    Judge Jeanine: We will not tolerate this crime

Jeanine Pirro, the United States attorney for the District of Columbia, discusses the mission to stop crime in Washington, D.C., under President Donald Trump on 'Hannity.'


Grand juries in Washington, D.C. refused to indict two people accused of threatening the life of President Donald Trump, prosecutors confirmed to Fox News Digital Tuesday.

Officials from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington said both cases involved threats against the president while jurors rejected charges, preventing the cases from moving forward to trial.

One case involved Nathalie Rose Jones, who is accused of posting online threats to assassinate Trump and later repeating those threats directly to Secret Service agents during an interview.

U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., Jeanine Pirro, whose office pushed for the indictment, blasted the jury’s refusal on Tuesday.

"A Washington D.C. grand jury refused to indict someone who threatened to kill the President of the United States. Her intent was clear, traveling through five states to do so," Pirro told Fox News in an exclusive statement.

"She even confirmed the same to the U.S. Secret Service. This is the essence of a politicized jury. The system here is broken on many levels. Instead of the outrage that should be engendered by a specific threat to kill the president, the grand jury in D.C. refuses to even let the judicial process begin. Justice should not depend on politics," Pirro added.

So what exactly is the bar for  indictment?

It's DC.
I'd like to know the demographic makeup of that grand jury.
(and yes, things like this count more now than ever before...)

I, too, have my suspicions.

If she made the threats online, maybe they can go to where she lives and present it to a federal grand jury there. Often they have a broader jury panel than an urban one that tends to be more like to have TDS.
