The juror who spoke yesterday was having fun fucking with our heads.

She gave us some big clues. She also said some things that were kind of strange. One thing was clear, she was enjoying herself. She knew what she was doing. Hopefully she understands she has said enough. Only in America. You gotta love it.

that I was not cool with but can't put my finger on it. I wish she had waited until any indictments were made. Well, the deed in done now.

She's different that's for sure. Hard to judge somebody from a few interviews.

1. She was unaware of Trump's phone call to Raffensperger? WTF? It's just a stunning lack of awareness of the most infamous phone call in recent memory. How in the world could she never have heard of it? It's ironic because she refers to the fact that other people might not be aware of some of the names of people that testified, but of course she would (because she's clearly so tuned in to current events - Lol!). She also said that she didn't know much about Trump's efforts to overturn the election results - JFC!

2. She enthusiastically gushed about both Lindsey Graham and Rudy Giuliani. She stated that she liked Graham, Giuliani did a good job answering questions, and Michael Flynn was likable. Didn't she also say something about being excited to shake Giuliani's hand?

Kohrs comes across as very unprofessional and shockingly uninformed to me. Also, I wonder if her comments about Giuliani, Graham, Flynn, etc.might have a potential negative impact on future legal actions. I've seen enough and no I'm not impressed by her in any way. In fact, it's kind of disturbing that she was a foreperson on such an important grand jury. Hopefully, we've seen the last of her cringe worthy commentary. It's not helping at all.

but didn't cross over. The the playful smile on her face for most of the interview signaled that she was having fun being in the limelight.

Ridiculed and dismissed by her detractors as ignorant, talkative woman seeking her 15 minutes of fame (the usual criticism of women who dare to enter the public space and not obey the male-defined rules of engagement).

She will apparently be having the last laugh.

Delicious.

Cute, charming, thoughtful, playful, no makeup, no jewelry, no rings in her nose or lips. Very refreshing.

Some of the threads about her are pretty funny.

People here often reveal characteristics they’d probably deny they even have.

She's getting more attention than she probably has in her life and seems to be eating it up. Nothing much wrong with that I suppose, but I don't see anything particularly noble or inspirational about it.

I think most 30 year olds in the US don’t know what life was like before the camera became an integral part of our lives.

I think she is a person who put a lot of effort into her jury service. I was glad she shared her experience.

Emily apparently lives in a large urban area, has completed training as a court reporter, has secretarial skills which she was able to put to good use in her role of jury forewoman. I particularly like the fact that she asserted herself to volunteer to act in that role. It seems to me that assertive in women is a quality that still needs nurturing. She seems to have a sense of self-worth and was not intimidated by being on such an important jury.

I like to see women with her background step up and fill leadership positions. I like to see them doing interviews, being in the public arena and sharing their feelings and opinions. We need them.

The judge spent weeks to decide to release 9 pages of nothing. Maybe this was her way of saying bullshit to the judge.

that release was crap...it was like reading the preface for a book...a month ago D.A. Willis said her decision to bring charges was "imminent" and, yet, even with the partial release of the grand jury report, we still have nothing...if the foreman was poking the judge in the eye then good for her...

I do not have cable anymore.. but from what I was reading, I knew that the other side would use the fact that the this jurist was being interviewed on show, and the media (I blame them as much as anyone, they know that this kind of thing can mess up the prosecution)
