1519224
>they removed the jurors who refused to be unbiased and BEFORE the trial even began
great low IQ brainlet who doesn't know how jury selection works.

>>1519252
1. This was grand jury proceedings, not a trial
2. This was after the case had been presented
3. You didn't read the fucking article, shithead

>>1519196
I was on a grand jury for six months and have been on multiple petite juries. I don't know what kind of fucked up selection process they use but they send me a card saying I've been chosen for jury every two or three months like clockwork even when I'm not eligible due to having recently been on one already. Grand jury only asks if you know any of the people they mention as the cases come in, and only asks you to decide if it's more likely than not that the crime has been committed based on the evidence that the prosecutors show you, with no input from the defense. Then it goes on to a trial where the standard shoots up to "beyond a reasonable doubt" and the defense gets to ask hard questions and show their own evidence.

>>1519214
This isn't the NYpost or pro trump.

>>1519272
I don't need to, to know ur a dipshit domestic terrorist

You can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich, that’s how bad the prosecution was at presenting it and apparently they were also just making shit up.

>>1519290
I'm okay with you thinking I'm a terrorist given what you think a patriot looks like. If anything I take it as a compliment.

>>1519290
uh oh migger melty, gonna storm a capital building again and spend 4 years in the slammer?

>>1519294
This is the same DoJ that literally actually failed to indict a sandwich when they tried to charge that guy for throwing a sub at ICE or whoever.

>>1519303
gotta take over a part of the city in protest and spend a month holed up shooting at people including other like minded domestic terrorists? please i hope you're next
CHOP boy

>>1519303
the answer was yes, more impotent violence directed at people who never hurt them

>>1519304
lol I forgot about that

>>1519241
> so all democrats are violent psychopathic murderers
What are your feelings on charlie kirk, you disingenuous faggot?
What that thing you fags say all the time? MAGA are nazis? And killing nazis is a part of America's third creation myth, right?
Go off queen. Tell us more about how you're being improperly characterized. Nigger.
