You literally are. You are arguing this jury could not POSSIBLY have been unbiased and that the only reason they didn't convict is because of their political leanings. Which means the only outcome you would have accepted here is a jury which simply agreed with the prosecution, regardless of how terrible their case.

I don't think anyone who is sympathetic to either side should be on the jury.

You are literally dismissing the jury's verdict because they didn't convict someone who is involved in politics based on a COMPLETELY made up theory that the jurors could not possibly have been unbiased and judged the case simply on the strength of the evidence.

Again, you are openly advocating for fascism.

Hmmm....I wonder what her name is. Perhaps one of the people claiming to know everything about everyone on that jury will post it for us.

Why would anyone want to know?

Except for those wishing to dox her maybe?

What does that even mean? Only people have never voted and/or pay no attention to politics are allowed to be on juries? Do you hear yourself?

People actively advocating for dictatorial control of the country, in which political operatives should automatically be convicted.

You do know that both sides cooperate and question potential jurors before the trial starts.

Then they agree on who gets seated.

Did you know that?

The transcripts he said he read but then disappeared from the thread when he was asked to provide a link.

I don't think, if you are talking about the same poster I remember speaking of "transcripts", was talking about audio transcripts and had posted links to the source he said he was listening to each evening.

I do know that. Each side is given a certain number of dismissals for no reason other than they don't like them.

I've been reading for 2 years that the Durham Report was coming out any day and would be the end of all those nasty librul people who didn't like Herr Trump.

This is what the smart people call an "epic fail".

It was always about a counter-narrative to obscure the issue.

The lemmings that repeated it were just doing their service to Trump/GOP schemes.

Good, some progress.

And each side agrees, and the trial starts, right?

Don't forget the judge can also make dismissals.

And, is the losing side going to do something about this so called rigged group of jurors?

LOL

No, that the defense and the prosecution both try to get a jury that's favorable to their side. In this case the defense (with the help of the judge) tiltled the scales on their side.

Sounds like by Friday Fox n' fiends of the rest of RWE media will be presenting at least a member of the Sussman jury who
will claim they voted for acquittal because they began receiving death threats by the second day of the trial.
If your suspicions had any merit, consider that the jury, between Friday after court adjourned and before noon today when the verdict
announcement was delivered, and the jury's other activities, voting for a foreman on Friday, getting the instructions from the judge and
the evidence exhibits organized in preparation for deliberations, the jury could not have deliberated more than four hours.

If the verdict was pre-ordained as you suspect, wouldn't these prejudiced jurors have engaged in longer deliberations, perhaps for a full
day, in the hope of lessening suspicions of folks like yourself?

Other than moan and groan and go on the speaking circuit to whine about being cheated, nah, I don't think so. I would not be surprised to hear of some doxing incidents, I pray not, but it wouldn't surprise me.
