Trump DOJ Runs SCARED as Special Counsel PROBE is DEMANDED!!!

Prosecutors provided redacted grand jury transcripts to Judge April Perry, initially claiming redactions were 'IT related.' The judge later discovered these redactions concealed evidence of prosecutorial wrongdoing, viewing it as an intentional cover-up.

Judge April Perry found significant redactions in grand jury transcripts, which she initially assumed were innocuous but later revealed to hide misconduct. The host and guest describe this as 'thing one' and an 'effort to cover up the wrongdoings.'

Assistant US Attorney Sherry Mecklenburg allegedly engaged in improper vouching by telling grand jurors she chose them because she 'trusts' them and 'would never ask you to charge somebody if I didn't think there was probable cause.' This constitutes a prosecutor acting as a witness and attempting to sway the jury based on personal credibility, and also indicates 'grand jury shopping' by selecting a favorable jury.

Mecklenburg's direct quote: 'I said I want to go in front of the Thursday grand jury because I know you and I trust you. And you know me and you trust me and I would never ask you to charge somebody if I didn't think there was probable cause.' The guest, Andrew Weissmann, states this is 'blatantly saying I engaged in grand jury shopping' and 'quintessential vouching that is improper and not allowed.'

After an initial 'no true bill' (refusal to indict), prosecutors presented the case to a second grand jury. When a grand juror expressed skepticism, asking if there was 'any new actual facts,' the prosecutor responded, 'I'm feeling the skepticism already. Are you going to be able to listen with an open mind? Tell me the truth,' and then dismissed the juror, stating, 'then you have to go.' This is a fundamental violation, as prosecutors cannot dismiss jurors for disagreeing with the facts.

A grand juror's quote: 'Are you actually presenting any new actual facts or just a different viewpoint on your side?' The prosecutor's response and subsequent dismissal of the juror. Weissmann notes, 'You do not get to dismiss a grand juror or a trial juror because they disagree with you on the facts.'

Across three grand jury presentations, prosecutors failed to instruct the grand jurors on the necessary 'mens rea' or intent standard required for a criminal conviction. This is a fundamental omission, as intent is a core element of most criminal charges.

Andrew Weissmann, a former federal prosecutor, states, 'Zero. Zero. There is no intent charge to the grand jurors.' He emphasizes, 'That is a core fundamental charge.'

Prosecutors initially attempted to avoid judicial scrutiny of the grand jury transcripts by dismissing the felony charges, which require grand jury indictment, and proceeding only with misdemeanors, which do not. This move was an apparent effort to prevent the judge from reviewing the problematic grand jury proceedings.

Weissmann explains, 'they had already dismissed the felonies or about to dismiss the felonies and only go forward with the misdemeanors because they were trying to avoid the judge looking at the grand jury transcripts.'
