Manafort's attorney Kevin Downing said the ongoing deliberations favor his client.
“I had no idea this case would incite this emotion,” U.S. District Court Judge T.S. Ellis III said in an open court hearing, responding to a motion from seven news organizations, including POLITICO, seeking access to sealed materials related to the trial that would have publicly identified the jurors.

I don't understand the raw, vicious emotions regarding this case
ReplyDeleteeither. Pedophiles, murderers - no one hardly bats an eye.
One could fill a hat with names of the same type of offenders
like the Clinton's and hundreds more. Martha Stewart was also
selectively targeted. The commies are physically trying to
force a guilty verdict. I hope Ellis stands his ground and
stays safe.

DeleteAmazing and I think the judge will.
So who is it threatening the judge and the jurors? Could it be "anti-hate", loving leftists who want to make sure the letter of the law is enforced against Mr. Manafort? --Ron W
ReplyDelete99.9% sure.
DeleteWhat is their justification, or excuse, for suing for the sealed documents? So far I haven't been able to find any articles detailing why these news orgs thought they had any right to info of an active trial. And at least at CNN they never mention that they themselves were one of the ones suing. (Unless I got the info about CNN wrong.)
ReplyDeleteinfo of an active trial.
DeletePersonally, I wouldn't want my name ever released as a juror.
