In a separate filing Wednesday, Nauta's attorneys moved to dismiss the superseding indictment...

Nauta further said the indictment did not allege one cohesive conspiracy but instead tried to link together distinct conduct by different people. Nowhere in the indictment does it allege Nauta or De Oliveira knew about national defense information present in Mar-a-Lago...

The jurors themselves should object to this invasion of their privacy.

Maybe the feds should read recent polls and realize that a plurality of the population think that the election WAS stolen.

Jury tempering is OK for some.

It wasn’t stolen. It was an outright robbery.

I had an interesting jury experience about ten years ago. In addition to the standard questions that are asked during the vetting process, the judge asked every prospective juror the same question:

“Other than something related to a political campaign with a candidate’s name on it, what bumper stickers do you have on your car?”

Florida federal prosecutors want to ask potential jurors in Donald Trump’s classified documents case if they believe the 2020 election was “stolen” and if they hold opinions about how the FBI executed a highly publicized search warrant at his Mar-a-Lago resort

So they want to ferret out anybody who isn’t getting news and information from sources NOT under the control of the CIA, FBI, and the Biden Administration. That’s act alone precludes a fair trial, IMHO, and those questions should NOT be allowed. However, in the Circus we now call the ‘Justice’ system of America.....you can bet they will do it anyway.

"Highlighting the politically charged nature of the case, prosecutors objected to a set of questions proposed by the defense asking jurors if they are registered to vote, whether they vote with a particular party"

My take: the Feds know they won't have a stacked courtroom like they would in DC.

I'd love to see a prospective juror asked:
"How does it make you feel that the prosecution really would like a biased judge and jury like they can get in DC?"
I know that would never be allowed, but the responses would be interesting.

Why don’t they just ask to bring a jury from New York or DC?

A jury of the prosecutions peers. Pretty sure that is not what the constitution calls for.

They can’t force you to answer questions during jury pool decision making. They can ask, but you don’t have to answer them.

I forget the rules, but basically they can ask you all kinds of things, and the defense and prosecution have the ability to veto a certain number of jurors for any reason.

Few times I’ve been called for Jury Duty, I just make sure the prosecution and defense attys know my dad was an ATTY, and that my dad would volunteer me to the the witnesses in their mock trials during law school if they ever need a child witness... I got a first hand look at the games attys play...

It was actually a pretty wild experience, I would have to memorize the testimony, then the “classroom” was literally set up like a courtroom, with the students sitting in the round looking at the “judge” and witness stand. I’d sit there and answer the questions of the “prosecutors” and “defense’ attys and the “Judge” (professor” would stop the proceedings to discuss with the students various things at any point.. then after those discussions were done, the “trial” would resume.

I was young obviously at the time, but got key insights into the games that get played in the courtroom.

Every single time at Jury Duty once the ATTYs find out that I have this background, I am summarily rejected as a possible Juror.

It is almost as if the prosecution wants to only sit vegan jurors with pink/purple hair, multiple face and body piercings, who can quote ‘Mao’s Little Red Book’ but not the Constitution, and identify as misandrist. Guess they never heard of ‘jury of your peers.’

Time labeled it ‘Fortified’ I’d go with that.

I would have recited the first Amendment to that judge.

The best question to ask jurors is “Do you believe Joe Biden is a great President?” I would want a video of the jury pool when I ask the question. Everyone who laughs their rear off I want on the jury! I would even settle for a good snicker out of a person - they could serve as the foreman just so they don’t acquit within the first five minutes.

Don’t look now, but.... the left is, as we speak, seeing to fundamentally transform the population of America into a “jury of THEIR peers”. And it’s working.

Total violation of First Amendment!!

“I know that would never be allowed”

Once the words are out of your mouth, they’re out there. Not an issue of “allowing”. Of course, you’d be off the jury for sure.

I wonder what would be a generic response to this question that would give no clue as to what you really believe.
