(9,276 posts)It would be gross negligence on the part of DOJ to ask for a grand jury based on evidence alone. DOJ must convince the judge (not the general public and not the DOJ personnel and not anyone other than the judge receiving the request, for that matter) to his/her satisfaction that not only the evidence exists, but that impaneling the grand jury will serve public interest, that the evidence presented to it only has to do with violations of federal statutes and no other subject, and that their request will withstand all the challenges brought up by the attorneys to the parties named in the request. Further, if any evidece is omitted from the request, or any parties not named in it, the whole process will need to be repeated and a new grand jury impaneled.
Any screw-up at any point in this process would make the odds of "him" running and cheating again much stronger than he would have otherwise had.
