Left-wing election disrupter Marc Elias admitted Sunday that former President Donald Trump cannot get an impartial jury trial in Washington D.C.
The Biden Department of Justice is trying to throw Trump in jail on multiple charges, including charges related to his speech about the 2020 presidential election on Jan. 6, 2021.
Elias, whose legal campaigns are often funded by left-wing billionaire George Soros, posted a screenshot on X of a headline announcing that former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley won her first primary of the 2024 election in the D.C. swamp.
“In a city of 700,000, Donald Trump got 676 votes in the GOP primary. A tough jury pool,” he commented.
While Elias appeared to be trying to make a political point about the Republican presidential primary, his post pointed out the constitutional concerns about trying Trump in such a deep-blue district.
The Sixth Amendment requires that defendants receive an “impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed.”
But could Trump really receive a fair trial?
Trump’s team has argued the former president will be unable to receive an impartial jury in the city where President Joe Biden received 92.1 percent of the vote compared to Trump’s 5.4 percent.
In fact, the Supreme Court acknowledged in the 1971 case Groppi v. Wisconsin that there are some cases where “only a change of venue [is] constitutionally sufficient to assure the kind of impartial jury” required by both the Sixth and 14th Amendments.
The court previously ruled in Rideau v. Louisiana that “it was a denial of due process of law to refuse the request for a change...

NY...no....DC....no....Florida....no
Change of venue...............West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Carolinas.......................
Congress created the DC Federal District Court, and they can eliminate it.
Its become the DOJ/Deep-state Kangaroo Court - full of Fed.gov employees and all its cronies. Its juries are full of those people, or welfare dependents.
Of all the scumbags on the Left, I think he is one of the basest, most craven, unscrupulous players out there.
He believes in tyranny. He and his masters know damn well what his job is, and that is to impede, deconstruct, damage and destroy every single aspect of the American voting so it will be an open, malleable, and corruptible process in the hands of evil, scummy bastards on the Left, of which he is one of the most egregious.
In a just, functioning Republic his efforts would be for naught, and I know the founders would have poured boiling tar on him, covered him with feathers, and ridden him down to a ship back to England on the sharpest rail possible.
Arrest Elias for election interference
Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin, pretty much everywhere
As for juries to “try” the President, it is simply impossible to seat an unbiased jury in his case. Everyone has an opinion.
Which is why none of this crap ever happened to any other President.
I bet Nikki Nimroda could
Hmmm ... that would make me, potentially, a juror ...
IN A CITY OF 700,000-———NIKKI HALEY GOT 1276 VOTES.
All 4 candidates that got counted votes ==2006.
IN A CITY OF 700,000 !!!!!!!!!!!!
That appears to be about 1/3 of 1 percent....
Bio that of a typical America-hating leftist:
Born to a Jewish family in New York City, Elias was raised in Suffern, New York.[7] He earned a Bachelor of Arts in government in 1990 from Hamilton College, at which he attended a class taught by Bernie Sanders.[8] He then earned a master’s degree in political science from Duke University and a Juris Doctor from Duke University School of Law.[9][1]
I’ve often said it’s impossible to find 12 honest people in DC to sit on a jury in a politically charged case.
So there were about 2000 GOP voters in the entire district. Laughable.
