They're going to have to treat this like a mob trial or else it won't go anywhere.

[markstothard]

The US justice system seems to be totally impotent when it comes to dealing with mobster like thuggery...pathetic.

[RotalHenricsson]

...how is the jury not entirely and utterly anonmyous?

[maryalicecoleman]

Thuggery is the perfect description. Nothing but thuggery with trump and his clan.

[stardust]

I thought Jury intimidation was illegal?

[janetglover]

When will his conduct be disclipined by the court. Lock him up.

[annakingry]

And the penalty for Trump, Waters, or anybody threatening these jurors? Nothing at all? How can that be legal?Jury intimidation is not covered by free speech.

[timheersma]

Perhaps FOX needs another massive lawsuit ?

[loriweasel]

Can Fox be charged with jurist intimidation?

[gsbrockway]

And no charges against jesse whineass for jury intimidation ????

[ekmickley]

It is not just the thuggery, it is the lack of accountability...

[Desertdogz]

The amount of damage that Trump and the MAGA movement has done to America is immeasurable.

[IusedtohaveausernameIliked]

For the life of me I can't understand why Trump isn't in jail already for repeated, obvious, and flagrant contempt of court.

[BillCurtis-xc]

Jessie waters should be charged with tampering with the jury

[bkzeppelin]

Trumpy and his henchmen should be held accountable, enough is enough.

[beachcrow]

*person, woman, man, camera, TV, jail*

The news media need to protect the jury candidates.
You have enough garbage to report on. Leave the jury alone.
Say nothing! Enough!

I've actually experienced these red hats first hand and the trauma they cause. They drive around the community with those big American flags waving off the back of their monster 4x4s and it's absolutely terrifying to experience. Vote blue as if your life depends on it.

Imagine American citizen jurors threatened by a former president.
