Government Corruption
Trump's Conviction Could Be Reversed, and a Mistrial Declared, If This Is Real
[Miranda Divine at X] If this is legit, it should wipe out Trump’s conviction.

Judge Juan Merchan has alerted Trump’s attorneys to a Facebook post by a supposed cousin of a Trump juror who spilled the beans that he had inside info that Trump was about to be convicted

"My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted. Thank you folks for all your hard work!"

#2  I'm sure Merchan will find a reason why this is not important. Even if he has to make one up. Because Trump.

#3  ^ Without a doubt Ed. Additional ammo for the appeal, unless our snoozing Supreme Court take the appropriate 'throw this shi* out' executive action
Posted by: Besoeker || 06/08/2024 9:58 Comments || Top||

#4  Au contraire my friends, this is the escape plan for the entire court case. By declaring a mistrial, they escape having to jail Trump. They have seen with devastating clarity that the entire case has been a disastrous miscalculation, boosting Trumps poll number, and the contributions, and making the Outlaw/underdog theme appealing to huge numbers of independents.

By declaring a mistrial, they get to end the wall-to-wall free media coverage, avoid the catastrophic mistake of sentencing Trump to something that will look like election interference, and increase further his dominant lead over their pathetic candidate, and yet be able to keep the "convicted felon" label for MSM repetition ad nauseum!

#5  Au contraire my friends, this is the escape plan for the entire court case.

I agree with NoMo. This is a get-out-of-jail card for the courts. You don't need to be a sophisticated legal mind to see this would eventually be overturned by a higher court. Now, they can claim Trump was convicted of umpteen felonies but the case was dismissed on a mere "technicality".

It is an excellent face-saving move that keeps the story in the news, although they may come to regret that aspect as voters keep wandering off the plantation.

#6  #5 You give them too much credit.
Posted by: Grom the Reflective || 06/08/2024 13:23 Comments || Top||

#7  ^ Yes, it would be smart to take the easy out.

Remind me again of previous times this court has proven smart.

#8  I could 'again' be wrong, but I am not certain Judge Merchan's ego would permit such an exit.

#9  51 intelligence officials will soon advise us this this is false and that bellybutton lint is tasty on a ham sandwich.

Possible Juror Misconduct/Prejudice in Trump Trial in NYC
[X] 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!!!!."

-- the Facebook post also had anti MAGA comments

#1 


Just confirming what a majority of the US Citizens knew on either political side.

It was a preordained verdict, before the trial even started.

Will the right wing media be tracking the odd circumstances of juror deaths by over the next few years. Deaths and accidents used by the Left to maintain their Juror tampering cover up ?

#2  Will be proven as hoax and used to attack any criticism of the trial.

#3  /\ It was a preordained verdict, before the trial even started.

#4  Yes grom. Anyone can post on facebook
Posted by: Anon1 || 06/08/2024 7:20 Comments || Top||

#5  Face saving tactic. Declare a mistrial and redo before higher courts overturn for obvious irregularities.

#6  #3 ^^ Great film
Posted by: badanov || 06/08/2024 8:04 Comments || Top||

#7  The real question is why did Merchan throw this out there so it became a big story? There's a hook in there somewhere.
Posted by: Mercutio || 06/08/2024 9:08 Comments || Top||

#8  Puts on size 13 hat.

Used an AI/Advanced Search to crawl social media to select jurors whose verdict outcome would be undeniable.

Those subjects, and those closest to them, all have Warhol Syndrome and crave likes and subs, leaving it up despite requests. Of course everyone involved is drunk, high, and at the 'day spa' (don't tell me Merchant's glamour shot doesn't show him feeling fabulous) and a hack DEI hire, they make a mistake.

That said, could be there are still serious people who know history and know how this goes, and needed to find an out.

But don't discount #2 card.

Be a good at bat, and watch the spin of the ball to know the pitch.

#9  Just like in the Hunter Biden trial some of the jurors are addicts/drug users.
Posted by: Deacon+Blues || 06/08/2024 12:43 Comments || Top||

#10  some of the jurors are addicts/drug users

For Hunter, that is a jury of his peers.

For the Trump case, I thought being in favor of a guilty verdict was a requirement to be seated on the jury.

#11  Growing up:
AI will be used to carry us to Jupiter, so long as we do not lose our judgement and humanity.

Today:
AI will be used to select a jury based on desired outcome of a Star Trial.

#12  Two lawyers we seated to shepherd the others.
