I’m sure you’re right. I did an 8 day seminar (as an attendee) in Houston and was told that they all carry.

Not a fan either. Their corruption is deep and wicked.

The first thing CNN will do is hand the jury list over to Spike Lee.

I believe most federal thudges carry.

This - even though the gruberment would stop at NOTHING to get someone who carried out an attack on a feral thudge.

It would be beyond nuclear.

>>>It does not appear that jurors have reached a verdict today in the #ManafortTrial. The judge has said later today he will ask jurors if they wish to reconvene at 11AM or 1PM Monday<<<

If there is a Verdict, are they being sequestered over the Weekend? Makes no sense.

It’s only 3 PM back there, what’s the problem, taking off early to get to Happy Hour?

That’s what I said. It went something like this;

“Judge, if they don’t find Manafort guilty, we’ll get you and the jurors as soon as their names are released”!

Ooops, Obama Machine has just made a tactical error.
Shaking down Judges and Jurys is a Felony, even if you are Al Capone.

Not when you have a “justice” department who will NEVER prosecute someone on the other side.

My understanding is that once the jury has gone into deliberations then the prosecutor can no longer ask for a mistrial. I could be wrong....legal weasels out there have input?

holy C***, we really are fighting off a coup attempt.

Nah, John Gotti used to threaten judges and juries all the time.

I hope this blows up in Mueller’s face.

I do want justice done if Manafort broke the law, but this wreaks of political witch-hunt.

Mueller did everything possible to coerce this guy into turning on Trump.

That seems rather obvious.

Btw, it’s being reported these were death threats directed right at the Judge. Yes, it appears possible this was partly over the jurors names being released. But then again the threats might not have directly threatened the jurors, but the judge took the initiative himself to keep the jurors names secret due to the threats he received.

This judge seems to be a very good one.

The Left is melting down.

Love it.

I’m aware of that.
Why do u think CNN wants the names and addresses of jurors?
I don’t think the jurors are being sequestered, which means they
go home every night.
Which means they are going to hear about CNN’s request for their
names and addresses. Which means intimidation.

Well, my comments are based on the headline/tweet, that it was the the judge who received the threats. No?

Of course CNN would want the names, like any other news organization. But I was specifically talking about the direct threats to the judge.

“Military tribunals should be set up for all co-conspirators and operatives.”

so you’re one of those who wants to abandon the U.S. Constitution and proceed directly to star-chamber, fascist kangaroo courts? what distinguishes you from the left who want the same thing?

Ok the judge is being threatened.
It’s unusual for news organizations to request names and addresses
of jurors BEFORE verdicts are rendered.
CNN knows the jurors will hear about their request before
any verdicts are rendered. That is their purpose.
