Elizabeth Holtzman on Mueller Indictment: ‘This Is Very Dangerous for the President’

‘If no one’s going to be charged, it could be very harmful if people know that there’s a grand jury investigation’

RUSH EXCERPT:

HOLTZMANN: "Oh, yes. You can’t talk about what’s going on, on the grand jury. The only person who can discuss what’s going on, on the grand jury is the witness himself or herself. They can’t be stopped. But the grand jury, the prosecutors, it’s all secret, actually to protect the innocent. If no one’s going to be charged, it could be very harmful if people know that there’s a grand jury investigation. But once the indictments come down and people are arrested, I just remember watergate, you know, what was happening there was that the Congress was conducting investigations. We had the Senate select committee. But at the same time, the watergate special prosecutor was pursuing indictments and pursuing plea bargains and pursuing guilty pleas and moving forward. And that also provided a lot of the evidence that helped to move the impeachment process forward. So this is very dangerous for the president of the united States."
