I don’t know what happened but I was cautiously optimistic about this, not wanting to get my hopes dashed. If it is too good to be true....
Merchan is probably drafting the mistrial papers and schedule Trump’s retrial for July & August.
Poster claimed he was “kidding” so it’s all forgotten
Besides that, if they don't talk about it, who will notice?
I’m sure it’s being investigated but unless you get proof that it really happened, it’s unlikely to cause a mistrial.
The person behind the post labeled himself on the social media platform as a “professional s__t poster,” and Merchan did not appear to give any credibility to the post.
“My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted. Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!!” the post read.
- - do a search for Michael Anderson Facebook Trump jury
One angle is it was an attempt to bring him back in for retrial to reinstate gag order, re try. Tie him up.
Whatever it was anyone who thinks it was any attempt for this court in this 95% dem district to be fair to Trum or his hundreds of millions of constituents and also supporters is wrong
Wrongo.
Congratulations, you have been gaslighted. 👏
Not much faith in Trump’s legal team.
One look at the person who made the most and it was obvious it was a hoax not sure why the ny Supreme Court got so easily fooled took people five minutes to see something wasn’t right
Anyone could have made that post. It could be a hoax, merely an idiotic prank, by someone sympathetic to either side of the case. The jurors should definitely be investigated for any relationship to the poster, assuming s/he can be identified, and if such a relationship exists, it would seem to be prima facie evidence for a mistrial.
I have no first hand knowledge on this, but I can speculate.
My belief is that right now the best attorneys that the DNC can buy are working overtime on multiple compelling arguments that will allow the judge to document why this does not rise to the level of a necessary mistrial. Furthermore, you will not hear anything, until that documentation is absolutely bullet proof and turned over by the DNC to the kangaroo court judge.
I did some searching and Saturday is the last time any MSM mentioned the story.
HMMMMMM….Funny how it disappeared in A flash! Anything positive or good for Trump gets dismissed lickety-split but if it’s bad, then they continue the narrative until people are choking on it. I say that it did happen, but they’re trying to sweep it under the rug. No judge would be this incredible stupid to forward this bombshell information to the opposite team without verification ….that would be in itself a mistrial of judgment and justice. I think it really happened but they’re trying to hide the truth.
Can I propose an alternate conspiracy theory?
The NY State Supreme court looked at the whole trial and the backlash and basically came to the conclusion that this who effort was a mistake and needs to go away.
So they put together an easy “out” via the mistrial path. IOW, get rid of this before we have to rule against the judge.
Some idiot who craves attention
The story is more gaslighting if anything
If true, it would be grounds for a mistrial that even Merchan couldn’t decline. So it has to have been more to the story.
I think Merchan did this, only so that he & the rest of the Progressive Elite can point to this one action and say, “See? See? He was even-handed / unbiased / not showing favoritism to one side or the other”.
