    Just keep bringing in more grand juries against her until you either get an indictment or she dies, either way she’s tied up for life.

    It’s a DDoJ. Distributed-denial-of-justice.

    The fact there’s no double-jeopardy (triple? quadruple? Something not infinite at least?!) for indictments astounds me.

    Then again it shouldn’t surprise any more – the US system seems to have a billion holes, like swiss-cheese, only left unexploited up until recently because those in power had, maybe, some small shred of shame and decency. All those loopholes must be absolutely sewn shut, and ‘conventions’ and ‘gentlemenly guardrails’ need to be made hard, fast, and most importantly ENFORCED laws if the country is to ever recover. I’m not hopeful.

      I guarantee you this is true of every nation in the world.
