The Justice Department once again failed to convince a grand jury to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James, another embarrassing loss for the Trump administration which has tried to charge the president’s foe in a mortgage fraud case that career prosecutors have long viewed as weak.
The grand jury’s refusal of the case on Thursday was confirmed by two people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive grand jury matters. It marked the second time in two weeks that panels have refused the government’s efforts to indict James — a highly unusual occurrence in a justice system in which the threshold to indict is low and grand jurors rarely decline a prosecutor’s case.
It appears the case against James is so weak that now 2 grand juries have refused to return an indictment. Maybe third times the charm.. Oh wait, it would be the fourth time if they try this again.
