brought by a fed grand jury without a prosecutor's signature? If they don't and won't, based on rules, rulings and procedures that they follow, there's still no case unless the prosecutor signs off.
From the Fed grand jury manual:
Power of grand jury limited by prosecutor
Fed. R. Crim. P. 7(c) provides, in part:
The indictment or the information shall be a plain, concise and definite written statement of the essential facts constituting the offense charged. It shall be signed by the attorney for the government. . . .
The grand jury cannot indict without the signature of the prosecutor. As stated in United States v. Cox, 342 F.2d 167, 171 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 381 U.S. 935 (1965):
The role of the grand jury is restricted to a finding as to whether or not there is probable cause to believe that an offense has been committed. The discretionary power of the attorney for the United States in determining whether a prosecution shall be commenced or maintained may well depend upon matters of policy wholly apart from any question of probable cause. . . . It follows, as an incident of the constitutional separation of powers, that the courts are not to interfere with the free exercise of the discretionary powers of the attorneys of the United States in their control over criminal prosecutions. The provision of Rule 7, requiring the signing of the indictment by the attorney for the government, is a recognition of the power of government counsel to permit or not to permit the bringing of an indictment. If the attorney refuses to sign, as he has the discretionary power of doing, we conclude that there is no valid indictment. . . .

CitizenSpook claims to be a lawyer. Fine, FWIW on the internet, but what is the procedure actually followed by DOJ and the Fed courts? He should know that. It appears to be the one noted in the various legal sources one can cite, including the Fed Rules of Criminal procedure, that the there will be no charges filed, no case, without the prosecutor's signature. If the court overseeing the grand jury will not proceed with an indictment not authorized by the prosecutor, there is no case, there are no charges. Spook can argue con law all he wants, but it won't "prove" the validity or likelihood of his previous speculation. He can cite the Constitution, but the procedure actually followed in the courts is another matter. No Fed charges are filed without the prosecutor's signature.
