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.”

@edbott That doesn't narrow it down. We know that Trump asked for election result numbers to be changed to a figure he himself in admitted in the call wasn't the correct number - just the number he needed. That's a crime, so an indictment shouldn't be a surprise. But the US legal system seems to have an exception for orange people, so a non-indictment also wouldn't be a surprise.

@TonChryso @edbott Correct. “Not going to be shocked” = Trump not recommended for indictment. To me, at least.
