  1. Today I'm in the San Francisco Hall Of Justice #Jury room. Don't know if I will get picked as a #juror, but i hope it is for a criminal #ElectionInterrerance case with lots of docs to review!

    I spotted a Bail Bond place here, but if I was out on bail, I wouldn't worry about it being revoked. I'd just say, "I'm running for President!" The judge would laugh & throw me in the pokey.

    One thing for my friend @augieray about 100 people here I & one clerk are the only ones masked. #CovidIsNotOver

  3. #Opinion: That #scowl. The #gagorder. A frightened #juror.Who’s on #trial a former #president or a #mobboss
    It’s downright disturbing to contemplate the similarities between the Donald’s hush money trial and that of an #organizedcrimedon.

    It’s no surprise that few vigil the courthouse where the Don has been in the dock. After all, if you’ve seen one trial of a mob boss in Gotham, you’ve seen ‘em all.

  5. #Conroy says that #Trump “violates the order when he posts about known #witnesses or reasonably forseeable witnesses,” & “violates the order when he posts about a #juror or prospective juror.”

    + Throwing a "#MAGA" into a post doesn't make it #political, Conroy says, dismissing the idea that Trump's comments fall under the category of protected political speech. It may, in fact, make it more ominous, Conroy adds.

  7. #Conroy says #Trump violated the #GagOrder when on Truth Social, he quoted #FauxNews commentator #JesseWatters characterization of prospective jurors as “undercover liberal activists." Prosecutors flagged this as the most serious of the violations & Conroy now says it’s “very troubling."
    Conroy points to the timing, last Wed evening. The next morning, Juror2 asked to be excused, upsetting Justice #Merchan. He complimented the #juror after excusing her, saying she would have done a good job.

  9. Lawyers indicated that their opening statements will take a little more than an hour combined. Justice Juan #Merchan also noted that one #juror reached out before court resumed to express nervousness about the media attention surrounding the case, but the judge added that the juror is still here.

    One #juror in former US president Donald Trump’s criminal case in New York has been excused over fears she could be identified. It could get even messier.

  13. Someone who's this angry about being rejected as a #juror after being caught lying about past criminal charges is exactly the type of person who shouldn't be on the #jury. This guy clearly had an agenda, and was rightly dismissed. Great work by #JudgeMerchan and the prosecutor!

  17. #TrumpTrial🧵 cont’d

    One prospective #juror said he only reads the New York Post & the New York Daily News. In other words, he's a NY unicorn.

    At another point he said he only has a flip phone. "And therefore I do not *watch* any podcasts," he says, elliciting laughter.

    The man says he has no friends or family who have been convicted of a #crime, but quickly amends his answer, more loudly, to no "close friends."

  19. The first potential #juror that is being questioned this morning says she has previously worked as a #law clerk for the federal government & has discussed the #legal merits of this case w/many of her coworkers. Justice #Merchan asks if that would influence her if she’s chosen for the jury. She paused before saying she could be fair, but then added: “It is hard to unring a bell.” [no doubt. I couldn’t be on this #jury]

  21. #Merchan is now saying that the DA’s office came across information about juror #4 that called the veracity of that juror's answers into questions. The juror did not arrive at court on time.

    The judge notes that the #juror was asked to be here at 9:15 & is still not here, & he expressed some reluctance to come in this morning. He is letting the parties discuss whether to dismiss the juror or wait for him.

  23. A Manhattan DA prosecutor, Joshua Steinglass, said that #juror 4 or someone w/ their name seems to have been #arrested in the 1990s in Westchester for tearing down #political ads. After some more research, he says, they also found that the juror's wife was previously involved in a #corruption inquiry & cooperated w/ the DA's office. This means that the juror, if they've identified the right person, #lied in response to one of the questions on the questionnaire.

    "That's not fair," #Trump atty Susan Necheles said of being denied the info.

    "I have the #legal authority to do it,” he says of blocking the press from reporting info about jurors' employers.

    "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.

    A #juror was quickly dismissed at the start. She was among the 7 already selected, she said she was very worried that despite the fact the court ruled to keep jurors’ name secret, she would still be exposed & targeted.

  33. #Merchan: “Such concerns will undoubtedly #interfere w/the fair administration of #justice & constitutes a direct attack on the #RuleOfLaw itself. Again, all citizens, called upon to participate in these proceedings, whether as a #juror, a #witness, or in some other capacity, must now concern themselves not only w/their own personal #safety, but w/the safety & the potential for personal attacks upon their loved ones. That reality cannot be overstated.”
