A recent development in the legal proceedings involving former President Donald Trump has raised concerns over potential irregularities in the jury deliberations. New York Judge Juan Merchan recently issued a notice to both the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and Trump’s legal team regarding a post on the Facebook page of the New York court system.

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson 🚨 BREAKING: Judge Merchan sends letter to parties in NY Trump case notifying them that this comment was left on their Facebook page before the verdict:
“My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted & Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!!.”
4:35 PM · Jun 7, 2024
The post, attributed to a user named “Michael Anderson,” claimed to be from the cousin of a juror who allegedly had insider knowledge of Trump’s conviction on 34 felony charges. The comment, posted concurrently with the verdict announcement, expressed gratitude to the individuals involved in the case for their efforts.

🚨 WHY DID JUDGE MERCHAN LEAVE OUT THE PART ABOUT “MAGA CRAZIES”?
I’m glad that liberals can’t help but spill the beans when they are conspiring to destroy their enemies.
Should I get my popcorn ready?
not holding my breath
Hmmm, Democrats will figure out a way around this.
the guy says he’s a professional sh*t poster, I assume the judge would have thoroughly vetted this BEFORE releasing this info to the defense and DA, he wouldnt want to look like a complete moron by someone who was just punking people, I mean after all its the INTERNET, everyone lies online, my cousins sisters daughter said something, doesnt mean its true, so why are they releasing this now
Hmmn, according to this judge and the prosecutors, only President Trump is gagged and can't discuss anything at all. All the anti-Trumpers can sling all the mud they want regardless of any "laws".
And we aren't crazies! That's a label proved to exist on libs.
We know it was bogus all along. A misdemeanor past statutes of limitations turned into a felony!?? Harrumph!
Proclaiming a mistrial would save a lot of time and money!
The person who made that FB comment doesn’t realize that the CIA/FBI Deep State has every comment you ever made on social media stored somewhere. All they have to do is narrow it down to time, location, ISP number, etc. Whether a crank comment or an actual relative of a jury member, this person is in a world of hurt.
So this is how the Democrats are going to get out of the cesspool they created. Fake a post, claim a mistrial. Yeah, that the ticket.
That judge is an absolute pos and should be deported.
Exactly, this is a Gigantor CYA, “Judge” Merchan should be censored, Braggart should be arrested and “Tish” should be disbarred. TONIGHT.
Meh. There will be a hearing, and the juror will say her cousin is a Hunter-level crackhead and posts crap all the time, judge will say OK then, just making sure and that will be it.
This whole thing seems kinda silly.
Let's say the Hunter Biden case goes to a jury. I could just as easily post from a burner account on the court's Facebook page while the jury was deliberating, "My cousin is on the jury and told me he's guilty."
And then when a jury came out later with a guilty verdict, it would look shady. But really, it was nothing more than a totally effortless prank on my part.
I'm not expecting much to come from this.
My money is on “obvious troll is obvious”.
I find it hard to believe this was NOT vetted before it was released, it would take anyone 5 seconds to figure out if this guy is a total whack job or possibly telling the truth..so something else is going on here..Biden realizing he is not gaining in the polls, this was supposed to be their big moment, Trump a convicted felon, yet he’s more popular than ever before
The judge is obligated to report the info.
That doesn’t mean it’s not a troll.
Probably this is just a little rope-a-dope by our communist masters to generate a false sense of optimism...
Just when we get to try to kick the football, Lucy will let it fall over...
I wish. Bragg would demand a retrial, PDJT would spend August and September stuck in the court room instead of campaigning, and Merchan would keep the gag order in place through November.
Does the statement that they’re married mean they can’t testify against each other, don’t bother with pursuing this?
