The forewoman on the Georgia grand jury that could indict Donald Trump laughed and said he ‘kind of wanted’ to subpoena him just to get the chance to swear him in – on a bizarre media tour that is already causing headaches for prosecutors.
In just one of her multiple interviews about a usually shrouded process, forewoman Emily Kohrs told MSNBC why she personally wanted to hear from Trump.
‘I wanted to hear from the former president, but honestly, I wanted to subpoena the former president because I got to swear everybody in,’ she said. ‘And so I thought it would be really cool to get 60 seconds with President Trump, of me looking at him and be like, “Do you solemnly swear,” and me getting to swear him in,’ she continued.
She said she ‘kind of just thought that would be an awesome moment,’ smiling.

Lawyers to witnesses who have appeared before the grand jury, which gets to recommend charges, are already preparing to move to try to quash any indictments, based on her public statements.
Kohrs also gave comments to CNN about the nature of indictments that could be coming.
Fulton County DA Fani Willis has been probing conduct related the effort by Trump and his allies to overturn the results of the 2020 elections, including the former president’s infamous phone call with Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asking him to just ‘find 11,780 votes.’
‘Can you imagine doing this for eight months and not coming out with a whole list’ of recommended indictments, Kohrs told CNN. ‘It’s not a short list. It’s not.’
‘There may be some names on that list that you wouldn’t expect. But the big name that everyone keeps asking me about – I don’t think you will be shocked,’ she said – in comments that appeared to point to a possible indictment of Trump himself.
She also said in a later interview to the network that indictments could surpass a dozen.
‘I believe so. That’s probably a good assumption,’ she said.

Trump posted Wednesday calling the case ‘ridiculous’ case he called a ‘strictly political continuation of the greatest Witch Hunt of all time.’
‘Now you have an extremely energetic young woman, the (get this!) “foreperson” of the Racist D.A.’s Special Grand Jury, going around and doing a Media Tour revealing, incredibly, the Grand Jury’s inner workings & thoughts. This is not JUSTICE, this is an illegal Kangaroo Court. Atlanta is leading the Nation in Murd.
