It has to go to a real grand jury first. This was just a special toothless grand jury. So, again, nothing happens to you if you try to overthrow the government....actually, quite the opposite. You can hold higher office and be in charge of investigations against you. What a country! Smoke marijuana or now try to get a medically necessary abortion and it's off to prison right then and there with the ability to sit in jail pending your trial if you can make bail. Lovely!
““A hearing will be held on Jan. 24 to determine whether the report will be made public, as the grand jury is recommending, according to the judge’s order. Any criminal charges would have to be sought from one of the regular grand juries that consider criminal matters in the county.
The office of Fani T. Willis, the district attorney of Fulton County, has informed nearly 20 people that they may face criminal charges as a result of the investigation. They include Rudolph W. Giuliani, Mr. Trump’s former lawyer, and David Shafer, the chairman of the Georgia Republican Party. It is not yet clear if Mr. Trump himself is a target of the investigation.””
I had little hope anything would happen, I still have little hope but these are baby steps to justice and I’m glad they’re taking them. Maybe something will actually come from this. >

They're in a race to charge Trump first.
This was always a favourite to win as it's relatively simple compared to the other investigations against Trump.
2023 is looking spicy. >

Being caught with TS/SCI materials in your office and pool supplies closet would have already resulted in charges and arrest for most people. >

Yes, and when it’s the former President famous for litigation delay tactics you make sure every i is dotted and every t is crossed. Takes time. >

How many i's need to be dotted when national security is on the line? This dude should be at a blacksite getting his singing voice tuned up, not hosting world leaders at his estate. >

All of them, potentially even more so. >

Good. I for one have become rather attached to the whole democracy thing. >

BuT WeR'e NoT A DeMoCrAcY, We'Re a RePuBlIc!!!! >

If we can keep it >

How long will the next grand jury take that can actually indict? >

Normally, it usually doesn't take very long. Just however long it takes the Prosecutor to present their case and the Grand Jury to decide whether or not to indict. There is no defense presented at a Grand Jury. >

Lock him up! >

So, again, nothing happens 

You're commenting in an article about something that happened.  And your own first sentence describes what will happen next. >

Oh yay another report recommending stuff.... Those work so well for us, don't they?
What's next is a real grand jury, so yes you're right that they describe what happens next. But let's not pretend a report recommending stuff is something happening. People being indicted is something happening. We've had several reports from several institutions and we're still talking about a real grand jury. A grand jury with actual teeth recommending charges, and then the prosecutor charging people is something happening. >


But let's not pretend a report recommending stuff is something happening.

It is. This is a major step along the way, involving probably thousands (or hundreds of thousands) of pages of evidence and testimony that had been gathered through months of investigations.  That shit doesn't just do itself, and if you want indictments to happen, this shit has to happen first.  

People being indicted is something happening.

I'm as eager as you are to see indictments, but you can't just dismiss all the pre-indictment work as nothing.  It's like watching a baker mix ingredients, spread dough on a pan, and put it in a preheated oven, then saying "the baker will never make bread, nothing has happened yet, the only thing that counts is slicing the bread." >

Kemp will pardon Trump anyway. He will never see justice. >

The Governor of Georgia cannot pardon. It’s up to a panel of people to do so. >
