Emily Kohrs - foreperson for the Georgia grand jury that investigated former Pres. Trump, is talking maybe a little more than she should, but I'm not complaining.She tells NBC reporter Blayne Alexander they recommended indictments for more than a dozen people.“There are certainly names you would recognize.”https://twitter.com/ReporterBlayne/status/1628175235806556160

@Teri_Kanefield I’m sure she got a call from GA DA’s office after this. I’m sure all members of grand jury calls.

@Teri_Kanefield Does the GA AG have to prosecute if the grand jury says they should? I'm worried we may get a garland here instead of a lasso.

@annabower who writes for @lawfare and knows Georgia law, says that talking this way is not against Georgia's rules: grand jurors are not allowed to talk about deliberations, but can talk about almost anything else.

@Teri_Kanefield I was relieved to see in the AJC that she referred to notes from the judge outlining what she could and could not talk about. I wish she hadn’t done it and wish the media wasn’t so desperate to get a scoop but at least she’d checked with the court.

@Teri_Kanefield I read a lot of it, but I want to know why, with the most corrupt administration in at least a century, not a single member of that administration has been charged with anything. Ignore J6 for now, let's talk about perjury and conflicts of interest before 2020. We're 2 years into this administration, and the closer it gets to the 24 election, the more cries there will be about charges being political. The cases don't have to be perfect, but there has to be some accountability.

@Teri_Kanefield. Again, apparently this story failed to report what I read in another story on this topic, which was that she got express instructions from the judge about what she should not divulge. Reading is always superior to the boob tube as a way to get news.

@Teri_Kanefield. "The AP identified Kohrs after her name was included on subpoenas obtained through open records requests. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney advised Kohrs and other jurors on what they could and could not share publicly, including in interviews with the news media."https://apnews.com/article/politics-new-york-city-only-on-ap-donald-trump-georgia-266e28c4e47e54731b233e0f770f6729

@Teri_Kanefield She seems to be very young. She's never voted before, and apparently has never taken part in civil responsibility. She's giggly and coy and was the foreman? She gives her full name and doesn't seem concerned about receiving hate/death threats, either electronically or, God forbid, outside her residence or place of employment. That seems irresponsible to me. I think she probably doesn't fully appreciate the gravity of the part she has just played in the fate of our democracy.

@Teri_Kanefield How does this work? The special grand jury/grand jury/indictment thing is confusing to me. If Fani Willis indicts persons must that go through a grand jury? If so, can it have been running alongside the special grand jury?

@Teri_Kanefield Sorry for missing this explanation. Maybe the question is: Can the DA make charging decisions without a grand jury? (We have no grand juries in Finland and Sweden. The prosecutors make all charging decisions here. Hence the confusion 😅)

@Teri_Kanefield #1: Why is the DOJ taking so long with the investigation into the January 6 insurrection? #2: Why didn’t Merrick Garland begin looking at the higher-ups involved in the January 6 attack until well into 2022?#3: A former prosecutor said so and a former prosecutor should know better than Teri #4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 - None of these address my question. My question is not about Trump or J6. Not every crime takes .2 yrs to investigate.Maybe direct me to your point that addresses my q.

@bjornivarsson I think she needs a grand jury, and I think there is one seated.I'm not an expert in Georgia law. I have gathered this much from reading the court documents the lay out the procedure.I think indictments can literally come at any time. They can also take weeks.

@Teri_Kanefield I guess this answers my question 😅 “The federal government is required to use grand juries for all felonies, though not misdemeanors, by the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution. While all states in the U.S. currently have provisions for grand juries,[4] only half of the states actually employ them[5] and twenty-two require their use, to varying extents.[6]” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_juries_in_the_United_States

@bjornivarsson Sorry! I'm trying to do two things at once.Those are federal procedures. Each state has their own procedures, plus the feds have their own so we have 51 jurisdiction.See how annoyingly complicated it is?As I understand GA law from the documents, after the special grand jury issues its report, the DA has a lot of discretion. I think there IS a regular grand jury seated, but all of that is supposed to be secret, but there are clues.

@Teri_Kanefield From the same wikipedia entry “In Georgia, grand juries are required to issue an indictment in felony cases. They are composed of 16 to 23 people who serve for a fixed term which varies depending on the county. These grand juries hear many different cases during their session.”

@Teri_Kanefield I do realize a lot of Trump henchmen were convicted (and many pardoned), but no cabinet or family members. And have DeSantis and Abbott not broken any federal laws with their political stunts? Yet SBF was arrested pretty quickly. Bernie Madoff was arrested immediately after his sons turned him inAlso, all those convictions you mention in the linked piece happened a lot quicker.
