    So when a grand jury issues an indictment, the prosecutor has two choices:

    • ask for an arrest warrant. The indictment remains secret until the arrest has been completed, and the defendant appears in court.
    • ask for a summons. The indictment is made public and the papers are served on the defendant like a regular lawsuit.

    In this case, they went with option 2, summons. Which is the normal option for just perjury with no imminent flight risk.

    And I hope to God that we still live in a country where they can’t just go back to arrest the guy without first going back to the judge to get a warrant.
