I looked at the indictment last night and noticed it included the names of the grand jurors. I dropped my head into my hands, knowing this was inevitable. I don't understand why the names weren't reacted.

    Georgia law is that grand jurors names are public.

    Yeah, pretty naive. Or evil. Maybe both?

    It prevents loading the jury to get a specific outcome. That said, it should come with protection or a delay or something.

    Not saying it is, but showing me, a regular citizen, these names convinces me the jury wasn't loaded? Does the defendant have no role in Grand jury selection?

    No, the defendant doesn’t. This isn’t a trial jury, it’s the Fulton County Grand Jury. The GJ sits for an extended period (maybe a month, someone step in and correct me if I’m wrong) and listens to cases brought by the prosecutor. The GJ job is to decide if the prosecutor has enough of a case to indict. It seems in this case, she did.

    There's all kinds of laws like this that are super old, and really harmful in modern life. Like name changes having to be published in the paper, and home ownership being public information. Sorry trans people, if you want to legally change your name, you have to be out to everyone! And don't even think about buying a house if there's someone you don't want knowing where you live, like an abusive family member or ex!

    They're left over from times when information was harder to come by, and they absolutely need to be changed, but our governments are bad at legislating for modern problems

    Advance Democracy noted that Trump supporters were “using the term ‘rigger’ in lieu of a racial slur” in posts online.

    Classy as ever

    The instant I saw the word "RIGGERS" in his bitch ass post yesterday, I knew exactly what it actually meant. Just more dog whistling fog horn blasting racism from The Cheeto Mussolini. 😡

    Sadly, predictable.

    Equally sad and Equally predictable, this (and the ensuing harrassment) will have the approval of the Republican party.

    When someone quite obviously rejects both the electoral system and the legal system unless they work to his advantage, one must surely get the impression that this person simply has no interest in democracy at all.

    Give every single doxxed GJ member secret service protection, and make Trump pay for it.

    Even easier: just reassign the guys from his detail to protect those people, until there's nobody left to cover his entourage.

    If those were BLM activists, they'd have a SWAT team breaking down their door within minutes of posting this.

    Everyone involved in this case should have 24/7 protection. This is probably gonna get messy

    Completely normal behavior for peaceful supporters of a law-abiding citizen. Who wouldn’t do some friendly doxxing to support their absolutely innocent leader.

    Just to be clear, the names of the grand jury members are public. They are written right there on page 9 of the indictment.

    I wonder in what ways this will impact the trial. Everyone on the jury knowing that they are supposed to be annoymous but the jury that was not was targeted.

    I feel like this should be another charge against Trump. I know he didn't do it, but he was still responsible for this.

    Yikes, I hope these people's entire family has some sort of protection. It's normal for them to attempt to kill anyone they don't like.
