Funny how the SILENCE coming from all the media whores on this issue are absolutely DEAFENING.
Every juror should be questioned under oath to start.
Which is a strong TELL that the Michael Anderson story has not been investigated by them nor "debunked." According to Russo, unless this jury tampering incident is resolved, there can be NO sentencing on July 11. Meanwhile the media is just hoping that Michael Anderson and his Facebook post will just go away.
And their cellphones checked.
Could also be why the gag order was kept in place. Trump and his lawyers have to know something.
“Every juror should be questioned under oath to start.”
Do you seriously think they would tell the truth, even under oath? Nobody would prosecute for perjury, and they know that for sure.
But the phone records, FB records, etc would show the lie if they did, and then there would be perjury charges. Or should be anyway. I suppose Bragg could refuse to charge but if that got out it would set him up for prosecutorial misconduct I would think.
Merchan should NEVER have let the jurors loose for a week. They should have been sequestered. I’ll bet half of them discussed the case among family or friends.
Yes. And the fault lies with Merchan for not sequestering them.
Notice that even this guy fails to properly identify that it was a post on the Unified Court System’s public Facebook page. That's important because, while still posted by a private individual, it was on a Facebook page of the court prosecuting Trump, so it couldn't just be evaded, overlooked or just dismissed.
The deafening silence is quite revealing to ne sure, but it still may not reflect a positive for Trump, as the court has already shown that they will go to any length to subvert due process for Trump.
Will they just jail Trump and let him stay there until its resolved? I've seen nothing that gives me hope they will do the right thing now, so I believe the answer to my question is yes that is exactly what they will do.
Prepare for the worst, and pray for the best.
“But the phone records, FB records, etc would show the lie if they did, and then there would be perjury charges.”
Of COURSE the lie(s) would be evident and provable. But there’s no way in hell charges or prosecution would occur — at least under the current regime. Every single day for years we’ve seen blatant crimes committed by RAT scofflaws, and they’re just fine.
I’m not a lawyer nor did I stay at Holiday Inn Express last night, but I agree, something is up.
The Trump team is way too quiet. Almost like they know they have a nuke to drop in the POS Judge’s lap on 11 July.
Then again I wouldn’t put it past the Dems to simply pencil whip a FAKE investigation and then passing it off as “officially” closing the issue.
The handling of this could mean life or death for many people.
In this particular case, though, Bragg refusing to charge jurors with perjury right after they voted the way he wanted them to in a court case... would seem to be conspiracy between the jurors and the prosecutor. “You give me the verdict I want and I will do you favors by not prosecuting your crimes...”
And Trump’s people could use a prosecutorial misconduct or conspiracy argument to appeal also, I would think.
Then again, I am not a lawyer so maybe my understanding is bunk. Hopefully a lawyer will chip in here.
Somehow there has to be a way to stop the corrupt Alvin Bragg and all the ways that have allowed NY to become a turd-world hellhole, judicially and criminally speaking.
ME: Hello, is anybody at the Washington Post working on the Michael Anderson story?
WAPO: Who?
ME: Michael Anderson. The person who posted on the Manhattan court's Facebook page on May 29 that his cousin who is a juror on the Trump trial said that the jury had already come in with a guilty verdict the day before that verdict was officially handed down.
WAPO: Sorry, the name still doesn't ring a bell.
ME: Anderson's name was all over the news just two weeks ago.
WAPO: And now it's not so if there is a story it has gone away.
ME: Only because the media won't cover it.
WAPO: All that counts is that Trump is a convicted felon.
ME: Officially no, not until the July 11 sentencing by Judge Juan Merchan and he can't sentence Trump until this jury tampering issue is resolved.
WAPO: So it will be resolved.
ME: Not if no investigation of this matter takes place. Aren't you interested in finding out what happened?
WAPO: This sounds like another attempt by Trump to subvert our Democracy.
(Phone goes dead.)
I agree. Totally. They want him jailed and murdered inside. But don’t they know if they jail Trump they only make him unbeatable? The verdict eroded their base and raised over 400 million for Trump. They know what jailing him will do and there is not time to discard his SS protection.
My thought, House Arrest. Keep him off the campaign trail but not in a prison facility per say. Then finalize the change of batter for the dementia besieged Biden.
NO sentencing UNTIL the jury tampering matter is investigated and resolved. Are they really going to PRETEND the matter was investigated without proof?
None of those things would matter with Soros people holding the powerful, decision-making positions. I know it sounds defeatist, but we have learned the facts of life in America now.
Well, I hope this is right but what I expect is that nothing at all will happen about this letter (except maybe at the appellate level) and the kangaroo court will continue on July 11th.
