CNN, NYT And Other News Outlets Ask Manafort Judge To Release Jurors’ Names, Addresses
foxnews.com ^ | 8/17/18 | Chuck Ross

A coalition of news outlets, including CNN, The New York Times, BuzzFeed and The Washington Post, want the federal judge presiding over the Paul Manafort trial to unseal the names and addresses of the jurors deliberating on the case.

The judge, T.S. Ellis III, agreed to hear arguments about the disclosure during a hearing scheduled for 2 p.m. Friday.

“A thirsty press is essential to a free county,” Ellis said in court when addressing the media companies’ motion. He also urged the news outlets, which are being represented by the firm Ballard Spahr, to appeal his decision should he rule against publicizing the jury’s information.

There’s a reason why jurors are given numbers instead of names. Is it even legal for anyone (even a judge) to release a juror’s name, other than that juror, himself?

Appeal that, a-holes.

Not enemies of the people, eh? Or maybe certain people . . .

They are out of control. It is going to be by Nov.

Partner, we hope so!

The evil, lying, traitorous MSM has been doing this for past 50 years. Give us a break!!!

Sounds like Fox is defending these jackals.

You sound surprised. Don't be.

Fox News has been a NeverTrump POS from the moment Trump announced his candidacy. Nearly the entire leadership and most of the major personalities|hosts despise him.

Why would Judge Ellis urge the petitioners to appeal if he rules against their motion?

I like watching Hannity, Lou Dobbs and Greg Jarrett (most on Hannity).

Online too much to get much viewing in. So I just catch snippets.

Yeah, the Democrats probably have an October Surprise, but what’s different this time around is their Republican opponent has one in store for them too. The Dems and their puppets are whipping out the old playbook that usually works against conventional Republicans. It won’t work against this president. He’s always two steps ahead of them.

Bloodthirsty, in this case.

I wouldn’t put it past the Democrats to incite one of their tools for a school shooting or such. As such I hope all schools, churches, Republican events, etc. have decent security. Especially with the midterms coming up.

Which is crazy, yes. But I’ve seen them in action online.

They have no conscience, no low is too low, “by any means necessary”, whatever to help Democrats win. Which is alarming to say the least.

But I hope you are correct.

So publish the home names and addresses of all journalists, their management staff, and attorneys as counsel.

Delicious ... the media, enemy of we the people, will endanger the lives of the jurors if they acquit, so the President should take steps to protect them by removing the decision from their hands. An immediate pardon before the fact would do it!... And liberal fools will self identify by raging over it. A win win I’d say. America needs fumigating ...

Keep them thirsty, then. It would be anti-American to slake their thirst by providing information to them.

[the media ... will endanger the lives of the jurors if they acquit]

The liberal media knows that most likely some family member or friend will warn a jury member.

So the jury-tampering is pretty much accomplished.

Will a mistrial be declared? CNN, New York Times and MSNBC will call it “a conspiracy” after making it happen.
