A judge on Tuesday said that she would be placing limitations on public access to the proceedings surrounding Roger Stone’s efforts to secure a new trial. The limitations were in order to protect the identity of a juror who is apparently central to Stone’s claims of juror misconduct that warranting a new trial.
“This is a highly publicized case, and in a highly polarized political climate in which the president himself has shown a spotlight on the jury through his Twitter platform,” the judge said…
Thank you, Judge Jackson. Keep bustin’ Donnie’s balls until he understands the notion of justice and separation of powers. Over and over and over again, as necessary.
Good for her! I am sick of these rotten-to-the-absolute-core POSs that ‘think’ in their petty little brains that its OK to smear, insult and put at danger ANYONE who isn’t ‘loyal’. Collateral damage.
“The judge also told the parties to avoid saying the juror’s name, their jury number, and other information, including information about the juror’s social media accounts, that would identify the juror.”
Of course this admonishment doesn’t apply to Rand Paul.
Federal judges like Berman Jackson are vital in the line of defense that must be built and held against the tyrannical objectives of Trump and his gang.
Thank you, Your Honor, for standing up to trumpery and all the chaos, mayhem, and threatened violence that it represents–a true threat to our increasingly beleaguered republic.
Anyone who isn’t deeply disturbed and angered by what is happening here is ignorant of every aspect of what “rule of law” means. Of all of the horrors Trump has unleashed, this ranks right up there with children in cages and tacitly condoning the murder of journalists by Saudi Arabia. It chills me to the core.
