    Actually, it’s even stupider than that I’m pretty sure, two grand juries refused to give them an indictment for a felony charge, so they brought a way less severe misdemeanor charge because you don’t have to get a grand jury to sign off on those, and that’s what we’re wasting this time on

      As it so happens, they can indict ham sandwiches, but not turkey subs. And I think this is arguably funnier.
