It's very unusual to fail to secure an indictment from a federal grand jury.
There's even a famous saying about how easy it is to convince a grand jury to return a true bill.
But sources tell me Trump's DOJ secured zero / nada / not one (1) single vote in quest to indict Dems over a social video:

In Rocky Mount, Virginia, a statue was erected to honor 70 Black Union soldiers who fought in the Civil War. There are fewer than 25 monuments nationwide honoring the United States Colored Troops, and the memorial in Virginia is the state's first.

Trump's FBI raid in Georgia is potential model for getting search warrant to seize 2026 ballot boxes, says @rickhasen.bsky.social.

A Republican-led Utah audit of over 2 million voter registrations found only one noncitizen, who never voted.
The results undercut the right-wing narrative of widespread noncitizen voting, especially as Republicans renew their push for a proof-of-citizenship requirement in voter registration.

Utah reviewed its voter rolls for noncitizens. It found one. Who never voted
The results sharply undercut the narrative of widespread noncitizen voting Republicans are using to promote new nationwide restrictions on voting.

SCOTUS gave Trump immunity from prosecution.
Congress wouldn’t impeach him no matter what he does.
He ignores court orders.
Ignores Congress.
His cabinet does anything he tells them to even if it’s illegal.
DOJ does too.
And the military.
That’s how autocracies are born.
