A grand jury will decide whether to prosecute Donald Trump – and he can’t tweet about it
After gathering evidence related to the business practices of Donald Trump since 2018, Manhattan District Attorney, Cyrus Vance, has convened a grand jury to decide whether there are grounds for prosecution.

In an unusual move, the grand jury will sit on three days each week – for six months, which gives some indication of the volume of evidence being presented.
The Grand Jury is expected to sit 3 days a week. It probably makes Trump very nervous that they are already working longer hours than he ever did. https://t.co/EaBhjZgfn1

We can only imagine what his tweets would have been like right now.
Trump really wants to tweet about the grand jury now convening in NY to investigate and consider indictments against him.
He really, really wants to.

Luckily, we don’t have to imagine how these people are reacting, because they haven’t been banned from Twitter.

With the convening of a Grand Jury we are a big step closer to a Criminal Indictment of the most corrupt President in US history. And when that Indictment comes, we will be a big step closer to restoring our Democracy. Can’t come soon enough.
