Good, it will save their lives and help produce a fair verdict.
Trump sees himself as a 90's monster. Threatening witnesses is totally his trademark. Not to mention sicing his more devout followers on them
90's monster
You probably meant 90's mobster, but both fit I guess.
He’s more like a 70s monster… “and I would have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for you meddling judges”.
Ruh-oh!
Swamp Thing was a 70s monster, too.
He'd fit right in with 'em.
Plus just libeling and slandering them. I'm beyond sick of his bullshit like calling prosecutors doing their jobs 'DERANGED'. Trump is a believer in 'repeat things enough times and they become true'. With his stupid nicknames and labels, we hear them so often that it comes to mind for me when I think of the person, even though I think whatever he said was incredibly stupid. The problem is the media dutifully amplifies his message... "Trump calls Jack Smith deranged! Deranged Jack Smith!"
Trump is a believer in ‘repeat things enough times and they become true’
Hmm, I did Nazi you mention who the pioneers of this particular propaganda technique were, and why Trump would use their tactics.
Huh, where could he have learned about that?
Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed.

I never believed that story, because I'm not convinced Trump is literate enough to read such a book or to understand Hitler's oratory.
I bet he made Ivanka read it to him before bedtime.
Go watch old interviews of him from the '80s. He's half-senile now and he's always been an evil grifter, but he wasn't actually an idiot.
You know very well the names will leak, and you know very well this will ruin their lives and probably end them prematurely.
I would sit in jail for as long as necessary to avoid being on any of these juries.
Thank you for admitting your cowardice. I'd welcome the challenge of it, and be honored to be in the select group of people able to actually hold him accountable
I'm more interested in what the judge plans to do when those names are inevitably leaked.
It's pretty insane how nuts these people are. They're willing to throw away their lives, maybe even kill others because their glorious leader is getting in trouble.
Wait, jurors identities were public before that?
They've already been released once. I guess they want to hide them moving forward.
You're thinking of the Grand jury. This is about the petit jury.
Ah, I didn't realize there was a distinction. Thanks for the clarification.
Grand Jury issues indictments, can put you in jail until trial, and there's generally no defense or judge present. They only need probable cause.
Anything else would be insane.
This is fantastic news. The identities of the grand jury that indited Trump were released publicly under GA law designed for "transparency", which is an incredibly stupid law in high profile cases.
I've wondered for awhile now if jury trials need to be double-blind.
