Judge Mulls Release Of Grand Jury Report Into Trump’s Georgia Election Subversion Bid

A Georgia state judge on Tuesday will hear arguments on whether to release a report drafted by a grand jury into President Trump’s efforts to subvert the 2020 election result in that state.

The grand jury’s own recommendation is that they should be made public.

The crooks want it hidden.

“In keeping with many of his other public stances on matters potentially embarrassing to himself and those around him, Giuliani is expected to argue to keep the report under seal”

Oh no, we have to consider the traitor’s fee fees

Not to release these facts is to protect and promote future insurrections.

While Grand Jury hearings are generally kept secret, exceptions can and in the case should be made.

If Willis chooses to indict Trump based on the report, it will be the first example of a former president ever being charged with a crime.

For 240 years, this country managed to elect only one criminal, Nixon. Then we elected the clown prince of criminality.

Hang him, Fani. Garland won’t.

My only question is, if it’s made public, can that hurt the cases in any way?

I remember Oliver North. I know this isn’t exactly analogous, but if some of this report is made public, does it give the seditionists any advantage? I presume it does, by letting each one know what the others testified to.

I remember reading on the history and legacy of Wyatt Earp and how his vengeance against the murderers of his brother pretty much ended the lawlessness in Arizona at the time.

Fear of punishment is a powerful motivator.

I don’t mind if I don’t find out as long as the report is promptly used to bust the criminals.

This was a special, longer term grand jury whose sole purpose was to compile a report on a subject of public interest. By GA law it was not intended to produce indictments as would a regular, shorter term grand jury dealing with multiple cases. Releasing the report of this special grand jury would not be unusual but parts may be redacted. The redactions would be done so that public sentiment would not prejudice a regular grand jury who would see the full report and decide on indictments.

I wouldn’t expect much. That’s not how it works in America these days. The report will be tempered to avoid outright damming claims. Sure there will be dirt but it will not hit as hard as it should.

Some day the “this might” , “could be” and “possibly” crap about a Trump indictment will be over. He’ll probably walk but not hearing about it anymore will be wonderful.

today’s hearing is for “segments” not the full report… so yes, they are asking for “exceptions”

Sunlight to disinfect the scum. Giuliani proved himself to be part of Trump’s realm long ago and doesn’t deserve privacy of his wrongdoings.

“Sure there will be dirt but it will not hit as hard as it should.”
My guess is that it will be buried in footnotes or the appendices. From experience I know that most people ignore the footnotes and appendices.
and @Josh K: it’s “former president” or “then-president” – stop feeding the delusion that the $++#&*$)($_#%^&%**^$^&# criminal still has power! [JCoaC]

Jeebus,
Just indict the guy already. TFG had documents he should not have had. He sought manufactured votes in GA in his “perfect” phone call. He orchestrated a goddamned coup fer g-d’s sake. So, i would think some comeuppance would be in order.
