Well, howdy there internet people, it's Beau again.
So today we are going to talk about Georgia
and the report now that it's been released
and what it means and the big question
from quite a few people, is it a nothing burger?
Ah, I mean, depends on how you quantify nothing burger,
I guess.
We didn't learn much beyond what we already knew.
new. That is true. There's not actually a whole lot of new information in it. If you have no idea
what I'm talking about, the special grand jury in Georgia that's looking into election interference
during the 2020 election and all of that stuff, portions of the special grand jury report were
were released to the public.
And there's not much there, but it didn't release the parts
that everybody was really looking for.
There are no names in it.
What really matters, there's two key pieces.
First is that the grand jury did determine
that there was no widespread voter fraud that
could have affected the outcome of the election
or anything like that.
That was a unanimous decision.
And a majority of that grand jury believes that there were people who lied under oath
and that the district attorney should seek charges.
Those are the two pieces.
There wasn't much there that we didn't already know and there wasn't a lot of extra language
to provide us any hints.
What we have to go on is the reasoning behind only releasing part of it.
The reason it was released the way it was, was to protect people's due process rights.
Meaning they don't want this information to go out before the people were actually
indicted and had the ability to counter whatever's there.
Releasing it too early could violate their due process.
That would only be a concern if people were going to be indicted.
The recommendations as far as indictments, that's not included in what was released.
So is it a nothing burger?
I mean, there's nothing really new there.
There's not a lot of new information.
But the context of it shows that it's moving forward.
I would also suggest if the grand jury feels that it was lied to, to the degree that they're
recommending the district attorney pursue charges, you have to wonder what they were
were lied to about, and what evidence made them certain that it was a lie, and
what the person lying was lying about, if they were. If what they were lying about
was criminal activity, that would kind of track. But again, we don't know that.
There wasn't a whole lot there, but at this point it's moving forward.
Charging decisions are imminent.
Again, I'm starting to believe a whole lot of people do not know what that word means
because this doesn't feel imminent to me.
It feels like it's been dragging on a while.
There are people who believe, there are two rumor mills.
One says the grand jury to actually indict will convene in March.
The other says it's already convened.
I have no idea which one of those is true, but that's where we're at.
And at this point, I don't expect any more information until the district attorney decides
to make it public.
There were some interesting lines about protecting the due process rights, particularly of those
who didn't testify before the grand jury.
And as far as I know, there's kind of only one person that that might be directed at.
And he used to be in the Oval Office.
But at this point, it's going to be all speculation until the district attorney decides to either
announce the intentions or comes back with an indictment or comes back and says, yeah,
we can't make it stick or they really didn't do anything wrong.
So at this point, all eyes are on her.
And I would imagine that there will start to be pressure to make a decision and make
it public pretty quickly.
Anyway, it's just a thought.
Y'all have a good day
