The idea that this just happened to the Broadview 6 — forcing grand juries to indict by cajoling them in an elevator, vouching to the grand jury, and telling "no" votes to leave if they don't want to indict — is nuts.
It's probably happening everywhere. And it means the law as we know it is dead.

Analysis Summary
Collins is reacting to real misconduct — federal prosecutors in Chicago did improperly pressure grand jurors in the Broadview 6 case, and transcripts confirm they dismissed jurors who disagreed. That part is verified and well-documented. The leap to 'this is happening everywhere' and 'the law is dead' is rhetorical commentary, not a testable claim. The post nails the immediate scandal but avoids the nuance that this was prosecutorial misconduct caught and overturned — the system did respond, though late.
Claims Analysis (3)
“Grand jury misconduct in the Broadview 6 case — forcing indictment by coercion in elevators, vouching to grand jury, telling 'no' votes to leave”
Transcripts and multiple outlets confirm prosecutors improperly pressured grand jurors and dismissed dissenters. Details match reporting.
“This is probably happening everywhere”
Speculation about systemic prevalence. No evidence provided. Reasonable inference from one documented case, but unverifiable claim.
“The law as we know it is dead”
Rhetorical statement expressing distrust in judicial system. Hyperbolic framing, not a falsifiable factual claim.
