50 of 96 were abject Trump haters.

There is no impartial jury that can be seated for Don Trump.

EVERYONE has an opinion and would be lying if they said they didn’t, or have the IQ of a turnip.

Which is WHY this is never done.

Merchan said Monday the new motion was based on "a series of references, innuendos, and unsupported speculation."

"References" - his daughter worked for the Kamala Harris(Biden/Harris) campaign.

So they where basically going to bring up Class E felon E Jean Carol’s sexual assault claim? Is this case that weak…checks notes yes it is.

[taxcontrol]

Should be tossed on the statute of limitations alone.

This MUST STOP!!!!!! NY folks please help Trump…please make it stop!! It’s time to go on the OFFENSIVE!

[llevrok]

Not being a trial lawyer, but having been called for jury duty a few times, is 52% of the jury pool excused a typical number (regardless of what the case is)? It seems a quite high % to me

[Responsibility2nd]

The judge ... excused a man who said his child is getting married on June 8.

 

Yet indications are there that he won't allow Trump to attend his own son's high school graduation.

[lee martell]

That set of revolving doors leading to the court chamber must have been spinning like a top today.

[BushCountry]

When are Republican AGs going to start charging Obama (gun runner would be a good one) and Hillary (her global funds)? Republicans are cowards and will never fight back.

[R_Kangel]

.... They will only get publicity seekers as jurrors .....

[plain talk]

What about those who don’t raise their hand and lie thru their teeth that they can be unbiased against Trump?

[Lurker]

This entire thing is horrifying for the future of American jurisprudence. These leftist judges are doing permanent damage to our entire legal system.

And no one is doing a single damned thing to stop it.

I was called for jury duty. How is the missed? Because I said the state police should be writing tickets and not investing crimes. I blame them for my brother’s murder. Incompetent.

[Saintgermain]

Too bad that some of these jurors didn’t claim indifference and then vote in favor of Trump. I would not have hesitated for a split second. Cheating is a two way street.

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

These are the jurors who have admitted a bias before even being questioned. I would expect that many more will be excused once the lawyers have a chance to probe a little deeper.

The judge is obviously on the "Get Trump" team, but he'll have to know that the Trump team will be very alert to noting any reversible errors from the bench.

While there's little doubt that any conviction would be overturned on appeal, I'm not sure if that's a real concern to the prosecution or judge. They just want that first win.
