President Trump accused the jury foreperson in the trial of GOP provocateur Roger Stone of “bias” on Thursday, a claim that shows the President’s willingness to intervene in the judicial system on behalf of a political ally and friend.
To be fair, the requirement is a jury of one’s peers.
The foreperson, at least, does not appear to be a crooked russkie-loving commie piece of trash.
Clearly, just on that, need to declare a mistrial.
“Trump Is Dead…”
YES, YES, YES???
“…Wrong About Juror Bias In Roger Stone Case.”
It doesn’t matter how many ways he’s wrong about it. All the corporate media will play Trumps accusation soundbites, will false balance the story or at the least even if they call him out they will put Trumps false allegations as the headline giving it credence. The conservative media will just run with this as truth and it’s viewers will only hear that side. This will be brought up as ‘proof’ the jury was corrupt by your relatives at easter dinner. This is the media world we’re in now, Trumps made up lies work!
" All The Ways Trump Is Dead Wrong About . . . ."
Complete this headline with pretty much anything that pops into your head.
He and his cohort are counting on the base being as ignorant about juries as Dotard is. As long as they can lie about the way trials work, they can maintain the illusion that it was unfair.
OT - This should generate a Twit tantrum.
He needs to just ignore the courts and order the Pentagon to move ahead with it, for national security reasons.
Munches on popcorn.
OT—for a completely different take on the election season, watch this when it starts:
.
Intervening in a court case got a mayor of Dallas fired.
I cannot believe there is nothing but crickets coming from the Senate about this.
Wait’ll he declares martial law in Blue States in the days before the election, and the silence from them then will be deafening compared with this.
Yeah I’ll wait until he does that before I comment on it myself.
Thanks for this. Saves me the work of trying to say the same thing, but not as well as you have.
At the rate he’s been escalating things since his acquittal, it’s practically inevitable. Hell, he already took one shot across the bow by suspending NY citizens from being able to apply for Global Entry or Pre-Check.
Hope Hicks gonna set the bodies on fire in the Rose Garden.
I guess the universal “we” should all have a remedial course in high school Civics 101 put out by quality journalists just so we can understand how full of BS our “president” is.
I say this in all seriousness because this kind of reporting will protect our Judicial institutions.
Thank you Josh Kovensky.
All The Ways Trump Is Dead Wrong About …
There’s a macro for that.
He’s going to try for a mistrial on grounds of incompetent representation. Watch.
