Judge T.S. Ellis III revealed in open court Friday that he has received death threats relating to his presiding over Paul Manafort’s trial

The *judge* has since retained the protection of the U.S. Marshals Service.

Whoops!

Supposedly the note was that one of the jurors wants to go home for a little while...

Not sure how the press would know what’s in the note unless the judge tells them, though, so that’s likely BS from the press that wanted juror IDs.

Dollars to donuts CNN already has 'em. Just waiting for opportune time to release publicly without legal jeopardy.

Yep. Probably got the names from Mueller would be my guess.

The threats were only due to presiding over the case. NOTHING to do with revealing the jurors’ names.

Agree?

I only said it was the *judge* who received the death threats.

Is there something in the above sentence you fail to understand?

Seems to me it’d be easy for the press to follow jurors home.

"My guess is Robert Mueller wants a mistrial.

He wants to refile and roll the dice again, hoping this time he gets a friendlier judge.

Fears for their safety — from the media.

The judge better be careful that he doesn’t end up having a heart attack during the night with a pillow over his head, or perhaps hang himself with a red scarf from a doorknob.

Seems pretty obvious to me that the Coup Co-Conspirators in the Liberal Media have become very nervous about the jury asking for a clearer understanding of “reasonable doubt”.

Seems John Podesta got his “make an example of someone” for leaking DNC emails. /coughSethRichcough

He and Comey have certainly proven they’re just henchmen for Obama.

I have never seen anything like it. Well, other than the dedication to Adolph Hitler. As I recall, those people didn’t want citizens to own private firearms, too. Isn’t that a surprising coincidence?

Oh, and I’ve seen more than a few “Jooooz did it” by liberals online. Another amazing coincidence.

Threatening a federal judge is probably right up there with threatening a sitting president in terms of the seriousness.

I’m sure they are requesting the names so they can “leak” to some slimeball on social media and release them. DO NOT TRUST THESE TOTALITARIANS!!

This will “prime the Pump”, “set the stage”, for when/if any serious action unfolds to imprison any of the “small group”, HIllary Clinton gang, etc. The word will spread and any future juror will see/be made aware of the real danger to their lives, and no juror will lay their life on the line to render a guilty verdict.

If trials actually ever take place, once the media lets it be known they (jurors) will be hunted down and exposed...and you can be sure they will...you can guarantee all the perps will walk. The media can/will protect the swamp and the swamp darn well knows it. ie Death of America.

LOL

............ lots of "coincidences" going on out there.

*****************

Once may be happenstance.

Twice may be coincidence.

Three times, it's very possibly enemy action.

......... or maybe not.
