Exchange of the Day

Anderson Cooper and Elie Honig discussed the multiple awkward media appearances by the forewoman of the grand jury that may reportedly suggest indictments in a case involving Donald Trump:

COOPER: First of all why this particular person is speaking on TV, I don’t perceive. As a result of, she’s clearly having fun with herself, however I imply, is that this accountable? She was the foreperson of this grand jury!

HONIG: This can be a horrible concept And I assure you that prosecutors are wincing, watching her go on this…

COOPER: I used to be wincing simply watching her eagerness to love, trace at stuff.

HONIG: It’s painful in that respect. That’s a really severe prospect right here. We’re speaking about – indicting any particular person, you’re speaking about doubtlessly taking away that particular person’s liberty – we’re speaking about doubtlessly former president for the first time on this nation of historical past. She doesn’t appear to be taking that very severely.

COOPER: There’s no cause for her to be out speaking.

HONIG: No. It’s a prosecutor’s nightmare. Mark my phrases, Donald Trump’s workforce goes to make a movement if there’s an indictment to dismiss that indictment base on grand jury impropriety. She’s not presupposed to be speaking about something, actually. However she’s actually not presupposed to be speaking about the deliberations. She’s speaking about what particular witnesses they noticed, what the grand jury thought of them. She says some of them we discovered credible, some we discovered humorous. I don’t know why that’s related, however she’s been saying we discovered this man humorous or attention-grabbing. I feel she’s doubtlessly crossing a line right here. It’s gonna be an actual drawback for prosecutors.
