Just discussed the Fulton County grand juror’s publicity tour with @andersoncooper.

1) It is entirely clear the grand jury has recommended a Trump indictment; and

2) The grand juror is doing no favors to prosecutors with this giddy PR romp.
It’s a bad idea generally for a grand juror to speak publicly. The specific legal line in GA is whether the grand juror discloses “deliberations.” That’s debatable. She doesn’t discuss vote counts. But she does discuss specific witnesses and the grand jury’s findings as to them.
If and when there is an indictment, this will become a motion to dismiss, mark my words. It may not succeed - it’s a high bar legally - but she is causing a needless headache for prosecutors, at a minimum.

Some folks have asked if I read my own audiobook for #Untouchable.

I do. While I’m not a professional voiceover guy, I think it’s more authentic. (As does @MarkHamill, who sent a wonderful tweet last time encouraging me to read my own book; I’ll take that advice any day.)
Also I tell lots of first-person stories from my time as a prosecutor. They wouldn’t sound right coming from somebody else.
I write with a certain voice (stylistically, that is), so might as well accompany it with my actual voice. As my audiobook producer said when we were done recording: “Well, YOU definitely wrote this book.”

Here we go! My new book – “Untouchable: How Powerful People Get Away With It” – publishes today.

The idea for this book came from all of you. My editor asked, “What’s the question you get asked most often?” The answer has now become this book.

I’ve got stories from my time as a prosecutor, analysis of major recent cases, historical dives and revelations, and first-time scoops from inside the Justice Department and the SDNY, including this one:

It took genuine courage for Cassidy Hutchinson to break free of her original lawyer, who was selected and paid for by Trump-affiliated entities and who, she testified, tried to prevent her from cooperating fully against Trump. (Thread)
2. The original lawyer told her, “We just want you to focus on protecting the president” and to say she “did not recall” events that she actually did recall. As I’ve said on air, this crosses the line from a murky gray area into obstruction, if established by the evidence.
3. It eventually became clear to Hutchinson that the lawyer did not represent her personal interests first and foremost, as any lawyer is bound to do. The lawyer also became an obstacle against Hutchinson coming fully clean and cooperating fully and truthfully.

Of course, Trump’s announcement has no legal bearing and doesn’t formally insulate him from anything.

But DOJ and the Fulton County DA have now been beaten to the punch by Trump’s announcement, and those prosecutors have made their own jobs more difficult by their delay. (1/8)
Prosecutors - DOJ and locals alike - have dragged their feet and played paddy-cake for nearly two years now, on both January 6 and Mar-A-Lago (the search was just in August, but DOJ has known about the missing docs for far longer). (2/8)
Now, if Trump gets indicted - and that could well happen - it becomes substantially more difficult to actually convict him. (And an indictment without a conviction would be a prosecutorial disaster). (3/8)

With Bill Barr now making daily pronouncements about what should happen in our criminal justice system, it's worth reflecting on who the man truly is, and what he actually did during two years as AG under Trump. Running through the chapters of my book. (THREAD)
1. Barr has been AG twice (once in the early 90s, under G.H.W. Bush) but he has *never* tried a case in court. He is a DC-based political operator, but never a real courtroom prosecutor.
2. Months *before* he became AG under Trump, Barr wrote an unsolicited audition letter and sent it to the Trump administration, concluding that the Mueller obstruction investigation was "fatally misconceived." He also told the media Mueller's theory was "asinine." He got the gig.
