Maddow Explains: What Is A Special Grand Jury? | MSNBC
How on Earth are they going to find jury members who are totally neutral?
no jury is neutral
I wondered the same thing. But they managed it for the Chauvin trial
@@mattjacks0n83 Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha... yeah boy that was a neutral jury alright! Hey, maybe they could fly in those folks... why waste 6 months... just tell them how to vote and be done with it.
That’s a great question.
They will lie and try to hide their social media history.
Individual number one is a multiple felon.
Biden?
In Canada, a Grand Jury is called a Preliminary Hearling. Feel free to borrow that term for the U.S..
Yeah...because We The People want to emulate Canada😂😂😂
@@magdalenem123 Well, considering our single payer health care, lack of gun violence and more, many might agree.
@@James_Knott God forbid we Canadians suggest anything that might bring the US into the 21st century and clear up any confusion over phrases they have

@@factsarenotdirtyfwords5451 may I suggest that karma already began when any one under any legal pursuant gets that first bout of anxiety and perhaps restlessness due to guilt?
really missed an opportunity to call this a "GRAND Grand Jury"
Biggest grand jury like you've never seen. The best grand jury. Greatest grand jury in history. A very special grand jury. Make grand juries great again!
/s
A great-grandjury, if you will
Thanks, Rachel! 💜
Why explain the law to fools who have already come to a verdict? They don't understand a word you're saying.
I really hope he doesn’t get away with this one; otherwise I will never trust the justice system again
Know anyone who inflated the value of their home to sell it? That is not against the law. It's been going on in the real estate marketplace for thousands of years. Trump is being used as a diversion from the alleged actions of the most vicious criminals of our time who are implementing the New World Order - The Great Reset-while the population of our world sleeps or is distracted by small stuff like possibly prosecuting Trump.
Now the special grand jury should be a well mixed of people. Because if they're all the red, white, and blue caucasian Americans, you know darn well the outcome of the case already before it starts.
I would watch the jury closely.
A reporter explains what a grand jury is. 135 hysterical people hate her for it. You should hear how they act when someone tells them they can't park in the red zone, even "just for 30 seconds".
This is a little off-topic but whenever the topic of jury duty comes up, I just feel the need to share that I don’t do jury duty. I haven’t for over twenty years. Some people want to do jury duty and feel that it’s an obligation of being a good citizen. Good for you. If that’s you, then move on and do your civic duty.
But if you are someone like me who has no interest in being a juror, or can’t be a juror because of other obligations and have no time to explain your reasons to the court, and, oh by the way, are the least bit interested in how I get out of jury duty, “like” this comment. That’ll get me back to this thread. I will share my secret.
Who is in a grand jury? Is it 12 normal people or is it fellow prosecutors who indict on the grand jury?
I don’t want any leaks until orange is indicted on something strong. If they don’t get orange , he will be martyred more by his fans and only stronger. Either get him, or we need to ignore him.
wow i wished all news reporters where like this. able to teach us while talking about big issues in the world. Without being boring and sounding like she hates her job
Couple notes here that Rachel didn't fully explain about Grand Juries. I served on a Federal Grand Jury several decades ago (I was actually one of the youngest Grand Jurors on record and was the youngest on my Grand Jury by a couple decades). Grand Jury seatings vary depending at which level of Government you're dealing with. For Federal, you are sat for 1 year and you hear cases typically 1 day a week every two weeks (a total of 26 time in a year normally), however the Government can ask you to come in more often for large cases where more evidence is collected and more must be looked at.
The ultimate goal of the Grand Jury, dealing with the indictment, is not charge the defendant, our job is to determine if the Government has enough evidence to take the case to court and has a reasonable chance of winning the case. If the Grand Jurors reach a simple majority vote (in my case, 12 of 23), a True Bill was issued to the Government and the Government Prosecutors were to proceed with charging the defendant. If a True Bill was not reach, a simple majority voted against, then the Government could not charge the defendant at that time and would either need to continue gathering evidence or the case would be dropped.
If the defendant was being held and the Grand Jury voted against a True Bill, more often than not, the defendant would be released as the Government has a limited amount of time to finalize the charging of the defendant once they are held. If a defendant was not held, there was no time line, outside of statute of limitations, to finalize the evidence collection.
Now, you might be saying, "wait a sec, why are there people still being held for the insurrection?" and that is that the Grand Jury has already handed over a True Bill. The cases now go to regular juries to determine guilt or innocence.
TLDR: The Grand Jury's job is, does the case pass the smell test.
If you got caught for stealing a loaf of bread, they'd put you in jail immediately, no questions asked. Just sayin'.
Should be illegal and it just shows that America is just as corrupt as any other country .
But you still get a trial.
Indeed. The justice system is too chicken sh*t to just charge anyone this rich and powerful. Justice is only for poor criminals.

So we have to wait another 6 months to know who will be charged if anything...😔😔😡😡
Just Go over to the black and orange tarot political channel on u tube for the answers every day at noon central time, where 12 of your political questions are answered daily. That's where maddow gets his un named sources from. Lol. TDS required to participate in the chat.
It can go quicker and also longer but in these high profile cases they have to go for a slam dunk and make it air tight. Well what ever as long as that traitor is behind bars before 2024.
But no explanation on how a party without an objective moral basis is able to justify governing?🙀
Geesh this could be over in 3 days,day 1 trump testify's,day 2 prosecutors say his lips moved he lied,day 3 they indict, i don't see what all the fuss is about ?
LOL. Kiss, keep it simple stupid. ❤️🇨🇦
Can they find a 'neutral' jury? Yes. Anyone can potentially be a neutral jurist, if they have integrity. A jury member can ONLY consider that which is presented in the course of the trial; they are not supposed to consider outside information or disinformation. This is one of the cornerstones of our judicial system and democracy.
your judicial system stinks and your democracy is non existent .
That's a lot of criming that Cy Vance would need 6 months to go through documents! WELL, the ex did lie thirty dirty thousands times in his 4 years in public eye.
Uh-huh 🙄
When it leads to the convition of the orange mob boss....NOTHING is unfair.
"convition"??
@@timobrienwells C'mon, you know Lisandro means "conviction".
Just saying...

DOWNVOTERS:

If the prosecution case takes 6 months, with no cross-examination of their witnesses. A trial will likely take multiple years.
If u don't know trump activity lie and hide evidence. It was only after Biden became president that they got access to his taxes.
@kingnicii The Trump's campaign collusion with Russia is still known to be true.
@kingnicii what does his taxes has to do with Russia?
@kingnicii Oh, that's very clever. Pretty common for low-intellect people to use that line whenever they what to convince themselves that they're smarter in situations where they are wrong. But you wouldn't have the self-awareness to realize that.
I read that a person like Trump could be called to the grand jury to testify and that their lawyer must wait outside the room. So, you wonder what role, if any, there is for defense in a grand jury. In other words, in a grand jury, is there someone also advocating that there is not sufficient evidence for a charge?
No because it is not a trial.
Tick Tock Trump
Right?!?!, can hardly wait until He's back in Office.
I just LOVE click bait titles! We now know SOME things about this particular special grand jury that make it different from a (regular) grand jury. But what exactly is a special grand jury? If only there was a video that explained what they are and how they differ from a non-special grand jury. Wouldn't it be great if there was a video that addressed the question, "What Is A Special Grand Jury?" Maybe Rachel Maddow could tell us. Click bait and incorrect desctiptions. Love 'em.
Kind of sounds like they're going to present cases for most of the Trump family involved in the family business.
But nothing on the abortion gag order?👀🙀
Getting worried about The big lie
Truck loads of criminality ,remember manafort there was no other crime like it to compare lol 45 is special type of criminal 750 dollars in taxes.
if there is that much info to go over to have these folks there that much, you would think there would be enough to charge.
Rachel is so amazing at breaking stuff down--sometimes a little dead horsey, but amazing!
This Guy Maddow is out of his mind.
So what day will he been arrested? September 11th??
July 4th.
Double secret probation , if they don't make this stick ,you kiss '22 and '24 good bye ! Vote !!! this is not a dress rehearsal
Why? It is all timing.
Hi Rachel Anne.👋🍺.
America could use laws and a justice system.
IF THE DEMOCRATS STOP HIDING THEM.
lock the traitor up
who sits on a grand jury? are they regular citizens or gov. officials or what?
You weren't listening? They're just ordinary citizens. I had no clue even what a Grand Jury is, but this broadcast made it very clear.
Political posturing is going to cause a war where we smack down stupidty once again.
OH REALLY? SO WHEN AND WHAT STUPIDITY DID YOU SMACK DOWN ALREADY?
@@mikebriganti2187 We the people voted Trump out of office. That is fact, not Trumpian Reoublican denial of fact. The election was not stolen, sorry.
@@nancyross7935 It's the same denial loop in their heads, that loops in Drump's. They can't figure out that DEMOCRACY was and still is on the brink of going over the cliff. They would rather live under Fascism
I guess understandable in this situation, since even just the Trump crimes we know about are immensely extensive. Although, in this case, they will only be processing crimes relevant to New York State, and not various federal crimes he may have committed, including judge intimidation, jury tampering, and witness intimidation.
Don't forget Georgia Trumps threats And begging to come up with 11780 " votes" all on tape there's the " Fraud" and tampering.
I wonder how you prevent those grand jurors being nobbled in some way during the six week period ? - I presume they are not bundled together in one house without outside contact for that time?
Gotta be hard to sit just one day over 4 weeks, but I'm guessing there is a Lot of info that they will need to absorb on this day, and then go off to their normal lives for another six days before the next - phew, I couldn't manage to keep it all fresh in my mind, amazed that the jurors will.
....... Maybe they will just pick the very brainy jurors? ~ what day think?
How in the world are they going to find impartial jurors?
As a Brit, I had no idea even what a Grand Jury is. Thank you for making it so clear. Here in the UK, the decision on whether to prosecute is taken by the Crown Prosecution Service - lawyers employed by the state to decide whether the evidence is strong enough to justify a prosecution - and a jury becomes involved only when the case comes to trial, and they have to decide whether the defendant is guilty or not guilty. (In Scotland, which has a slightly different legal system, there is a third option of "Not Proven".)
I don't see a third option - All justice systems have different methods of achieving the same thing
In Australia the Public Prosecutor's office gets a briefing from both the defense and prosecuting side he then has to decide based on what he has been told from both sides wether or not a trial will result in a conviction - If he believes that is unlikely then he will withdraw the case
Check out the Grand Jury in the Court of Public Opinion.
Also this jury contain 23 jurors and it only need 12 votes to continue to indictments.
if true, her leaving that info out is just stupid.
Proof?
@@janvanruth3485
Yes a grand jury is different from a regular jury, for example this is only for the prosecuting side, any defence at this point is not present.
This is about moving towards an indictment and since these cases with a grand jury have to be airtight this is what they do.
Information about it can be found either on Internet ( I think ) or otherwise by contacting a DA's office and simply ask.
@@AndyWoohoo666 not quite accurate. Apparently 16 to 23 people can sit on a grand jury. AT LEAST 12 have to decide to press charges. Not just 12. It actually states 12 or more.
@@michaelshigetani433
You need a minimum of 12 as in the majority, also in this case it is 23 picked for this jury.
You interpret my comment like the devil reads the bible.
So accurate enough, anything else?
Annnd for the law pundits there IS NO FIFTH AMENDMENT when it comes to GJs....
@LowJack187 Who you gonna shoot?? Lol.
6 months ....wont be enough time to get through all trumps crimes
its hard to understand with your nose up trumps butt
Beatles
Even Teflon wears out eventually.
So in normal cases, the judge decides whether to bring charges or not and in 'special' cases it's the jury that decides?
No - in a normal case, a normal grand jury decides.
@ORANGE GENERAL A judge has to verify the prosecutor's charges and hear the defense dismissal for a trial to be approved to be presented to a jury
I hope Hillary is on the grand jury.

Starbucks juries. They come in short, tall, grande, and venti sizes. And they stay awake 😃
Why the confusion on what a Grand Jury is, it states what it is right in the name. A regular jury bribe is under a thousand, a grand jury bribe starts at a thousand, and a special grand jury starts at a thousand and includes something special thrown in, like a pardon.

Grand Jury is something which will indict Trump. That definition is good enough for me!😁
How Are they going to make sure each grand jury duty member isn’t a super fan of his or hasn’t been paid off or isn’t being threatened?
An investigation looking for a crime. Since when is it illegal for a citizen to decide whether or not to pay an extortionist, perhaps to retrieve their child, perhaps to save their reputation, perhaps to save their business, perhaps do we open your gasoline supply pipeline to the East Coast? Interesting to note the prosecutor who ran on going after Trump has passed this on to someone else because it's illegal to go after someone who you said you were going to go after when you ran. Just ask the prosecutor in St Louis. My opinion

He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
