The article discusses how grand juries are increasingly rejecting criminal charges in high-profile cases, particularly those stemming from the Trump administration's actions. It argues that this trend reflects grand juries rediscovering their power to check prosecutorial overreach and protect against political persecution. The authors advocate for procedural reforms to strengthen grand juries' ability to fulfill this role.
