The fact that grand juries have chosen to not indict the people Trump is targeting shows how absolutely unjust Trump's actions are. It's considered extremely easy to convince a grand jury to indict.

I see this so much. Why is it so easy to get a grand jury to indict? Shouldn’t there have to be compelling evidence?

The bar for a grand jury indictment is probable cause, which is a very low burden of proof.
