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.

All of the jurors live at 1060 West Addison in Chicago. I already saw that movie.

CNN should be required to display a warning message in their broadcasts for the same reason you find one on a pack of cigarettes.

[Rome2000]

What happens when you give the Domestic Enemy Communists an inch.

This is how to solve the problem

[Envisioning]

It is unheard of to release the names and addresses of Jurors

BEFORE verdicts are rendered.

CNN knew the judge would not allow this.

But CNN also knows that word will get back to jurors about their request, as these jurors are not sequestered and go home every night.

Vote guilty or else.

Exactly. Charge them with jury tampering...all of them.

Straight up Jury tampering. if you are jurist are you going to expose your family to the crazies for Manfort? If we had an AG something would be done about this.

Thugs acting under the disguise of news reporters, but everyone here already knew that.

Release the names and addresses of all the scumbags who want the jurors info.

[hoosiermama]

One would think they are planning on tampering with the jury or encouraging others to do so. Crooks

[GOP Poet]

Great question

[KavMan]

These IDIOTS want to scare off any Juror that won't agree to a guilty verdict!

Dear ‘Media’: Eff Ewe!!

In Memphis the feds keep the 5th floor of the Doubletree Hotel for jurors. The rooms are bugged. There is a little black sticker in the lower right corner of each window. A Van conducts visual surveillance from a section of parking lot closed off from the public. Federal marshals dine with them during every meal.

They can get real private when they want to.

[Sam Gamgee]

What right do these pigs have to juror addresses?

[Sam Gamgee]

With a few exceptions yes.

[pjd]

It seems to me that, regardless of whether the names are released or not, CNN, NYT are already guilty of jury tampering. Since the jury is not sequestered, they (the jury) will be aware of the request by the media, so intimidation is already established.

[MHGinTN]

Yes, the crime is already committed. The media are the enemy inside the wire.

[gtwizard]

Absolutely! Release the names and addresses ... of the jurors, the lawyers, the journalists, the owners of the media outlets demanding the information, the media subscribers, everyone!! Release them ALL!

What?? You don't want YOUR address released? THEN SHUT UP!

[Concentrate]

So, who hasn’t? Get on with group think!
