A fringe website featured the purported names and addresses of the Fulton County grand jury that indicted Trump and 18 other people for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Serious question... How hard was it to find this information before it was posted as a resource? They released the names of the grand jurors in the indictment so I can imagine a quick Google search of the name would produce whatever information the user wanted.

It was taken from something that required an active search to something you could passively learn was available to you.

Much as has happened to almost all of us. Thats not nothing.

It probably wasn't too hard to find, but this is still creepy and unhinged. It's like threatening someone by saying "I know where you live!" You never know what kind of people might see the info who otherwise wouldn't have.
