This high level WH guy is outright arguing for official policy directly derived from ethnic /racial stereotypes : the exact logic of racial segregation etc

But a wrinkle for Comey is the Gov using the 6 mo rule under 18 U.S.C. 3288 to bring a new indictment so long as it does not broaden charges , but district court gets to pick the new US Attorney for EDVA until Trump gets one confirmed , so path forward to re charge is not clear

Seems speculative

That’s a good point we would think with all the media coverage that should happen so maybe the legal issue is do the words of a foreman outside the presence of the rest of the grand jury control over the document when there’s a conflict ?

You would think, but it’s not unanimous to indict, I think they have to have at least 12 of the 23, so maybe they’re fractured and not all talking, feel sworn to secrecy, etc. I don’t know, but the magistrate looked at the first written indictment and said the entire thing was no true billed

Something to chew on : the first indictment as written left the GJ room and arrived to the MJ as a no true bill as to the entire thing . The split verdict was explained orally by the foreperson outside the presence of the full GJ . What if the foreperson was mistaken or worse ?
