Sound like suspicion of tempering jurors
Enough of this evil Sh*t Show. Shut it down.
so they can destroy them ?
Wouldn’t it be delicious if Trump issued a pardon before the verdict and used this motion by these bloodthirsty media outlets as his reason?.
He could issue a statement that he “did it to protect the lives of the jurors from a bloodthirsty media bent on destroying the lives of innocent jurors who might find Manifort not guilty”.
If the judge releases those names, he will open the jurors - and their families/friends - to relentless politics of personal destruction, harassment, and danger.
There are just some things the media does not NEED TO KNOW. The only thing they need to know about the jury is whether they deliver “guilty”, or “not guilty” in the courtroom.
That’s it.
Jurors are damn fortunate to have Judge T.S. Ellis III, because he will protect them.
No way will he release their names to the vultures
.
The #FakeNews press is trying to intimidate the jurors.
Sounds like enemies of the people to me.
A real justice system would smack these on jury-tampering charges. But we don’t have that anymore.

“A thirsty press is essential to a free county,”
It seems to me an honest and impartial press might also be part of that requirement.
It is unheard of to release the names and addresses of Jurors
BEFORE verdicts are rendered.
CNN knew the judge would not allow this.
But CNN also knows that word will get back
to jurors about their request, as these jurors
are not sequestered and go home every night.
CNN and other fake news are trying to intimidate
the jurors into rendering guilty verdicts.
Vote guilty or else.
Jury tampering.
These ‘columnists’ are of the Fifth variety.
And what are they going to do with those Juror’s names? Send them flowers? This borders on criminal, if it’s not already.
why would they ask this?
This media gang got nervous when they saw the jury was asking about reasonable doubt.
Naked attempt to disrupt the case.
That should really encourage people to do jury duty (exreme sarcasm).

Sounds like the liberal media are scared.
So the liberal media have resorted to jury-tampering via veiled threats.
Got it.
Am I expecting October Surprise by Democrats? You bet I am.
Perhaps it’s just tinfoil. Let’s see if I’m wrong. It would be better if I was. But I don’t trust the Democrats. Maybe that’s just me.
Of course, you’d have to purge any dissenting voices, i.e. those that support the President, from social media, like Facebook (gag), Twitter (only one worth reading is the President, most of the time - and this Benghazi hero now), Youtube purge, etc.
But of course THAT kind of purge and restricted free speech would never happen in America......
Why else would they want the names except to intimidate them.
I’m not a lawyer, but it seems that this could be grounds for a mistrial. If jurors find out - before the verdict is in - that they could face harassment or death threats for the “wrong” verdict, this judge might say “enough.”
