'Rather speedy!' Reporter flags curious quirk in Letitia James' indictment

Following the indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James, Washington Post investigative reporter Carol Leonnig flagged a curious anomaly about the grand jury process that was used by President Donald Trump's chosen prosecutor to secure the charge.

"A few minutes ago, weconfirmed that she was indictedby a grand jury in Alexandriaon at least one count of bankfraud, Nicole," said Leonnig. "And the returnwas rather speedy. Four o'clock waswhen the grand jury wassupposed to come back out andpresent their information to [acting U.S. Attorney Lindsey] Halligan. There was a fourperson in, in the courtroom,along with Halligan, and theyreleased their decision."

"I willtell you, there's one otherreally interesting element to this that I'm hearing fromsources, which is that thisgrand jury made its decisionand listened to thepresentation on its very firstday in the box," she continued. "In other words,grand juries sit sometimes forweeks and weeks. This grandjury was impaneled today, andthis was their first case andtheir first decision."

Already, the indictment process, which follows months of politically-charged attacks by Trump on James, has been panned by legal experts as lacking any apparent merit.
