REPORT: Lawyers for GOP Witnesses in GA Grand Jury Investigation Prepping to Quash Possible Indictments After Foreperson's Media Tour
As Bonchie wrote earlier, Emily Kohrs, foreperson of the Fulton County, GA special grand jury formed to investigate potential election crimes by Donald Trump and his associates, started a media blitz Tuesday night and immediately destroyed the credibility of the body, likely tainting any indictments that might occur as a result of their investigation.
Now, Robert Costa of CBS News is reporting that “lawyers close to several GOP witnesses” for the grand jury “are preparing to move to quash any possible indictments…based on the public statements by the forewoman of the special grand jury.”
Now, why CBS News would learn this before a more conservative site is anyone’s guess, but it’s not a surprising turn of events. Lisa Rubin, attorney and MSNBC legal analyst notes, Georgia special grand juries are investigative and not charging bodies, and that Georgia law favors disclosure of state grand jury proceedings, so any motion to quash an indictment isn’t likely to succeed. But still, Kohrs’ comments are definitely not a good look for the Fulton County DA’s office and won’t play well to a jury.
Anderson Cooper admitted that Kohrs’ interviews are “a prosecutor’s nightmare.” Wonder who green-lit her appearance there, and what Cooper had to say behind the scenes in his network’s complicity in possibly tanking an indictment of the man they love to hate?
In addition to likely seeking to present the text of Kohrs’ comments to any possible jury, a smart defense attorney would play video from her interviews. Kohrs looks and sounds unhinged. The most charitable take was from MSNBC’s Rubin, who remarked on Kohrs’ lack of a poker face:
“And yes, I’d bet many of you would clean her out in poker, given her face’s propensity to say what her mouth would not.”
Many on social media commenters were of the opinion that Kohrs’ place on the “hot/crazy” scale was far to the “crazy” side; I tweeted that she looked like the type that had a voodoo doll of the popular girl from high school she was still obsessed with. Soon after, a Pinterest account allegedly belonging to Kohrs was located and was filled with pins about witchcraft and the occult.
That also will not go over well in the Bible belt.
