Lawyers Do What They Do

Remember: The fact that the motions will be made doesn't mean they will succeed. https://t.co/NADMN8P8Zv

I’m pretty sure it would be negligence if not malpractice (yes, it’s a thin line) not to try this. I’m also pretty sure it will fail.

I just don’t see how it ultimately compromises anything for the potential defendants. Mostly because this seems to be the state of affairs in Georgia:

For those asking whether the forewoman is allowed to discuss grand jury matters: Yes, she is. Georgia law prohibits grand jurors from discussing their deliberations, but she can talk about pretty much everything else…including what’s in the report.

And from everything I’ve heard/read, this jury member has avoided discussing deliberations, and hasn’t really said anything not in the redacted report.

On Truth Social, Trump launches his first attack on the Fulton County grand jury forewoman. "This is not JUSTICE, this is an illegal Kangaroo Court," he writes in response to her recent media appearances. pic.twitter.com/b2XFOUO7H1

If Trump is right, his recourse is to seek a contempt hearing before the court. Of course the Georgia D.A. will do that if this undermines her investigation.

As long as she doesn’t, we can safely assume the state of Georgia law is as Ms. Bower says.
