Report: Federal Grand Juries voted to indict defendant 99.9% of the time

Anyone saying that the grand jury won't vote to return indictments simply isn't facing reality.
All we need to know now are the targets. It's already known than Flynn and Manafort are targets, so they're likely already cooked.
The next question is if they turn on the Trump family for a plea deal.

Grand juries, at least at the federal level, almost always vote to indict people accused by prosecutors of a crime. As you can see in the chart above, federal prosecutors pursued over 160,000 cases against defendants in 2009-2010 (the last period for which there is data), and grand juries only voted not to return an indictment in 11. Prosecutors decided not to pursue charges in thousands of cases for a host of other reasons, such as weak evidence or other authorities were pursuing the case.

yeah, we are going to get some indictments. Just a question of whom and for what, along with when.

Ham sandwich....For the country's sake, I hope this is for show. Feel like the criminals will get away with everything, and they'll indict the ham sandwich for something away from the intended investigation...

The more I think about it, the more I get troubled that people are going down this road to take down someone they disagree with politically. I think it cheapens politics.
And the biggest loser of all are the American People. Because instead of focusing their attention on winning these voters back by crafting messages and proposing legislation that helps them, political forces instead are focusing their energy on taking down the person these people voted for.

Flynn, on the other hand, may provide some political optics problems since he was the person that Trump wanted Comey to stop investigating.
Either way, if it's just Manafort and Flynn, then it will cause some political damage, but far from worse case scenario.

Now maybe there is information we don't have that says otherwise, BUT based on what we know, that doesn't seem to be the case.

You can argue whether or not it is warranted, but you can't kid yourself that DC is an objective district.
I don't want to live in a country where political opponents are indicted by areas of the country that are 97% politically opposed to you.

Flynn is already involved in a grand jury in Virginia, I would speculate that at the very least impanelling another special grand jury likely means someone other then Flynn is a target.

Using the force of the law to nullify political forces is something that isn't exactly american.
And to think that some of the current stuff isn't motivated by politics is laughable.
Trump is absolutely despised by most people in DC, to the point where his assassination would be cheered

Under a grand jury you have no rights.

As Comey said, no reasonable prosecutor would bring it to a Grand Jury.
