Andrew McCarthy said Emily Kohrs, the forewoman of a special Georgia grand jury looking into former President Trump, dealt 'a terrible blow' to prosecutors this week.
Emily Kohrs, the foreperson of the special Fulton County grand jury investigating alleged illegal meddling in the 2020 election, gave gleeful interviews to CNN and MSNBC that left some legal observers scratching their heads.
"This is a terrible thing. She basically flouted the secrecy rules of the grand jury. She flouted the judge's order, and she makes the whole enterprise down there in Georgia look like it's a, you know – Trump called it a kangaroo court," McCarthy said. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney previously ordered that any recommendations on who should, or should not, be prosecuted would remain secret – for now – to protect their due process rights. The special grand jury did not have the power to issue indictments, and it will ultimately be up toto decide whether to seek indictments from a regular grand jury.
"I think no matter what your political predisposition is, a jury forewoman who comes out to talk publicly and a high-profile case is a newsworthy event that they would believe they had to cover," McCarthy told Fox News Digital. Shortly after her interview with CNN's Kate Bolduan on Tuesday, her colleagues Anderson Cooper and Elie Honig "First of all, why this person is talking on TV, I do not understand," Cooper said."She's clearly enjoying herself. But, I mean, is this responsible? She was the foreperson of this grand jury!"
