Giuliani: Wilson Case Never Should Have Gone to Grand Jury
A comparatively muted Rudy Giuliani told Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace that Attorney General Eric Holder’s federal investigation of Ferguson officer Darren Wilson would go nowhere, as anyone who had read the transcripts would conclude.
“Having read the transcripts of the Grand Jury, and having been a prosecutor for thirteen years, I don’t see how this case normally would even have been brought to the Grand Jury,” Giuliani said. “This is the kind of case, had it not had the racial overtones and the national publicity, in which the prosecutor would have come to the conclusion that there was not enough evidence to bring to the Grand Jury.”

“Attorney General Holder’s gonna have to take a case in which a jury couldn’t find probably cause to indict, and he’s gonna have to try to find probable cause in front of a federal Grand Jury,” Giuliana said. “It’s an impossible case to present to a Grand Jury.”
Giuliani strapped dynamite to a conservation about black crime and white police forces last week, one he continued throughout multiple cable news appearances. He seemed a bit more moderated this time around, acknowledging that “some of the blame” for poor relations between white police forces and black communities was on the police.
