Katie's Sidebar: Ok, so we've got a jury of 12 plus 1 alternate so far.
The jury of 12 is 7 men and 5 women.
The alternate is female.
Tomorrow, another round of 96 prospective jurors return so ideally we get another 5 alternates.
Next week, scheduling looks like this: both Monday and Tuesday will be court days and trial will be held until 2 pm ET on both dates.
[Trump tried to get Tuesday off and the judge said "no."]

But "tax evasion" isn't one of the charges. So why are you bringing up tax evasion?

 

Bill, answer the question.

 

I did...lol

 

Which proves ...

I look forward to the day

 

Ignore him? You all are incapable of that...lol

 

Proving, AGAIN, tRaitor tRump is his own worst enemy.

 

If a juror gets bumped tomorrow then the one alternate juror who was picked today would get moved to the 12 person jury.

The latest.

• Juror eight is a retired wealth manager who is married with two kids. The man's hobbies include fly fishing and yoga.
• Juror nine is a speech therapist with a Master’s degree. She’s not married and lives alone.
• Juror 10 works for an e-commerce company and says he doesn’t really follow the news. He does, however, listen to podcasts on behavioral psychology. He was born and raised in Ohio, is unmarried and lives with another adult. He says he loves to spend time outdoors and with animals.
• Juror 11 was seated on the jury after Judge Juan Merchan denied Trump’s challenge to remove her for cause. Trump’s lawyers argued she should be dismissed because she said she does not like Trump’s “persona.” The juror works for a multinational apparel company, is not a native New Yorker, is not married and doesn’t have kids. She doesn’t really follow the news but occasionally follows headlines and reads industry-specific publications.
• The final juror seated on the main panel is a physical therapist. She has a doctorate degree and reads the New York Times, USA Today and CNN.

Meanwhile, the first empaneled alternate juror is an analyst for an asset management company who grew up in England. She lives with her boyfriend. She reads the Wall Street Journal and New York Times. '

More proof that the jury has been loaded with anti-Trumpers.

 

AS far as tRaitor tRump goes.

 

It's still tax evasion but harder to prove that intent. He is being charged with fraud under campaign finance laws which is much easier to prove because the discussions were recorded.

 

And there is the problem, he was talking about the man that was arrested in the 80s for destroying Republican political posters, Not Juror #2. Context matters.

 

You know I'm right and you're ok with it...lol

 

You REALLY don't know what this is all about do you?

What records do you believe he is accused of the false entry? What is it you think he is charged with?

And you have YET to explain the bootstrapping to a FEDERAL crime.

 

So we have moved from public trials and a jury of your peers to secret juries of your political opponents it seems.

 

If that's the fantasy you need to peddle to yourself to console your support for this *******.

 

Shankel him too! But of course the confession will be freely given.

 

Guess I'm the only one here watching it then as the Constitution becomes a fantasy now.

 

About time you admit that it's rigged...lol

 

You appear to have accidentally rolled your face across the keyboard. Nothing here makes sense.

 

If I thought for a second that you had actually read the Constitution, we could talk about it. Try reading it.

 

I'm sorry that you can't tell the difference between "doesn't have a case" and "rigged." I guess the rule of law itself is rigged against Trump . . . because he keeps breaking it.

 

I can't decide is there is just purposeful obstuness or shear lack of any knowledge of the matter such obvious specious arguments that are given....over and over and over......makes you want to...............

 

Let's start with the 5th Amendment...

"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury..."
