The Justice Department on Thursday failed to secure an indictment against New York Attorney General Letitia James, a person familiar with the matter told NBC News.
The presentation to the grand jury came less than two weeks after the original criminal case against her was dismissed.
James, a frequent political target of President Donald Trump who had successfully brought a fraud lawsuit against him, had previously been indicted by a grand jury on one charge of bank fraud and another making false statements to a financial institution.
James has denied any wrongdoing.
Acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Lindsey Halligan, a former Trump personal attorney with no prosecutorial experience, presented the case to a grand jury on her own in the first go-round and that case was declared void on Nov. 24 when a judge found Halligan's appointment was unlawful.

OP
Any Grand Jury anywhere needs to be skeptical about the evidence this DOJ presents.

especially with the sheer incompetence of this regime, let's see, how many no bills has this regime had so far, 4-5?

Its hard to find evidence when no crimes have been committed.
