It hasn't existed since Trump stopped being President. So how does that save him in the documents case like you guys were trying to claim?
Not sure what DC has to do with a case in Florida.

Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday asked the Justice Department to explain its use of an out-of-state grand jury in the Mar-a-Lago case.
The demand came in response to a duo of filings submitted under seal, which Cannon directed a clerk to strike from the docket.
The Justice Department “shall address the legal propriety of using an out-of-district grand jury proceeding to continue to investigate and/or to seek post-indictment hearings on matters pertinent to the instant indicted matter in this district,” she wrote.
Matters of classification fall under the control of the Executive Branch
The documents case covers multiple jurisdictions, therefore grand juries are needed in multiple jurisdictions.
The grand jury that indicted him (twice) in the documents case is empaneled in Florida.

The two indictments that have been handed down came from the Florida grand jury. There's still an active grand jury in DC that has not handed down any indictments yet.
I don't get what's confusing you.
