🤦‍♀️ Yes she was.

Michael Bromwich:

She was a reckless idiot for doing what she did.

Robert Costa:

News: CBS News has learned that lawyers close to several GOP witnesses in #Fulton Co. investigation are preparing to move to quash any possible indictments by DA based on the public statements by the #forewoman of the special grand jury, per two people familiar with the discussions #Georgia #Trump

@GottaLaff This was my immediate impression. I was pretty aghast to hear her blathering about the case so publicly, as aired on Lawrence’s show last night. Incredibly foolish and irresponsible to gush like a teenager about a case of such consequence. It was to the point that it really seemed intentional like sabotage.

@JenX @GottaLaff Like her talking about what is obvious to EVERYONE in the world is the issue. I choose to consider the fact that their report had been out for a WEEK and no indictments. It reeks of a coverup, and I’m sure the powers in Georgia would love to blame the grand jury foreperson rather than the fact that that call was BLATANTLY ILLEGAL and it’s been over TWO YEARS OF ZERO CONSEQUENCES for the GOP. Keep talking sister, it’s the only action we will see.

@kthornton Of all times to accuse someone of a cover-up, choosing to go after Fani Willis is the worst choice. She's done nothing but play hard and tough and is the first one to do so. @JenX

@GottaLaff @JenX and this is not about Fanni Willis. I have no idea what kind of headwinds Georgia is getting, she is getting g from folks far more powerful than Ms. Willis. Bravery is in short supply it seems. I believe that this Foreperson is sending a message. “If you don’t indict, We WILL TELL AMERICA WHAT HAPPENED.”. and that is a first. and a good thing, i choose to believe. I choose to trust ordinary Americans to do what is right.

@GottaLaff @JenX and after six years of zero leaks, zero bravery, zero prosecutions despite the six years of Trump crimes in fro to the world, I respect that. Call me a dreamer, but someone needs to hold these people accountable to enforce our laws, and if it is a normal American woman who got selected to be on a grand jury in Georgia, well, that makes some poetic sense to me.

@kthornton Poetic doesn't play well in a world where you need to keep your mouth shut at the right times and open it at the right times. This wasn't the right time.

As for zero prosecutions? Do you know how hard it is to get ANY conspiracy convictions, let alone multiples? VERY. They're making progress, nailing down testimony and evidence. Hang in there. @JenX

@GottaLaff @JenX she didn’t say a single thing we and the world don’t already know, and she spoke legally and was within the rights of the grand jury process, and Georgia law.

@kthornton That's what I said. That' doesn't mean it was the right thing to do. @JenX

@GottaLaff @JenX the judges orders to release information we should worried. It’s easy for those outside of the process to be critical, especially when trump and the gop have successfully covered up so many crimes, but, this forewoman knows what’s up as does the judge and I choose to err on the side of those closest to the process. If this stops an indictment, well, that will the the 600th one to be quashed by power, and it won’t be this young ladies fault.

@kthornton I don't think it will stop any indictments. I think it could create opportunities for Team Trump to stall more by going to court, knowing they'll lose. I think she needed to stay away from cameras, because she added nothing. We knew indictments were to be recommended, that was in the court papers. She didn't add much more other than what a swell witness Lindsey Graham was & how honest Rudy was. @JenX
