Nanker Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) Want to keep the discussion of the two trials separate. The current one in Virginia is about pre-Trump dealings regarding tax evasion (yawn) and money laundering. The DC trial will try to pin him with "conspiring to defraud the U.S. government, failure to register as a foreign lobbyist, and of obstruction of justice, among other charges — and that alongside a mysterious co-defendant, Konstantin Kilimnik. Earlier this year, Mueller disclosed in court documents that this wingman possessed “ties to Russian intelligence service,” which persisted during the presidential campaign." This juicy little Trump-bashing article says so. Edited September 20, 2018 by Nanker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 Only a couple of weeks before this begins. The first trial might not do him much damage, but so many lines in the water is bound to snag something. But none of it should impact Trump and his campaign at all. The second trial will be different. I wonder if Brennan had some super-secret seventh circle of secret initiates level of info on Trump - like he wanted to build a casino in St. Petersburg using Clinton Foundation as the bank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) The jury went out to deliberate at 9:37am. After they left, the judge addressed a motion that a coalition of media groups (including BuzzFeed) filed seeking info on jurors and to unseal various sealed docs/transcripts. Here's the motion: https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4770015/8-16-18-Media-Motion-to-Intervene-and-for-Access.pdf … The judge will hold a hearing on a motion by CNN and media organizations to unseal the names and addresses of jurors as well as other parts of the trial that are currently secret.

Whatever could go wrong? https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/el-chapo-trial-promises-not-kill-jurors-witnesses-new-york-joaquin-guzman-a8180261.html The lawyer for Mexican drug kingpin Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzman says jurors presiding over his federal trial in New York do not need special protection, his defence lawyer has said. He was extradited to the United States from Mexico last year and faces federal charges for his alleged role running a drug empire responsible for deaths and trafficking. Mr Guzman has pleaded not guilty to the charges. Prosecutors in the case have requested that Brooklyn Federal Court Justice Brian Cogan — who is overseeing the case — impanel an anonymous jury with armed guards as protection, and to house those individuals in a secure location, in order to keep them safe. The trial is expected to last for months later this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the judge permits this, I'd get a lawyer on the phone if I were a juror.

Many media outlets, not just CNN, requested the information per their 1st amendment rights. The judge rightly denied them to due to safety concerns. At least checks and balances are working somewhere in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd disagree. Seems the judge handled the whole thing properly. He let the journalists make their case, found out it didn't have enough merit to outweigh keeping the jurors anonymous, & then promptly (& properly IMHO) turned it down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In college I handled a truck that went to NYC for UPS. I saw many stars names and home addresses. Rosie O'Donnell was my favorite. I drew cocks all over the box. Also saw a few random folks of less Fame or whatever but only remember Rosie because I drew dicks on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
