Wouldnt 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.
Delicious ... the media, enemy of we the people, will endanger the lives of the jurors if they acquit, so the President should take steps to protect them by removing the decision from their hands. An immediate pardon before the fact would do it!... And liberal fools will self identify by raging over it. A win win I’d say. America needs fumigating ...
