One benefit of holding #Trump accountable in Georgia is that #Fulton County has no problem broadcasting criminal proceedings related to a trial of national and international significance to American public so that people can judge for themselves #Georgia #legal

#DOJ took overt investigative steps into 3 of #Trump's co-conspirators in 2021. But because those steps were not where TV lawyers were looking, they were missed.

โ€œโ€ฆDOJ took investigative steps in 2021, before the #Jan6 Committee sent out their very 1st subpoena. Yet bc those investigative steps didnโ€™t happen where most TV commentators were looking โ€” notably, via leaks from defense attorneys โ€” those steps passed largely unnoticed and unobstructed.โ€

2/ Bower:

A. Witnesses havenโ€™t been given 48 hour notice for Thurs grand jury

B. Judge McBurney, who has handled 2020 election matters, is scheduled to sub in next week as presiding judge

C. It makes sense to present the case toward the end of Willisโ€™s indictment window because the jurors can then be released from jury service (i.e., they wonโ€™t have to keep coming back to court).

The question now is whether weโ€™ll see indictments on Tuesday or Friday next week.
