Why does Mueller need 2 grand juries?
"The first and most obvious is why a second grand jury was needed at all. There is already a grand jury in Virginia, which is investigating aspects of the so-called Russian connection. That grand jury is fully capable of doing anything the new grand jury can do. It can issue subpoenas for additional documents, summon additional witnesses and consider additional aspects of the case or cases being investigated by Mueller.
So if grand juries really were independent decision-makers of the kind contemplated by the Bill of Rights ? if they truly served as a protection for defendants against overaggressive prosecutors ? then it would make no sense for a special counsel to bifurcate its work into two separate grand juries."

Makes no sense UNLESS you are running two investigations at once. |
Grand juries are created in the states where crimes take place. Flynn & Manafort live in Virginia, so Mueller created a Virginia grand jury. As the investigations have progressed evidence shows they've tracked the crimes to Washington D.C., so now there is a D.C. Grand Jury to issue subpoenas for evidence of crimes in D.C.
The D.C. Grand Jury was creared about a week after Manaforts raid. So they found something there that linked him to crimes and other people living in D.C.
The foreign bribery expert attorney was hired that same day.
