The other firewall has been, sadly not in your case yet, the grand jurors.
Grand jurors have said, no, this is preposterous.
This is stupid for us to charge somebody for throwing a sandwich at a federal agent.
No, this is stupid for us to try to charge the attorney general of New York.
For some alleged scheme in Virginia that doesn't seem to be at all a scheme or criminal, the grand jurors have been firewalls.
And, you know, there's been this expectation through the years, Don, that grand jurors will say yes to anything, that, you know, prosecutors put a case up there, they're going to say yes.
No, I think it's been proven that grand jurors will say no when the arguments are that flimsy and that flat.
A different firewall is going to kick in in Minnesota at some point.
Grand jurors weren't it, but judges and grand jurors have seemed to be the resistance that Congress has not been against some of these controversial moves.
So.
And you have a lower threshold.
You don't have to get the entire grand jury to go along with something.
It's just a subset of grand jurors who need to sign off on an indictment.
But we are seeing examples of it.
I can count a half dozen just in Washington, D.C.
alone.
We've seen them in Virginia.
We've seen them elsewhere across the country where grand jurors have taken a stand and said no to the administration.
And that stuff's contagious, Don.
The word gets around about that.
