Doesn't it require a unanimous verdict to convict though?

It only takes a single Trumper on the jury.

Which case?

That's the issue - is he going to get lucky every time?

Shouldn't be hard to find them out.

Shitgibbon demanding Judge in his DC case recuses herself because she's biased against him.

He's not kicking off about the Maga fan judging his Mar A Largo one.

Funny that.

This would be funny if it weren’t so fucking sad.

However, I will point out that grand juries have effectively all agreed to indict albeit my understanding is they are larger, only a majority or supermajority is needed and the standard of proof is lower. I have no idea if we even know what the votes were though they must be recorded somewhere I’d think.

Given that there was a single hold-out in the Georgia grand jury...

The juror who backed Trump and other Georgia grand jury takeaways

One member of the Georgia grand jury voted against charging Mr Trump - that will worry prosecutors.

Single hold-out.

See above.

There was a single hold out for Trump’s indictment in Georgia however it should be pointed out that many of the votes to indict others were actually unanimous.

That does somewhat suggest we’re not dealing with a totally irrational lunatic who mindlessly voted against everything regardless of evidence.

I think any MAGA Trumper is going to have it plastered all over their social footprint, be that social media or just speaking to friends and family. That would make for an instant disqualification from a jury like this which might actually make it much harder for a MAGA loon to get on there in the first place.

Agree although I'm no expert in the jury selection process. But knowing what Trump fans are like and how stupid they tend to be it wouldn't surprise anyone if they outed themselves at the first opportunity.

Their own stupidity is our best defence.

Kevin McCarthy: We have 3 weeks to cut a deal to avoid a US shutdown. What are we going to do? Start impeachment proceedings against Joe Biden for helping his son Hunter commit criminal acts.
