Keep in mind when you read this piece that the only conservative in the story is Gonzalez. The others are far-right pols who want to burn it all down—the antithesis of conservatism. #media #gop

It’s probably safe to say that few, if any, judges have had to deal w/the array of #threats to #their trial that Justice #Merchan has had to. Besides #Trump himself, who constantly tests the boundaries of his #GagOrder, there are his allies who attacking the judge & his family & who aren’t covered by the gag order. Then there’s the #media who has been putting potentially identifying info about prospective #jurors on TV.
#criminal #law #intimidation #harassment #JuryTampering #TrumpTrial
They are bringing in a new group of 96 prospective #jurors. This group has already been sworn in, & will soon go through the winnowing process, starting w/ Justice #Merchan asking them to raise their hands if they feel they cannot be fair to #Trump.
Reporters will be more careful in offering physical descriptions of the jurors after the judge's warning & earlier juror dismissal.
#media #Trump #criminal #law #intimidation #harassment #JuryTampering #TrumpTrial
Justice #Merchan says the questions about employers are necessary. But he directs prospective jurors' answers to be #redacted from the transcript & #reporters to not report them.
Christopher Conroy, one of the Manhattan DA prosecutors, is now arguing that #Trump has continued to violate the #GagOrder that was placed on him. [ya think?]
"It's ridiculous & has to stop," he says.
#media #criminal #law #intimidation #harassment #JuryTampering #TrumpTrial
The #defense is objecting to skipping the question about current & past employers.
"That's not fair," #Trump atty Susan Necheles said of being denied the info.
#Merchan asks the #press not to report the answers to questions 3a & 3d on the #juror questionnaire: "Who is your current employer?" & "Who was your prior employer?"
"I have the #legal authority to do it,” he says of blocking the press from reporting info about jurors' employers.
Joshua Steinglass, a Manhattan DA office prosecutor, suggested that prospective #jurors not be asked to answer who their current & previous employers are, to better anonymize them.
The judge says it's a great suggestion.
It was the juror questionnaire, which was not created by the #press, that included a question about employers.
#media #Trump #criminal #law #intimidation #harassment #JuryTampering #TrumpTrial
"There's a reason this is an #anonymous #jury & why we have taken the steps we have taken," Justice #Merchan says, asking that the #press "abide common sense," & avoid physical descriptions.
Merchan says we lost a #juror who he thinks would have "been a very good juror."
"I'm directing the press to refrain from writing anything you observe w/your eyes & hear w/your ears that's not on the record," the judge says.
#media #Trump #criminal #law #intimidation #harassment #JuryTampering #TrumpTrial
We are down to 6 jurors, & apparently waiting to hear from another, juror 4. The judge is addressing the #NewsMedia, saying there is a reason #reporters are taking measures to keep the #jury #anonymous.
It “kind of defeats the purpose of that" when so much information is #publicized about them.

#Conservative #RickWilson warned Tuesday a #NormalcyBias in the #media could have fatal consequences for #AmericanDemocracy should former President #DonaldTrump regain the #WhiteHouse.
Wilson published to substack Tuesday a new essay called "The Bothsides Argument Will Kill Us All" condemning Trump for his "winks at the alt-reich," the #MAGA base who support a candidate frequently compared to a #dictator, & media reporting that presents them as "normal."

"Donald Trump thinks he just pulled a fast one on the media and the electorate. On Monday morning, Trump put out a video articulating his “position” on abortion. …
For weeks, Trump signaled he was planning on proposing a 15- or 16-week national abortion ban."
