Anthony Cole, a former Department of Justice (DOJ) official, said on Sunday that former President Trump’s remarks about his possible looming arrest in New York was an attempt to “intimidate local prosecutors” and would “poison” the jury pool.
“What I think is happening here is [Trump] trying to, number one, intimidate local prosecutors and number two, I think it also has the effect of poisoning a jury pool,” Cole, who used to head the DOJ’s Department of Public Affairs, said in an interview with Jonathan Capehart on MSNBC.

Cole is a lying POS. He actually suggests that a jury in NYC could somehow be biased in favor of Trump or intimidated by Trump! As if media bias AGAINST Trump hasn’t been non-stop for seven years! But THAT has no effect on the jury pool? And the nationwide rioting by BLM in 2020 was just fine with this smelly slab of biomass.
All the Trump team should have to do is call attention to Satan Soros’s street grafitti right outside Trump Tower back in 2020 that had the full sanction of the city and was heavily guarded by the police. That’s how we know a fair trial cannot take place in NYC.
The only poisoning is of our justice system by leftists.
.
Biden ran out to do his dark - we must imprison MAGA - address, after Trump was raided.
Did you hear anything about the “Jury Pool?”
.
How about it is Trump’s Constitutional right to defend himself in public against these fraudulent charges.
These Soros prosecutors need to be called out and let the public see how they are turning this nation into a 3rd world hellhole. Criminals roam free in their cities, given license to steal and kill, while they waste law enforcement resources pursuing political opponents.
Already making the case to move the trial (if in fact one happens) out of NYC and to D.C. where the Democrats reign supreme.
Their game is so transparent...
The media and the DOJ has already poisoned the jury pool.
Oh and the left wing loons lying about Trump 24x7 for 6 years doesn’t poison the jury pool?
Poison the jury pool?
The demsheviks have already done that.
The gov and MSM claim he lead an inssurrection and that he’s guilty of many crimes including Stormy Daniels. Might that not taint the jury pool?!~
More like no standards no Morales corrupt creations on the slither.
They’d much rather he lie down, relax, enjoy it and take it like a man.
When I got out of the USN, I was called for Jury Duty in my blue state once every three years on the nose. (three years was the minimum interval here)
Finally, after the fifth time, I had enough. I wrote a strongly worded letter to the Commissioner of Juries for the state, and never got called again after that.
It wasn’t that I didn’t want to fulfill my duties as a citizen. I was irritated as hell that so many people I knew never, ever got called.
The last one I went to, I admit I acted like a child. I filled out the juror form so illegibly that the guy running it called me out of the group of dozens to re-do the form.
Then, when I was seated in the court listening to the potential case I might be assigned to (two guys who the State Police had pulled over and found unregistered weapons in their vehicle) Judge asked if anyone had any reason they could not impartially sit on a jury.
With no hesitation, my hand shot up. They called me up to the front with the judge, the DA, and the defense attorney (in front of all these people-this was the Cambridge District Court in MA) and the judge asked me why I felt I could not be impartial.
I told them that I simply did not trust the police and thought they planted the weapons. (I didn’t really believe this, but I was just flat out pissed)
I glanced over at the Defense attorney, and he was eyeing me and stroking his chin. It was pretty clear he was trying to formulate some way to get me on the jury.
The Judge said “If you cannot sit impartially, you may go home, but we will call you back again tomorrow.”
I said instantly that I could be impartial and agreed to be serve impartially for a jury were I selected.
They didn’t select me, and that was the last time I went for Jury duty. That was back in 1995, never got another Jury Duty notice.
Yeah, this whole notion bears a very strong resemblence to the stuff i scrap out of the cattle barn...
Well said.
I for one American am pretty disgusted and require some satisfaction, it is about time.
One of the jury duty storie I have, I saw on the news in Phoenix. A couple of screwups, a citizen and a “media” toad were guffawing about the citizen guy’s three year old being called to jury duty. They both thought it was hilarious and the idiot with the kid said, “I want her to grow up but not this fast.” Chuckle Chuckle Chuckle Chuckle. What the two maggots failed to address is that in those days, they chose names for juries from THE VOTER ROLLS. They probably still do for all I know. Funny boy should have been made to address why his three year old was listed on the voter registration rolls.
