CNN Just Sued The Government To Get The Names And Addresses Of Manafort Jurors

The media request for the names and home addresses of jurors comes a day after the jury began deliberating about the verdicts on 18 fraud and conspiracy counts against Manafort.

If these jurors knew what is going on they would come back with a NG just for spite

[donna]

Anyone want to serve on a jury if CNN gets your name?

[SaveFerris]

Jury tampering via Democrat CNN.

[Major Matt Mason]

It also comes right after the jury inquired about "reasonable doubt". Definite intimidation tactic by the usual suspects.

[hsmomx3]

I can just see CNN stalking and following these people home today.

[loveliberty2]

How typical of the Progressive mentality.

[Fred Hayek]

Jury tampering. Charge the boards of directors of CNN, Comcast, NYT with felony jury tampering.

[miss marmelstein]

And a day after some people on television - stupidly - implied that the jurors were going for an acquittal.

This is appalling; we’ll end up with no one doing jury duty which is probably what they are aiming for, long-term.

Every institution around us is collapsing.

[CatOwner]

CNN wins both ways. If not guilty, they will try to track down the jurors to make their lives a living hell. If guilty, it will embolden them to repeat this in the future.

[SERKIT]

FOX and others have been repeating that Manafort will face a second trial in Wash DC after this one is over, but they never explain the second case. What is he being charged with in addition to the sham trial he's in now?

[pepsi_junkie]

CNN = enemy of the people

[bigbob]

Since these people are supposed to put Manafort away for life and bring down Trump, why would they want to threaten the jurors with doxxing this way?

Is someone nervous?

[vigilence]

This is a blatant attempt to intimidate the jury. The threat to publicize their identities will make the jurors think twice about voting not guilty and risk national ridicule by news organizations that so obviously want a guilty verdict.

The Judge should release the names when CNN publishes the names, addresses, phone numbers, children’s schools of their reporters. The publication should be in both English and Arabic.

[JohnBovenmyer]

The motion is contemptible, I’d hope in two meanings of that word! The clients making the request and their paid hit attorneys, who should know better but still filed it, deserve to be thrown in jail by the judge, for contempt of his court, for the duration of the jury deliberation, at least. Then institute disbarment proceedings on the attorneys. Anything less would be insufficient IMHO. After the deliberation the judge, with all due discretion, may consider such request.

[Wiser now]

You are exactly right. This is jury intimidation; an attempt to frighten them into rendering a guilty verdict.
The judge has refused to reveal their identities, and he has received death threats.
Yes, the Democrats are terrified.

[Beowulf9]

Threats and harassment.

[Raycpa]

Obstruction of justice!

[murron]

All leftist organizations. First release the names and addresses of all their reporters.
