Egg on their face.' Trump's revenge prosecution failures embarrass DOJ

Dismissed indictments; two grand juries refusing to issue new charges; a judge blocking key evidence from being used for a fresh case: in trying to prosecute key targets of President Donald Trump, the Justice Department has faced failures on a scale rarely seen in federal prosecutions.

The most dramatic recent setback was a second federal grand jury's refusal on Dec. 11 to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James, after an earlier grand jury rejected the Justice Department's proposed charges last week. Abbe Lowell, a prominent lawyer who represents James, described the repeat failure as "unprecedented."

Shortly before that, earlier indictments against James and former FBI Director James Comey were thrown out, and a judge ruled that the DOJ can't use evidence – at least for now – that was key to its first indictment against Comey.

The latest developments exacerbate the mounting struggles Trump administration lawyers have faced in trying to prosecute Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. The president called for prosecuting both of them, as well as Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) in a Sept. 20 social media post.
