Oh my.

"'We definitely started with the first phone call, the call to Secretary Raffensperger that was so publicized,' said [the Fulton Countty Grand Jury foreperson]... Asked whether the jurors had recommended indicting Mr. Trump, Ms. Kohrs gave a cryptic answer: 'You’re not going to be shocked. It’s not rocket science,' adding 'you won’t be too surprised.'”

Jury in Georgia Trump Inquiry Recommended Multiple Indictments, Forewoman Says

She would not discuss specific indictments in the special grand jury’s report but noted that its recommendations were “not going to be some giant plot twist.”

"A special grand jury that investigated election interference by former President Donald J. Trump and his allies in Georgia recommended indictments of multiple people on a range of charges in its report, most of which remains sealed, the forewoman of the jury said in an interview today.

“'It is not a short list,' the forewoman, Emily Kohrs, said."

@edbott I’m not popping the champagne until #Trump is indicted. I don’t believe Fani Willis will indict, I don’t believe Letitia James will indict, I don’t believe Alvin Bragg will indict, and I’m positive that member in good standing of the Federalist Society Merrick Garland will *never* indict Donald Trump. So, no champagne for me. 😢

However, I am positive that Donald Trump will be the 2024 Republican Party nominee and will have a 50/50 chance of being sworn in as #POTUS in January, 2025.

You're right that it won't be Merrick Garland. But that is because it's not AGs but US Attorneys that do issue indictments. In this case, though, it's been turned over to a special counsel, Jack Smith. He would be the one to issue any indictments at the Federal level.
