Family obligations and work was crazy, so I'm just trying to catch up on the latest now, late in the evening. Usually can keep tabs on all the developments throughout the day. Not today, though.
Anyways, I was just reading multiple tweets on Twitter that due to the special grand jury foreperson's chaotic interviews, a motion to dismiss will now be granted on any future Willis indictments and Fanni Willis cannot indict Trump? Also Dana Bash on CNN said that a Trump legal member told her that this is "a goldmine for Trump, legally and politically."
Also, I scrolled through DU posts and we seem none to happy about this.
I cannot imagine that Fanni Willis has worked this hard just to let some wackjob derail everything? Is there something that she can do with a new grand jury that negates this? Please tell me it is so, or are we screwed as far as Georgia goes, and all depends on Jack Smith and Merrick Garland now? How serious is this??
P.S.: Whenever I seem to be getting my hyperanxiety under control, something like this happens.

(1,835 posts)Especially given the 2-pronged nature of this investigation, where a second grand jury will actually have to indict Trump, and presumably, draw it's own conclusions. I cannot imagine that this foreperson just singlehandedly can throw away the entire case for good. That said, the panic on twitter was palpable and, like I said, with someone with hyperanxiety like me, their panic rubs off on me. I'm going to leave this post up just to get a wide view of opinions though.

(1,835 posts)Makes sense. It is indeed, "froth on a wave." Or at least I'm going to presume that to keep my sanity haha! (kinda sorta not joking!)
The Magistrate
(95,255 posts)Indictments come from a separate grand jury. The lady has not revealed anything the general public is not aware of, she has not breached the secrecy of the grand jury. If she had, she would be subject to charges. It would not affect the recommendations of the report, or affect actions of the indicting grand jury (on the courteous assumption there will be indictments).
