They not only failed to get an indictment, they failed to get a single grand juror’s vote. It’s probable that this has never happened before.
Likely because the DOJ has never sent hack political appointees to attempt to get indictments on sitting Congress members over protected speech before.

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate
US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

If you're not from Chicago, you might not be aware that ICE attempted to murder a person doing ICE monitoring, long before the murders in Minneapolis. She survived being shot 5 times. She's taking them to court.

I think it should be legal to slap these off someone's face and smash them with a big mallet if you see them recording you without your permission
Social media is awash with videos of men filming themselves approaching women in public spaces and attempting to flirt. In many cases, the videos are filmed and uploaded without the women’s consent. https://cnn.it/4qtIsvB

I posted this the next day and, well, yeah. Here we are. Another reason to remove Schumer as Minority Leader.
Nothing has changed substantively since Alex Pretti was murdered, but thanks to Chuck Schumer and his media tour telling everyone he successfully struck a deal to "rein in" DHS, millions of normies think everything is okay now.
Dem leadership is still sleepwalking and negotiating against themselves while middle aged working people freezing their asses off on the streets of Minnesota figured this out long ago and aren’t planning on standing down or giving an inch.
