I'm so jealous of the potential jurors that got to have their anti Trump posts read directly to him. If only...
"Your Honor, may I please read my tweet directly to his face?"
I wish this was shown on television. It honestly seems like the best part of the case so far.I'm so jealous of the potential jurors that got to have their anti Trump posts read directly to him. If only...
In just about one of the lowest points of Fox News history, the news channel is now trying to intimidate the jurors:

Only 3 pages of prior criminal acts that were uncharged that they're going to use for impeachment? They should be hauling this notice in like it's children's letters to Santa Claus.

But then again, what do you expect from one of the guys who replaced Rush Limbaugh on the radio?

Surely this is illegal? Conspiracy to obstruction of justice or something?
I think the party of Law & Order has decided law and order should be ignored if it doesn't serve the conservative agenda.

Trump being forced to be in court and falling asleep just fills me with the warm fuzzies. Well that and him having to read memes about himself. Please give us more of this deliciousness.

Having one of my Trump shitposts read out loud in front of him by either me or a judge in my presence would be memorialized on my grave.

Trump editing in disparaging comments about Michael Cohen, sounds like another gag order violation to me.
Dancing in the streets
"So I hear what sounds like a cowbell," Merchan, the judge, said as he listened to a video posted to Facebook four years ago by a high-school teacher and mother of two.
She was the first of the prospective jurors who were challenged by Trump's defense team on Tuesday over their "anti-Trump" social-media posts.
Her Facebook video showed Manhattanites laughing, cheering, and dancing in the streets after Joe Biden's 2020 presidential victory.
2. 'Get him out and lock him up'
Then there were the social-media posts of the juror identified as "B-38," a middle-aged man from Midtown who works as a creative director for Lands' End.
"Good news," he posted on Facebook in 2017, soon after Trump took office. "Trump lost his court battle and his unlawful travel ban."
In another post from around that time, he said, "Get him out and lock him up" and "Watch out for stupid tweets by DJT."
Not the prospective juror's own Facebook, mind you. The account of the prospective juror's husband.
The husband also posted a meme in 2016 showing Trump and then-President Barack Obama side by side. It was captioned, "I don't think this is what they meant by 'orange is the new black.'"
And finally, the husband posted, again in 2016, "Just a meme of a character holding President Trump's head in their hands," Blanche complained. The head, he said, was severed.
"I guess it is a character from the Simpsons," the judge offered querulously.
"Yes, your honor," Blanche answered.
They included some Biden-Harris campaign promotions and a news story headlined "Trump indicted in documents case."
They also included what Blanche complainingly described as "a one-minute-and-30-second video, titled "I Am Dumb Fuck Trump."
"This is a parody video," Blanche huffed of the AI-generated clip, "that mocks President Trump the whole time."
The final prospective juror questioned on their social-media posts was a retired grandmother from Manhattan's Lower East Side.
"Trump invites Thai boys to White House," the meme read. "Boys request to return to cave."
"Republicans projected to pick up 70 seats in prison," read another meme,
All the insults Trump was forced to suffer through during jury selection
republicans projected to pick up 70 seats in prison is damn good
My question is how do the lawyers have access to those facebook posts?
Do the potential jurors give them their passwords? Are their pages open to public?
You go to my page, and if you're not a "friend", all you see is my profile pic.
Wouldn't pillaging their pages be some violation of their rights?
Yeah and I imagine plenty of people want to weasel out of this so they hand it over knowing they'll get excusedit might have been part of the questionnaire. i was in the jury pool for a trial this/last week (and ultimately was not selected from the pool), and questions included things like have you had positive interactions with the police, do you know someone who committed suicide, etc. prosecution and defense ask potential jurors about their answers because their goal (should be) to have a fair and impartial jury, who is willing to hear both sides and judge the case based on the evidence and not external factors.
Even detailing the specifics of the memes is going to flag people to family etc. Not sure exactly what can be done there.The press should be fine to report on general details of the juror's social media and watching behavior (Has a Facebook, posted politician memes, watches Fox and/or MSNBC, etc).
The press should -NOT- be able to report on physical or identifying details of a juror, like having an Irish accent, hair color, from which part of town, etc.
I would think the distinction and ethics should be obvious.
