It’s a question that comes up all the time, especially in regard to the federal prosecutor and United Nations lap dog, Jack Smith: can you indict a ham sandwich? Well, I have much to say on this topic from many perspectives. Recently, I received a card in the mail to report to jury duty. So I went on the day it indicated and sat in a courtroom with about 100 other people. I happened to know a lot of the people putting the whole thing on, and we had some discussions beforehand about what was happening and what everyone expected. I went to court expecting the judge to let me go because honestly, my life is too busy for these kinds of things. But during a conversation, I got a good measure of just how vital the grand jury was. I had many questions about what happens on that side of the legal profession. All the judge needed were 15 volunteers; they needed nine jury members, and the rest alternants, in case someone couldn’t attend one day, would be called in as a reserve for the proceedings. During that process, I was made the foreman, which meant you had to swear everyone in and put your name on all the indictments and other paperwork that would be generated during the process. Out of those 100 people, there were only 15 volunteers who put their hand up to commit to several weeks of grand jury activity. The judge had a way of getting 15 jurors out of that group of 100. But he had just enough volunteers, so he let everyone else go, much to their relief. Throughout the process, the prosecutor, all the assistants, and everyone in the Butler County Courthouse went out of their way to make everyone feel important. But a thin veil here took me a few days to sort through. In that sorting, I learned a lot about our court system, which would allow people like Jack Smith to take advantage of it and make a weapon out of the law for pure political activism. And to answer the question, yes, you can indict a ham sandwich.

I like Michael Gmoser, the Butler County Prosecutor, and all his assistant prosecutors, and I found things I liked about them all. I would say that Butler County, Ohio, has a lot of good people working in it, especially in the criminal justice system. We have an affluent county with many people in it, so we can afford to have jobs for the right people who want to do those jobs. It’s not like the prosecutor’s office has a bunch of losers like Jack Smith working at it or the other radicals who have presented legal cases against President Trump. The Butler County prosecutors were all good and engaging as if they wanted to do their jobs and work with a grand jury to put cases in a courtroom before a judge through the indictment process. But the problem quickly presented itself, and I asked many questions to flush it all out. The purpose of a grand jury is to provide civilian oversight over the government in the traditions of the American Constitution, which is to preserve the individual rights of people not proven guilty yet by the evidence presented to the court. It was the grand jury’s job to ensure the government didn’t get out of control. Now I know that Michael Gmoser believes in that process, politically and practically. I see many politically active people attached to this law and order process believe the same thing. But in the trenches of everyday activity, between the prosecutors and the cops working the streets, there is a lot of tired sentiment toward the process that is well deserved.
A grand jury is just a bunch of everyday people who suddenly have to jump into this legal world with people that work every day in that world and know their business. A prosecutor or assistant can present just about anything they want to a grand jury, and the civilian oversight doesn’t know better than to scrutinize what the evidence tells them about the state’s revised code. In my particular grand jury, we had all volunteers who wanted to be there, so we had engaged people who asked a lot of questions. When the door was closed for deliberations, we had good debates on the merits of the cases. To ensure that the process went better, I went out and bought the legal book that the prosecutors were using so that we could flush out the crimes with accurate definitions in context. And I would say our group was optimal because it had very engaged jurors. If a judge had to drag people, kicking, and screaming to form a jury pool, as they often do, then the process for the prosecutors would be straightforward: have a jury rubber stamp their recommendations, which was the case in the cases against Trump. A jury without much experience in law, or even a curiosity to get to know some law in a short grand jury gathering, will be entirely at the mercy of prosecutors who use the process of civilian oversight to impose government overreach against an unsuspecting public filled with lazy people who want to get back to watching television at home.
So, for much of the summer, I had my criminal law handbook, and I have marked hundreds of laws that I think should be enforced but aren’t because the legal process works against justice by lots of invisible strings that have seeped into our society from a variety of scandalous characters over a vast period. In Butler County, the prosecutors, as I said, are mostly good. But in a community with fewer good characters, this process could quickly become a runaway train toward the slippery slopes of corruption. Not enough people know civics, and the prosecutors can manipulate them at will. Looking through my book on criminal law, I see that if I were a prosecutor, I could prosecute thousands of laws on just about anybody on any given day. And suppose I had to present evidence to a jury to overcome a defense attorney. In that case, I am sure I could do it successfully on almost anything, including prosecuting a ham sandwich. The whole process opened my eyes to many more significant problems, but I am very grateful at this stage in my life to have had this experience. Because it’s one thing to wonder about, it’s quite another to see it for yourself, and in my tenure, I learned a lot of valuable information that moved from the speculation category into fact. I would say that being on a grand jury is one of the most important things a person could do in their community life. It’s very much needed. But it requires even more people to take that job very seriously because many lives depend on it to be done well. But there are a lot of characters working now in criminal justice who do know how to take advantage of ordinary people on a jury and who don’t know which way is up or down. And a slick, progressive prosecutor could easily have their way with such people. In the case of Jack Smith, that makes him even more dangerous in my book, now that I’ve seen the process up close, and with the doors closed for weeks at a time. I left my experience very proud of the work that was going on in Butler County, Ohio. However, on a larger scale, these notions of United Nations world courts and Jack Smith’s role in them, openly working against our Constitution to subvert it for some globalist objective, became all too clear. And for me, perhaps it was just the right thing at the right time to uncover this phantom menace while we still can.
