1. I haven't been watching her interviews, prefering to get the gist of them from

posts here.

Has she said anything that would make this a legitimate effort? Anything that would warrant quashing indictments?

It sounds like she's an ass, but how does that jeopardize indictments?

2. She's been very general in her comments.

If the lawyers are using her interview as an excuse it must mean they know their client is guilty, ya thnk?

3. Oh, we know they know their client is guilty.

4. She has not violated GA law in her interviews. She also has zero to do with GJ yet to be empanelled

13. Can this create more delays, do you think? Right now, delays are what they're after.

14. If it wasn't this, it'd be something else.

Their whole defense will be based on delay.

5. They were going to try that regardless.

I have heard interviews of multiple lawyers saying that they will fail in their efforts, even in light of this recent happening. The jury foreman didn't cross any lines (although, she came a kind of close), give up anything, or break any laws. They don't have a case to quash any indictments. The case will still be brought before a grand jury soon. If they can prove their clients are innocent, they can prove it there.

17. No, they can't "prove it there"

A grand jury hears one side and one side only -- the prosecution. They do not hear anything from the defense or any defense evidence.

8. I'm Sure That Tr**p Will Use Her Statements To Skate On This Too....nt

9. Lawyers will look at any option to avoid charges...

It won't work in this case.

11. Well of course they are.

Throw it at the wall. Heck, I don’t blame them. I also expect them to fail miserably.

15. The Special Grand Jury did not issue any indictments

These efforts are stupid and will fail
