As we have learned from the treatment of the J6 political prisoners, the judges are the most corrupt and partisan of all.
In DC Trump faces both an ideological judge and ideological jury pool. Dems claim that Voir Dire will compensate, but the defense has a limited number of strikes, and in fact the defense lawyers can’t read minds. Roger Stone got a DC jury forema’am that had posted anti-Trump stuff on social media when she had lived outside of DC.
