1. i thought the interview was fine

6. What will you think if and when her interview is used........

to publicly discredit the findings of and undo the entire progress that the GJ in Georgia has made toward prosecuting criminals in the American Justice system?

Her self-serving and "prissing" around the truth is making the system a greater mockery than it even actually is. I think she's a bad actor in the employ of bad actors. There is no better explanation at this time.

We must acknowledge that just because an action is technically legal, it is NOT automatically acceptable as an integral part of a progressive or any other healthy culture. When we ignore our duty to call out fraud within our discourse we have given up on civilization. The liars win, obfuscation is transposed as higher logic and the worst of us is in charge.

2. What the hell?

There should be severe penalties for Emily Kohrs, the forewoman of the Georgia grand jury. She may legally be okay, but this attention-whoring cow's leak could endanger the proceedings. As O'Donnell says, it's unheard-of to do this. What the hell was she thinking?

4. She was thinking I can cash in on this. Next she will team up with someone to

write a book about it.

7. I also thought the interview was fine

ignore her personality - she was thinking and processing very deeply about what she could say that would not break the rules.

She did a good job.

Just because something has never happened, doesn't mean it's wrong when it does.

If they were not supposed to talk, then there would be no "rules" other than "Don't talk!"

Sounds like there were multiple rules that apply if you were being interviewed.

And if she can make a book deal later on - so be it. It's not only the big wigs that should benefit from knowledge and experience around an event.

Someone hangs about in the Whitehouse and then writes a book about an insane president - and all we yell about is "why didn't you blow the whistle earlier?!?" Well, it's because they will do what they want to assure they can make money of the situation. Did they break any rules when they released their "Tell all book"? Likely not.

complain all we want, but she deserves the right to speak in her own voice as long as she follows the rules.

3. Interesting and rare peep into the GJ process in general, but particularly fascinating

in the GA gj. I was impressed with how she handled questions.

8. How does this BENEFIT any of us?

I am interested in what any legal scholar thinks about her behavior. I see no good coming of her televised interview tour.

I think it is important to parse out content from delivery. None of us knows what the presiding Judge said to this Jury when they were released. We don’t know if she divulged information that she was admonished not to. I suspect she did not. The danger is the temptation or the stumble during future interviews, and it won’t benefit any of us if that happens.

We are left with our own opinions on her communication style, which I for one found to be immature and narcissistic. Some found her to be charming. She made my skin crawl, but who cares about the range of our opinions anyway. It’s not how she said it. It’s what she’s said, and will continue to say, that matters.

The issue is, and remains moving forward, that she comply with the legal admonishments given to her by the Judge. The more interview opportunities she is given, and her increasing comfort and self-perceived importance, are more opportunities for deviation and mistakes. And in the end, if that happens, all that work will be for naught.

What a shame that would be for all of us.

10. Calm down.

There are tapes and flippers. And there's a perjury case probability.

No matter what anyone says, hair furhair is f*cked. The State law is the State law.

12. Yeah...

You don’t sound like a legal scholar or anyone who has remotely been affiliated with the legal field. I’m sorry if that sounds harsh but that’s apparent.

My post wasn’t about what she said. It’s about what she might say later if she continues to be emboldened, and after coffee this morning with an actual Prosecutor she felt this young lady was a concern, although she didn’t feel she had harmed YET.

Then I read her your post and she laughed. And not in a good way, I might add. It was your title “calm down” that made her laugh. Not sure what you thought sounded frantic or unhinged about my post. Maybe you’re just in the habit of being patronizing even when you don’t know what you’re talking about.

9. She did no harm

11. It reminds me of a plaintiff's letter to a defendant before a lawsuit is filed.

The special grand juror broadcasted a heads-up message on national television. Regardless of her motives and giggles, she provided significant information to those with good and those with bad intentions. IMO stating that more than a few witnesses were given immunity is provocative.

Hypothetically, if I was granted immunity for cooperating with the prosecution, I would do whatever I could to be sure the prosecution won. If my cooperation was ineffective, and if the defendant knew my name, I would worry -- a lot. The silence and anonymity that had protected me would be gone.

This juror didn't consider the effects her words could have. Aside from attention and whatever else she thought she might gain, she was seen and heard by supporters of one defendant in particular. Bad move. Along with those given immunity, she could become a target. Whomever put her up to this must have considered it.

13. She exposed herself to death threats or other violent threats.

Hope she's conscious of that and can protect herself, or Fani Willis can help in that situation.

Now, if the mob wants to start the firing squad early, good.
