Judge McBurney, Former Prosecutor Glenn Kirshner, rebuke media histrionics regarding Emily Khors

Former prosecutor (of 30 years in Washington DC) Glenn Kirshner explains why the right wing media's collective conniption regarding GA grand jury foreperson Emily Khors is nonsense. She was instructed not to talk about 'deliberations' and he quotes Judge McBurney who, in an interview, explains what that is, specifically. And it wasn't what I thought it was. I thought 'deliberations' meant their verdicts and how they arrived at them, but it doesn't mean their verdicts at all, as it turns out, according to McBurney.

"...nor are they prohibited from talking about the fruit of their deliberations" Judge McBurney

"To all of the Trump loyalists, lackeys and sycophants, why don't you just drag your fainting couch back into the closet because Emily Khors did nothing wrong" Glenn Kirshner



In a Wednesday interview, Judge McBurney said he met with the special grand jurors at the end of their service to explain what they may legally discuss with anyone, not just the news media.

“They cannot discuss their deliberations,” McBurney said, alluding to the instructions he gave members of the grand jury about discussing their work with the media and others.

“So the question becomes what deliberations are, and I explained that would be the discussions they had amongst themselves when it was just the grand jurors in the room … when they were discussing what do we do with what we’ve learned,” he continued.

According to the report, McBurney said the grand jurors can talk about what transpired if a prosecutor or witness was in the grand jury room.

But if an assistant DA or a witness is in the grand jury room, they can talk about what happened then, the judge said. ”That’s not deliberations,” he said. “That’s presentation. And they’re not prohibited from talking about that, nor are they prohibited from talking about the fruit of their deliberations, which would be the final report.” In speaking to The AJC on Wednesday, McBurney noted it is OK for judges to discuss legal procedure.

“By all appearances, the special purpose grand jury did its work by the book...." McBurney wrote at the time.
