Trump Supporters Reveal Jurors Names and Addresses
A Telegraph article says that Trump supporters have revealed the names and addresses of the Georgia grand jury that indicted him. That is scurrilous behavior, though I would make one exception. At one point in the proceedings, the jury foreperson went public and talked about her fantasizing swearing Trump in. If a juror chooses not to be anonymous, then so be it.
But this shows how many norms are being broken over the out-of-control prosecutors who are obviously politically motivated, using laws to indict Trump that they weren’t designed to do.
There are precautions the government can take to hide the identity of jurors. It’s been done before in organized crime and terrorist trials and they can be done in the case of Trump.
Yet, while the jurors in the Derek Chauvin case had their identities hidden, the fear that their names would be revealed if they found Chauvin innocent was present, and I have no doubt that that influenced their decision. It would have ruined their lives. Even if it were a hung jury resulting in a mistrial, the jurors would have been in danger.
Things are getting uglier. It’s going to get worse.

Bad headline and you fell for it.
You probably don’t even know how duped you were and just pass it along.
It was pretty obvious in the article since the mentioned “Trump supporters” 3x by the first paragraph.
Can you figure it out now?
Sadly we have come to a time that I have no intention of ever being a juror. It is not just Trump but with BLM and the current set of the world. If forced about the only thing I could do is whatever let me get through it with least amount of pain.
Being a juror is OK on a nobody case, but it is crazy to be a juror with a high-profile case. What kind of person would not opt out? And, you can always opt out.
The truth is the ditzy DA was in such a hurry to get the indictment out that they screwed up twice. First, they prepared it before the grand jury delivered the pre-ordained verdict and posted then deleted it then lied about it. Next, they rushed the same indictment out once the verdict was in. They rushed it out so quickly they forgot to mark out the jurors’ names. Yep, the Democrat clown show screwed up and released the jurors’ names. Trump’s team will use it to argue his due process was tainted..
Always assume the Press is biased for the Left in everything they write (and don’t write). Then if there is an exception you can be pleasantly surprised.
The names were included with the publicly released indictment. There seem to be differing reports as to whether that was an error on the part of the DA’s office or if that is standard practice in Georgia.
You just said a crazy person.
The short article says that Fulton County published the names. There is your problem.
Judging from their lies, I assume they screwed up.
The grand jury members’ names were published by Ms. Willis’s office (or another clerk error), I believe, and later unpublished.
Is unpublished like unsaying?
Not exactly. The problem is … Who? Trump supporters. It was Trump supporters! Those bad people!
And it remains in the headline here.
It’s like saying “Eagles fans threw snowballs at Santa Clause” Not Six Drunks at Veteran’s Stadium Threw Snowballs
I hope that helps.
Can you explain what happened or link to an article with accurate information?
If anyone leaked information regarding the identity of jurors that is reprehensible.
I don’t understand. I don’t think you understood what I was saying either. It’s a mystery…
The names of grand jurors are included in criminal indictments in the State of Georgia.
From an AP Report:
The names are available, that does not mean their addresses are available. Doxing addresses is a dicey business whether it is the media, prosecutor, or a supporter of the accused that has been indicted. I don’t recommend becoming a person of interest if your IP address involves revealing the addresses of Grand Jury members, if something happens to a member of the Grand Jury you might have to hire your own attorney.
Don’t need to. Several posted the indictment on twitter and commented at the time.
Wouldn’t be too hard to find. All you need is a Fulton County phone book. I don’t think “doxing” is an accurate term.
Have you checked to see if the people in Fulton County list their phone numbers in a phone book?
Just Google a name and see what you get.
I googled Alexander Hamilton and got a whole bunch of stuff. But it didn’t tell me if the people in Fulton County list their numbers in a phone book, nor if the people on the grand jury do so.
If someone’s address is recorded publicly, then sure – anyone so motivated can go look it up in the phone book.
What should we think of the motivation of someone who looks up a juror’s address and publishes it? That’s different in many ways from simply living with the fact of the public record.
I also googled for my own phone number. No luck. I found my name is associated with some old landline numbers that we discontinued years ago, but not the phone number that I’ve used for the last 13 years.
It can’t be that hard to do since it popped up so quickly. You know who is good at that? Lefties.
It is really hard to figure out how one thing follows from another in what you’re saying. Maybe I should quit guessing and give up on it.
This seems to suggest Trump’s defense team is allowed to investigate the grand jury jurors and just publishing the names makes certain information readily available. Doxing is largely about revealing that which is hidden, regardless of how well. A man going by a pseudonym but isn’t using a vpn should not have his identity revealed because it was clearly his intent to keep that hidden. Someone with their number or address unlisted is also trying to maintain privacy. It isn’t up to the public to break that for them.
If the names were provided and there was no law breaking in the retrieval of addresses, then this is just public information gathering and collating.
But this is public information. I’m not interested in adjudicating the reasons for the public collating if it, but anyone with half an interest is capable of making themselves the same list.
Doxing is usually retrieval of information that was intentionally made private, regardless of how well concealed it is.
Don’t post anything relating to UK……..it’s propaganda?
1. My comments after my bedtime can be hard to follow.
2. Apple pencil’s ability to translate my cursive into text is proof AI isn’t going to lord over us anytime soon.
3. The info appeared rather quickly after the DA exposed the names so it can’t be hard to find.
4. Doxing is a radical leftie pastime and they have had a lot of practice. Our side isn’t much into it. It is the left that wants its side to assault the doxed.
5. A false flag event by a leftie so they can paint Trump supporters as violent kooks wouldn’t surprise me.
AP Fact check:
CLAIM: Officials in Fulton County, Georgia, forgot to redact the names of the grand jurors who indicted former President Donald Trump this week in relation to his actions following the 2020 election.
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. It is standard that indictments in Georgia include the names of the grand jurors, in part because it provides defendants the opportunity to challenge the composition of the grand jury, legal experts told The Associated Press.
Interesting point, and lucky for Trump.
