GET ME REWRITE: Grand jury smacks down Trump water girl Jeanine Pirro


Headline:  New York Times, 2/10/2026

Alan Feuer, Glenn Thrush, and Michael S. Schmidt report:
It was remarkable that the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington — led by Jeanine Pirro, a longtime ally of Mr. Trump’s — authorized prosecutors to go into a grand jury and ask for an indictment of the six members of Congress, all of whom had served in the military or the nation’s spy agencies. 
But it was even more remarkable that a group of ordinary citizens sitting on the grand jury in Federal District Court in Washington forcefully rejected Mr. Trump’s bid to label their expression of dissent as a criminal act warranting prosecution.
