Morning News Notes

Trump Trial

After one juror was taken off the jury over concerns of anonymity, another is now possibly going to be removed for not showing up and information found overnight.  The first juror felt that there was so much information about her on the internet that friends were calling and asking her if she was on the jury.  She felt intimidated.  This is going to happen with all the jurors who might possibly be neutral.  There is an army of right-wingers out there trying to dig up information about these jurors.  And, the court system, just acts like they are dealing with business as usual.

The second juror, the one who hasn’t shown up this morning, had some kind of prior conviction for tearing down political posters.

Trump is working with his attorneys to mold his tweets to go up to the legal line of the gag order but not go over it.  These attorneys should be disbarred.
