Three sections of a special grand jury's report into possible criminal election interference by former President Donald Trump and others will be published Thursday, including concerns about witnesses lying under oath, a Georgia judge ruled Monday.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert C.I. McBurney said in his order that the report's introduction and conclusion will also be published, despite a request from the district attorney leading the investigation for the document to remain under wraps.
Judge McBurney, who considered arguments about the report's publication in late January, agreed to an extent with a coalition of media companies, which claimed the profound public interest in the report justified its release.
"While publication may not be convenient for the pacing of the district attorney's investigation, the compelling public interest in these proceedings and the unquestionable value and importance of transparency require [certain parts'] release," Judge McBurney said. "These three portions include the introduction and conclusion to the final report, as well as section VIII, in which the special purpose grand jury discusses its concern that some witnesses may have lied under oath during their testimony to the grand jury."

(((YAWN))) What took so long? Couldn’t find anything?

NEVER confuse the Legal System with Justice.
As usual they do somthing to Trump that they never do to anyone else
Afraid the truth will hamper their hate campaign.
Grand jury? Isn’t that one of those thingies where the defendant doesn’t get to defend?
The JUST US DEMOCRAT SYSTEM is TOTALLY CORRUPT!
The next distraction....when they run out of balloons.
IOW, make sure the bad stuff comes out first?
EXACTLY
When you know you can’t make a charge stick,release parts of the investigation before they go to trial...
This means there are no findings of actual wrongdoing yet there are implications that orange man is bad anyway.
Willis told the judge that the releasing the report in its entirety may violate the rights of anyone who may be indicted (defendants would not get a fair trial).
Of course, if anyone IS indicted based on the report, prosecution will have to, by law, share the full report with defendants and their attorneys.
Grand juries are never formed to write reports, they’re formed to indict criminals. If a witness lies, they indict the witness, too. This story simply tells us that they simply have no evidence to indict either the target or the witnesses.
