BREAKING: Judge in Manafort trial says he's received threats, won't reveal jurors' names over fears for their safety
Sigh. The judge DID receive threats, but that is not the gist of the story. Due to the judge previously receiving threats, he did not want to put the JURORS lives in danger by allowing their names to be released to the d#$% press. His mentioning of his own threats was an aside.
“Thudges”? A judge appointed but a democRAT admin?

Insofar as the sealed bench conference transcripts, those too will be released.
“The seal isn’t permanent. All will be available for public scrutiny and criticism.” - Judge Ellis

“I have the marshal’s protection. I don’t even go to the hotel alone. I won’t even reveal the name of the hotel.”

“I won’t reveal to you any of the threats [I have received] and I have no reason to believe that if [the jurors] had their names revealed, they wouldn’t be threatened. I don’t feel it’s right if I release their names.”

On the media request, Judge Ellis said he didn’t wish to reveal jurors names/addresses out of an abundance of caution. Judge Ellis has received threats, he told the courtroom. (1/3)

Judge T.S. Ellis III has declined a motion by WaPo, CNN and BuzzFeed to unseal jurors names. Nor will he release sealed transcripts from bench conferences. He has said he will order them released after the #ManafortTrial concludes.
About a year ago an armed suspect opened fire on a judge who was walking down the street in Steubenville, Ohio.
The judge was packing. He shot and killed the perp.
Were the jurors’s names in the Kate Steinle case ever released?
No. The judge ONLY mentioned he had been threatened nothing to do with the possible name releases.
The juror motion itself was filed by multiple news organizations – the Washington Post, New York Times, AP, CNN, NBC, Politico and BuzzFeed. They sought to unseal records in the case, including information about the jurors.
The Liberal Media are such POS that they would endanger the lives of the jurors in this case. The instant the Liberal Media received the names of the jurors, the names would be passed along to those who would be threatening the lives of the jurors and their families. We are in a cold civil war that is gradually moving toward turning hot.
Haha. If you can’t figure out that a coup is in process then you haven’t been paying attention.
What distinguishes you from other concern trolls?
“Mistrial?”
My wish is that the judge is so incensed by the Mueller crowd that he dismisses the case — with prejudice.
This is hardly news. “Death threats” are a dime a dozen this days. If you’re not getting ‘death threats’, you apparently don’t exist these days.
Hunt down all the people that are making threats and charge them. It’s a felony.
Let web platforms know if they do not get a hold of their platforms then they will be rained in.
If CNN encourages, then will be held accountable including going to prison.
Where A.G. Sessions to crack down on these lunatics?
Judges are now receiving death threats and under US Marshalls protection just for presiding fairly over a politically-charged trial
Let that sink in
Yes, the liberals are intent upon using every lie, hyped nothing-burger, deception and bombarded propaganda they can to unseat the President.
When that doesn’t work, they resort to violent mobs, jury tampering and other dirty tricks.
Do you work at the dial an argument call center?
The attack on our POTUS has never been about President Trump. Most of these people loved President Trump before he was in politics. It’s always been about America....
President Trump was the next Ronald Reagan Freepers, Conservatives and Partriots had been seaching for. He came in STEALTH. No one saw it. I love it! Haha!
Anyway, there is anti American beliefs and pro American beliefs. I’ve said this from day one. It’s always been a case against America.
We the people must protect the foundation of our Republic and the U.S. Constitution. These criminals are trying to bring America down.
That bridge was crossed by George W. Bush, protector of the Saudi royals.
Do you? Only repeated myself three times and you do not get it yet.
Dollars to donuts CNN already has 'em. Just waiting for opportune time to release publicly without legal jeopardy.
You’re still on duty? Take another call slick.
Lots of things changed, way back when.
Nonetheless, I’m trying to move on. :)
