GRAND JURY SAYS NO: Hutchinson Indictment Fizzles

Picture a rancher hauling a bull to auction, and the buyers just shrug and walk away. That's the Justice Department this week. A federal grand jury in Washington reportedly declined to indict Cassidy Hutchinson, the former White House aide, per the Washington Times, ZeroHedge and others citing AP. ZeroHedge, citing Fox News sources, says prosecutors wanted to charge her with lying to the House Jan. 6 committee. The attempt reportedly failed Tuesday. NBC News notes it's one of many failed indictments for federal prosecutors during the second Trump administration, and ZeroHedge says the effort ended 'for now,' so it's not clear this is final. Now, the Democratic-led committee she testified before is the same outfit that never met a hearing it didn't want to produce like a streaming drama. Pass the popcorn and the Constitution.
