BREAKING: NY Judge Merchan Informs Lawyers of ‘My Cousin is a Juror, Trump is Getting Convicted’ Facebook Post Left on NY Court Page, Pre-Verdict.
In a new development in Trump’s Manhattan “hush money” case, Justice Merchan has communicated to the involved parties about an incident involving a comment left on the court system’s Facebook page. The comment, left on May 29, one day prior to Trump’s conviction, reads: “My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted 🎉 Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!! ❤️”
The fact that the judge has written to the involved parties may indicate truth to the inside knowledge of the poster. The letter from Justice Merchan reads, in full:
Today, the Court became aware of a comment that was posted on the Unified Court System’s public Facebook page and which I now bring to your attention. In the comment, the user, “Michael Anderson,” states:
The comment was no longer visible when checked by The National Pulse.
Theoretically, if the comment is found to be true and a juror was discussing the verdict of the case with their cousin, Justice Merchan could rule a mistrial. Given his record of rulings against Trump and his daughter’s financial stake in the case, this is unlikely.
Maybe they planted this, themselves ... to put a stop all of the YUGE, self inflicted backfire they’re getting. 😂
Won't happen, they can't overturn the will of the people of New York.
They voted for this and this is what they wanted, it ain't fixable by a ruling from SCOTUS.
I just posted a similar story, in which someone admitted discussing a case with a juror.
The way the law plays, if both persons deny it, the judge may say “no evidence of an actual violation”.
But of course a jackass who would post this on a court Facebook, would also interfere with a juror.
By the looks of the facebook page of this “michael anderson” he looks like a freak of nature so could this be a fake who knows
Ny Slimes fake news headline to come:
This is a planted message by Trump team to make the NY just us system look bad..
/s
Does give him an out, though, IF he wants one, since the verdict and all backfired wildly.
Some Judicial Authority must investigate every single case that this judge has tried!
Even it was a “joke” or Anderson’s cousin was NOT on the jury, the timing indicates jury tampering.

Would the judge even bother to bring it up though unless at least some proof
I mean if the jurors name was on his Facebook page it would be easy to verify
Heck it might have even been labeled “family” as Cousin
if the Michael Anderson is the same one Ive seen pics of on twitter he looks like a absolute lunatic, now is this legit or a hoax, why would the judge send this letter if it could be a proven hoax really easily
Look for evidence of a communication of any kind between these two morons.
Thats how I read it too.
"Look how fair I am!".
Sounds like prosecutorial mis conduct
Or jury tampering.
Forget it Jake it’s NY.

What fustercluck. These people could screw up a wet dream.
This gives judge Merchan an out if he wants to weasel out of the skitshow he’s been conducting. He can get a do over.
The Democrats can get to say that Trump got off on a “Technicality”.
I’m not a lawyer but it seems to me that if this is true it represents *huge* judicial misconduct.
Merchan, Bragg, Fani Willis, Merrick Garland, Jack Smith, Letitia James, Arthur Engoron, Wray and the FBI, Joe Biden, et al. are trying to tell us but we just refuse to believe it.
If the juror was so hyped to tell his/her cousin who obviously shows excitement of the anticipated convection, it shows jury bias of thrill in finding Trump guilty = mistrial.
Did they check the post for DNA?
And did it come back as Kangaroo DNA?
But I do think NY state has some jusridictional limits that preclude the case moving out of the City or state.
