Imagine there were 50-50 odds that you would just been chosen as one of the people who will decide

whether or not to criminally indict Donald Trump. That may very well be the case for the grand

jurors who were just seated in Fulton County, Georgia. Today about 100 Georgians showed up at the

remotely from July 31st to August 18th and that she is requesting Fulton County judges to not

schedule in-person hearings during that time. The idea with that seems to be keep the amount of people
