Expects indictments....

Former US attorney says he expects indictments to follow Fulton County report's release

From CNN

Michael Moore, the former US attorney for the Middle District of Georgia, said he expects indictments to follow the partial release of a report from a special grand jury that investigated Donald Trump’s actions after the 2020 election in the state.

A judge in Fulton County, Georgia, made portions of the report public Thursday.

"I don't think there's any question that we're going to see indictments come out of investigation," Moore said on CNN's At this Hour with Kate Bolduan.

"The (District Attorney) wouldn't have had the time and treasure invested into the case, to be at this place," and not have indictments, he continued.

Moore said the question he's most interested to watch is whether or not Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis will pursue perjury charges for some of the witnesses questioned in the case, which he said "may be tougher."

Moore said he's also watching for "how broad the net will be," explaining that Willis faces a decision about whether to indict a few key targets or to be more sweeping in her actions.

Either way, the district attorney will have to be able to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt, and if she gains a conviction, support it on appeal.

"She's weighing those things out at the same time," Moore said.

The former US attorney noted that it seems possible indictments will come "in relatively short order," based on Willis' previous comments.
