"Security Failures and Charges: The Shocking Response to the Richneck Elementary Shooting"

A special grand jury report found that a former assistant principal at a Virginia elementary school should be held criminally liable for her "shocking" lack of response and "poor decisions" that allowed a 6-year-old student to intentionally shoot his first-grade teacher.

"Schiff Slams Graham's Handling of Unsealed Georgia Grand Jury Report"

Rep. Adam Schiff criticized Sen. Lindsey Graham after court documents revealed that a grand jury in Georgia recommended criminal charges against Graham for his actions doubting the 2020 election results. Graham defended himself, but Schiff argued that it was not appropriate for an elected official to try to get another state's secretary of state to discard votes. The grand jury recommended charges against 39 people, including former President Trump, but Graham was not charged. Schiff speculated that Graham was not indicted due to his role as a senator and the complex legal arguments involved.

Lindsey Graham's Controversial Escape from Georgia Charges

A Georgia grand jury report revealed that a majority of the jury recommended bringing charges against Senator Lindsey Graham for his alleged involvement in the effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election. However, seven members voted against charging Graham, highlighting a split within the grand jury. Legal experts believe this split, along with other factors, likely convinced Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis that winning a conviction against a sitting senator would be challenging. Graham denies any wrongdoing and argues that his actions were consistent with his role as a senator. Former Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue were also recommended for prosecution.
