The Grand Jury continues its work in New York, as a possible indictment of an ex-president and declared candidate for president awaits his fate. Meanwhile, investigations and more grand jury proceedings continue in Georgia and Washington on other weighty matters. And the political establishment is worried, so the House Republicans have upped in with a subpoena of the New York City District Attorney, even as he conducts his grand jury investigation. We don’t want to jump the gun on the virtues and facts surrounding any actual indictment, so instead we look at the many constitutional matters implicated here: grand juries themselves, secrecy in general, congressional oversight and its limits, campaign finance, “hush money.” Lots to talk about.
