This is not even out of the starting gate and makes the OJ trial circus look like Perry Mason.

Change of venue or mistrial.

The Left just needs to find better liars.

The fix is in.

Is there a plan B?

I do think too much information about the jurors was released to the public. We all know that the ones who decide to vindicate President Trump are the ones who will fear repercussions the most.

As an aside, I wonder if an endless failure to seat a jury eventually becomes a mistrial. Preliminaries can’t go on forever.

No problem they have already replaced the jurors.
Nancy Pelosi and AOC are the two new impartial jurors .

A second juror was dismissed over his past arrest. Details of juror number 4’s criminal past were not disclosed.

Once during jury selection where I was a part of the pool, the prosecution had a laptop and would ask in open court things like, "Mr. Jones can you tell us what happened on June 18th 1996?" The first person they asked was stunned and took a while to answer, but for most people it was, "I got drunk and did something stupid." But this was for all to hear. I don't know if any of them ended up on the jury or not. I didn't have anything like that, and I was not selected although I believe defense wanted me (vetoed by the prosecution I'm sure).

#4 was considered a potential trump favorable juror

#2 that quit earlier in the day was considered a vote against Trump

“Tearing down political advertisements” becomes “propaganda” when the self-serving democrat judge asks whether “the propaganda came from the left or the right” eh?

So, if the advertisements that were destructively torn down were favoring a republican, would that make their destruction “legitimate protest” in the eyes of this hate-filled, foreign-born judge?

I have questions about exactly what the process is.

Typically, a jury is provided a written questionnaire in advance of coming to Court. The answers they provide are made available to counsel. I understand something like this happened in this case?

First question: Who determined the questions that were to be asked in the questionnaire? Judge Merchan? Or did counsel have input?

Then, there is a certain amount of questioning permitted of the jurors by counsel after they have made it into court (voir dire). Who is doing the questioning? Judge Merchan, or the counsel? How much time is counsel permitted to spend questionning a juror? Has Judge Merchan prevented or forbidden counsel from asking certain questions?

Finally, how many peremptory challenges is each side allowed to exercise?

And Merchan sealed the portion of the transcript where he says the juror discussed “highly personal” information.

Sort of ironic that this guy was to sit on a jury where the supposed payment of "hush money" for a personal matter is being criminally charged.

It’s a show trial. All this jury selection stuff is theater.

what is interesting is that were originally thought to be a trump favorable juror, but it turns out they were a left-wing nut job with a history of tearing down republican campaign signs.

““Yesterday alone, I had friends and family push things to me,” the first dismissed juror stated. “I don’t think at this point that I can be fair and unbiased.”

Perhaps some people are putting pressure on jurors to render the “correct” verdict.

Any prospective juror who claims not to have heard about or discussed this case with anyone is a liar.

They would have to be waking up from an eight year long coma for that to be true.

Two options. Empanel a jury of 12 Biden supporters or have a bench trial with a judge who is a biden donor and who’s family gets direct payments from biden.
