| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Law enforcement officials are investigating threats targeting members of the grand jury that indicted former President Donald Trump and 18 of his allies, after names and addresses of jurors were leaked online, a sheriff's office said. The Fulton County Sheriff's Office said: 'Our investigators are working closely with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to track down the origin of threats in Fulton County and other jurisdictions.' It comes after several users on Trump’s social media platform Truth Social posted the names and addresses of the court's jurors, according to The Independent. Posts were also found with violent rhetoric against Fani Willis, the Fulton County district attorney, who oversaw the more-than-two-year investigation of a suspected scheme by Trump and 18 others to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Advance Democracy president Dan Jones, whose organisation uncovered some of the leaks, said: 'Statements by Trump and his allies continue to inspire violent language and threats online. An indictment in Georgia that is available as a public record includes the names of grand jurors but not their addresses or any other personally identifiable information. Reports by Advance Democracy, which conducts public interest investigations, this week found posts by users on at least four social media websites targeting the grand jurors that 'often included violent rhetoric.' So they're a Democrat hack front Related: Fulton County: 2023-08-16 Fulton County Sheriff's Promise for Donald Trump: ‘We'll Have a Mugshot Ready for You' Fulton County: 2023-08-15 Fulton County Court Publishes, Then Deletes, Indictment against Trump in 2020 Election Case Fulton County: 2023-08-10 GOP: J6 Committee Failed to Preserve Records, Has Nothing on Capitol Hill Security Failures |

| #10 False flag would be my guess after years of observing how these people operate. Leaking those names is the exact kind of thing donks would do and so they would do it and then try to make it look like those dastardly MAGA people did it. We've seen this picture before. |

| #6 Hmmm, attempting to elevate comments that didn't violate any TOU agreement to that of a crime. Fokkin posers. |

| #5 Seems fair with the government leaking bullshit about the GOP and supporters while locking them up. I wouldn't cry one tear if one of these morons slipped on chair and fell into a pool. |

| #4 For the most part, Trump voters look past grand jury members because the system is ridiculously rigged nationwide. |

| #3 Good work! Now whatever you do, don't investigate the government employee who leaked those names. |

| #2 Look at this idiot Emily Kohrs, Grand Jury "foreperson" who did the whole media tour. Some secrecy, huh? It’s a marvel of the American judicial system that Emily Kohrs, a 30-year-old woman who has described herself as between customer service jobs and who said she didn’t vote in the 2020 presidential election, could play a pivotal role in the potential indictment of a former US president Kohrs is cagily answering questions, teasing that the special grand jury may have recommended charges for Trump and saying she hopes something comes of it all. Her identity as the foreperson was first revealed by The Associated Press, and in addition to the AP, she has, in short order, done interviews with The New York Times, NBC News, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and CNN. The former US Attorney Harry Litman said on CNN on Wednesday that prosecutors have got to be “consternated” that a potential jury pool could be contaminated by Kohrs’ “odd 15-minute PR tour.” |
