A grand jury merely says there is enough evidence to indict him for a crime but I would say most cases going to a grand jury are judged accordingly.

    It is an interesting theory..........but only a theory.

    It will never get to court. He'll cop a plea deal to stay out of jail. That's as good as a conviction. Yep, time will tell.

    Right. Grand jury / indictment standard is probable cause that (1) a crime was committed, and (2) the defendant did it. The burden of proof at trial is beyond a reasonable doubt.

    It certainly is a plausible theory.

    Didn't they also determine that he was the one who sent the letter to himself which contained a white powder? Shouldn't that be an additional charge? That isn't just faking an assault. That is faking a terrorist event.

    When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.

    When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.

    And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.

    War is peace.

    Freedom is slavery.

    Ignorance is strength.

    That will be a federal charge.
