A stray comment was posted to Facebook only a day before a jury convicted Donald Trump in a New York court last week in which the poster said his cousin was a juror on the Trump case and that a conviction was imminent. He thanked the court for their service.
Hmmm. Maybe it’s just a guess or hoax. No one would be tempted to leak from a Trump jury. /s

Wow, a person claiming to be the cousin of a juror posted the day before the conviction on the court’s Facebook page that Trump was getting convicted. If this is confirmed, the case would likely be a mistrial. Quite the Friday news dump! pic.twitter.com/ljMSmENgNx— Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) June 7, 2024
Kind of figured this would happen. Jury wasn’t sequestered and there were probably DNC aides offering them cash to convict.
I think Merchan declares mistrial without prejudice so he can pull trump in for another few months.
Merchan won’t declare a mistrial.
They could use this to wiggle out of this situation. Trump’s conviction turned broken glass voters into broken glass covered in battery acid voters.
Could it be that they see the writing on the wall and just want to save face? They all know Trump will win and they fear what will come next.
They got what they wanted and now the POS is getting cold! CONGRESS BETTER GET THEIR CHIT TOGETHER AND CONVICT THIS MKER CORRUPT COLUMBIA IMMIGRANT BASTARD!!! He was in it up to his effin eyeballs!! Funny how these corrupt bombshell are always dropped close to the weekend.
😂
The leak was not FROM the jury, it was addressed TO the prosecution by the judge. In anywhere but in this bizarro universe, this would be grounds for immediate dismissal of the verdict and really substantial sanctions on Judge Juan Merchan, including dismissal from office and disbarment, and much closer examination of the means by which both judge selection and jury selection are carried out in this judicial district. The sanctions could conceivably be applied to DA BRAGG(ART) and MATTHEW COLANGELO, representing the DOJ directly at the trial, neither of whom it maybe said they are “fair-minded and unbiased”.
Not so sure. A few questions; who brought it to Marchan’s attention and is the author of the comment actually related. If yes to the latter it could open the door to a mistrial
He has to do something. The notification came from the NY supreme Court, so essentially the bosses are telling Merchan he has a poisoned jury. If he doesn’t do something, the bosses will.
“A few questions; who brought it to Marchan’s attention and is the author of the comment actually related. If yes to the latter it could open the door to a mistrial”
Considering the way Merchan has bent over backwards to never give Trump the slightest break, I would bet $$ that some preliminary investigation into the relationship between the facebook poster and a juror has already been done and said relationship has been established.
Maybe the guy is lying.
Maybe the smiling juror blew it up. he acted kind of addled.
That’s a possibility, but it doesn’t look like it. I’m sure some investigation went on and if the two weren’t related, Merchan would have stated such. The fact he has to release an email about it was surely vexatious to him.
Strange. Facebook must be chock full of bots and idiots chiming in. FTR, I am not a member.
