‘No Reason For Her To Be Talking’: CNN Host, Legal Analyst Shocked To Hear Georgia Grand Juror’s Media Blitz Testimony

CNN’s Anderson Cooper was visibly stunned Tuesday night as he reacted to the foreperson of the grand jury that was investigating former President Donald Trump in Georgia.

Foreperson Emily Kohrs went on a media blitz to discuss the deliberations of the grand jury, which was looking into Trump’s alleged attempt to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.

When Kohrs was asked on CNN whether she recommends charges against Trump, she said she didn’t “want to share something that a judge made a conscious decision not to share.”

“We definitely discussed him a lot in the room,” Kohrs added. “And I will say that when this list comes out you wouldn’t – there are no major plot twists waiting for you.”

Cooper then jumped in, asking why Kohrs would be talking about this on television.

“I do not understand, she’s clearly enjoying herself, is this responsible? She was the foreperson of this grand jury.”

“I guarantee you that prosecutors are wincing watching her go on this,” CNN legal analyst Elie Honig said.

“I was wincing just watching her eagerness to like hint at stuff,” Cooper chimed in.

“It’s painful in that respect,” Honig said. “This is a very serious prospect here, we’re talking about, indicting any person, you’re talking about potentially taking away that person’s liberty. We’re talking about potentially a former president for the first time in this nation’s history, she does not seem to be taking that seriously.”

“There’s no reason for her to be talking,” Cooper said. (RELATED: WaPo Issues Lengthy Correction After Completely Misquoting Trump In Story About Phone Call With Georgia Investigator)

“It’s a prosecutor’s nightmare,” Honig said. “Mark my words, Donald Trump’s team is going to make a motion if there’s an indictment to dismiss that indictment based on grand jury impropriety, she’s not supposed to be talking about anything really, but she’s not supposed to be talking about the deliberations. She’s talking about what specific witnesses they saw, what the grand jury thought of them. She said some of them we found credible, some of them we found funny. I don’t know why that’s relevant but she’s been saying we found this guy funny or interesting. I think she’s potentially crossing a line here that will be a problem for prosecutors.”

Cooper then played a clip from Kohrs in which she said that Mark Meadows, Trump’s former Chief of Staff, “didn’t share very much.”

“OK, again, I’m shocked,” Cooper said.

“Grand jury testimony is supposed to be secret, the only people in that room who get to be in that room are the grand jurors, like we just saw, prosecutors and witnesses, and here she’s talking about the substance of Mark Meadows testimony and she has talked in other outlets about the substance of other people’s testimony and what the grand jurors made of this.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
