One of the anons’ messages I read today said something about the texts not released are because of being used as evidence in a grand jury, or something to that effect. Someone correct me if I’m wrong!
Its certainly possible thats the case. I spent a year as the foreman of a criminal grand jury in California and evidence we were considering was confidential until the indictments were signed by me and handed to the judge if we did not decide to seal them until arrests could be made. That would include providing such evidence to anyone at all outside of Law enforcement because Grand Juries are Constitutional creations, not subject to the executive or the legislature or even the Judicial Branch. . . although weve allowed ALL three to ignore that distinction.
In fact my Grand Jury was the first criminal Grand jury called in twenty-five years in the entire state of California! The state had gotten off onto the idea of using preliminary hearings to bring indictments, which is unconstitutional on its face, instead of going the Constitutional way of Grand Jury indictments. A Federal Lawsuit required that Grand Juries be reinstated in California, but the wishy-washy Federal District judge made its use optional at the DAs choice. Theyve returned to that preliminary hearing practice again. Liberals LIKE Judicial power.
