Finnbow is right about perhaps not calling a grand jury, but I would posit that we would disagree on why. In this case, no matter what happened, McCulloch applied a different standard to a white person by not trying to indict him, e.g. letting the grand jury fend for themselves without directing them toward charges. Something he probably never has done before. He should never have called it and taken the heat. Now he has poisoned this thing forever, and the stink is only going to get worse. This is not over.

The grand jury process was a sham in the eyes of most of his community, and he is the one responsible for that perception, which is more important than truth as we all know. Even if McCulloch believed what he was doing was right, he should have known better than to do it that way. He should have recused himself or not called the grand jury and let Wilson walk three months ago. Nixon screwed up by not asking for an independent prosecutor.

Plus the evidence dump is raising more questions than answers.
