IIRC, the grand jurors' names already are known (and public).

Presumably the jurors' other person information will remain under seal, but it is possible for it to get leaked. And then defense counsel could blame an unassociated "motivated" person discovered it on their own.

Haven't heard this one before.

Chesebro asks court to suppress use of emails in Trump Georgia election case

Attorneys for Kenneth Chesebro, a pro-Trump lawyer, argued the search warrant used to obtain emails from his MSN email account ahead of his indictment “is defective” and the search and seizure of the emails was “illegal.”

In their Fulton County Superior Court filing, Chesebro’s attorneys said Georgia rules only allow the use of search warrants where there is probable cause to believe that the evidence sought would otherwise be deleted.

But there was “no such concern” in this case, they argued, ”because months earlier Microsoft had archived all the e-mails in Fulton County Superior Court.”

Chesebro’s lawyers also argued they were not “contacted to schedule a hearing for review of the obtained documents in order to minimize review of documents falling outside the scope of the warrant,” and to make sure prosecutors would not see emails protected by attorney-client privilege.

Those two factors are “fatal to the search warrant,” they argued.

LAST MONTH, WHEN Donald Trump parted ways with “Billion Dollar Lawyer” Drew Findling as his lead criminal defense attorney in the Fulton County, Georgia, case, the decision was then met with surprise and dismay, including among some of Trump’s closest advisers and lawyers.

At first, the reasons behind the departure were opaque, with several high-ranking members of Team Trump asking one another why the ex-president would ditch someone who was internally viewed as perhaps Trump’s single most competent attorney. Findling was in the middle of leading the legal defense against the one prosecution that is likely the most perilous for Trump — and the lawyer was replaced just as the former president was about to have his historic mug shot taken in Georgia.

But as the dust settled, some of the reasons behind this shakeup became clearer. According to three sources with knowledge of the matter, the high-profile departure was largely driven by the same kind of power struggles that have long plagued Trump’s legal teams, even (or, especially) during times when Trump is trying his hardest to stay out of prison. Those problems only intensified when it became clear that Fulton County prosecutors were going to pursue a wide-ranging indictment of Trump and many of his confidants; it was the kind of nightmare scenario that Findling, well-known for his successful defenses of Cardi B and Offset, was hired to attempt to prevent.

In some states they can run at the state convention and maybe in 1 or 2 states can get voted to the slate in the primary, but this just means they get their names on the ballot in the general. They still have to win in the general election (on behalf of their candidate) before they can actually do anything to the electoral vote count.

Jurors shall be identified by number. No addresses or other personal info shall be disclosed.

No drawings or photos or videos of jurors/prospective jurors.

Yes, he could claim.

Proving with competent, credible evidence is altogether different.
