willing to keep him in office by undermining the U.S. Constitution.
Willis requested this special purpose grand jury in January 2022, had them sworn in four months later, and started presenting evidence in June. The secretive group completed their final report in December. In his ruling, the judge said they heard from “dozens of witnesses” about what the DA had described as “the facts and circumstances relating directly or indirectly to possible attempts to disrupt the lawful administration of the 2020 elections in the state of Georgia.
In his order, the judge didn’t exactly side with news organizations seeking details about the ongoing investigation. He said that under Georgia’s unique rules about special purpose grand juries, this report isn’t itself an indictment or technically a “court record.” “The process was essentially an investigative tool designed to enable the District Attorney to gather more information about what actually happened in the days following the general election in Fulton County so that she could make a more informed decision on whether Georgia law was violated and whether anyone should be charged for doing so,” he wrote.
“The final report, as the District Attorney argued, was ultimately destined for her, not the court,” he added. “It will inform her investigative decision-making process, not the court’s.”
