Inside the Trump grand jury that probed election meddling
Emily Kohrs was between jobs when she suddenly found herself at the center of one of the nation’s most significant legal proceedings.

Now, think about it. Why would prosecutors cut immunity deals? Wouldn't it be to move up the ladder of power to the top rung? I think some people in Florida and in DC are sweating. We will see who is indicted.
ATLANTA (AP) — They were led down a staircase into a garage beneath a downtown Atlanta courthouse, where officers with big guns were waiting. From there, they were ushered into vans with heavily tinted windows and driven to their cars under police escort.
For Emily Kohrs, these were the moments last May when she realized she wasn’t participating in just any grand jury.
“That was the first indication that this was a big freaking deal,” Kohrs told The Associated Press.

When witnesses refused to answer almost every question, the lawyers would engage in what Kohrs came to think of as “show and tell.” The lawyers would show video of the person appearing on television or testifying before the U.S. House committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, periodically asking the witness to confirm certain things. Then the scratching of pens on paper could be heard as jurors tallied how many times the person invoked the Fifth Amendment.
At least one person who resisted answering questions became much more cooperative when prosecutors offered him immunity in front of the jurors, Kohrs said. Other witnesses came in with immunity deals already in place.
Trump’s attorneys have said he was never asked to testify. Kohrs said the grand jury wanted to hear from the former president but didn’t have any real expectation that he would offer meaningful testimony.
“Trump was not a battle we picked to fight,” she said.
It wouldn't surprise me if she was on meth or some other amphetamine during that interview. The jury recommended indictments for perjury because they "believed" lies were told. No proof, mind you, just suspicion. I doubt he'll be indicted in GA. They'll wait awhile and indict him in DC so they are assured of a slam dunk conviction.
