It was a glass half full, glass half empty day on the Donald Trump
prosecution beat. If you were hoping that portions of a report by the
Fulton County, Georgia special purpose grand jury investigating 2020
election interference would call to throw the former president in
jail, you were bound to be disappointed.

You were also probably not reading the fine print on supervising Judge
Robert McBurney’s Monday order
[[link removed]] mandating
the publication of just the introduction and conclusion, as well as a
section detailing jurors’ “concern that some witnesses may have
lied under oath during their testimony to the grand jury.” As
we noted
[[link removed]] at
the time, District Attorney Fani Willis vowed not to appeal, which is
a pretty good indication that nothing in the proposed sections would
disturb her ongoing investigation in the least.

But the excerpt
[[link removed]] released
today still contained some tantalizing hints at “recommendations on
indictments and relevant statutes.” In fact, the jurors seem so hot
to indict wrongdoers that they offer an explicit endorsement of any
further crimes the District Attorney might wish to charge in
connection with their investigation.

“If this report fails to include any potential violations of
referenced statutes that were shown in the investigation, we
acknowledge the discretion of the District Attorney to seek
indictments where she finds sufficient cause,” they write.

The jurors also made clear that they found some of the witnesses less
than fully credible, and they were pretty steamed about it.

“A majority of the Grand Jury believes that perjury may have been
committed by one or more witnesses testifying before it,” they
wrote. “The Grand Jury recommends that the District Attorney seek
appropriate indictments for such crimes where the evidence is
compelling.”

But most importantly, the panel put to rest any legitimate doubt that
the outcome of the election in Georgia was fair.

The Grand Jury heard extensive testimony on the subject of alleged
election fraud from poll workers, investigators, technical experts,
and State of Georgia employees and officials, as well as from persons
still claiming that such fraud took place. We find by unanimous vote
that no widespread fraud took place in the Georgia 2020 presidential
election that could result in overturning that election.

Not that it changed many minds among the MAGA faithful. Donald Trump
immediately vomited out some nonsense
[[link removed]] about
his “two perfect phone calls regarding election integrity in
Georgia,” and noted that his name didn’t even appear in the
“long awaited important sections of the Georgia report.” But then,
perhaps remembering Bill Barr’s jujitsu pre-publication spinning of
the Mueller Report, Trump raced out another official statement.

Thank you to the Special Grand Jury in the Great State of Georgia for
your Patriotism & Courage. Total exoneration. The USA is very proud of
you!!!

He’ll be back to screaming about stuffed ballot boxes inside 24
hours, of course. Let’s see how proud he is if and when those
recommended indictments drop, shall we?
