And now, on the cusp of being indicted in Georgia, Trump has been gifted Emily Kohrs.
The forewoman has done a whirlwind tour of the Trump Derangement Circuit — CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, etc. — effectively announcing that the special grand jury had recommended Trump and several of his associates and campaign allies be indicted for an array of crimes.
One assumes that Judge Robert McBurney is ballistic. As we’ve detailed (here and here), McBurney last week directed that major redactions be made before the special grand jury’s final report was publicly released. His reasoning: Grand-jury proceedings are secret precisely to protect the due-process rights of people who have not been formally charged with a crime; ergo, it would violate the Constitution to stigmatize such people by broadcasting that a grand jury suspects them of serious offenses when the prosecuting authority — Fulton County district attorney Fani T. Willis — has not yet decided whether to charge them.
Kohrs essentially flouted the judge’s order, while rationalizing that she was honoring it.
