I make this prediction. I will have a Told You So moment

[prodigitalson]

Donald Trump will try to bibe or threaten a juror. probably bribe

and he'll get caught

take it to the bank

[RKP5637]

1. Yep, sounds about right! n/t

[Walleye]

2. I'm betting he has been on the phone to Judge Cannon already

[QED]

3. The mob boss wannabe will try something to intimidate.

And he or whomever acts for him will be so clumsy at it he'll get caught. We'd probably see a Don Jr video bragging about it. He'll definitely try something because he thinks he's so smart and the laws don't apply to him.

[FakeNoose]

13. If he does that he goes straight to prison, am I right?

"Go straight to jail. Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200."

[Meadowoak]

4. Yeah, but we have to wait 3 years till someone writes a tell all book to find out?

[joshdawg]

5. and his wrist will get slapped.

DAMMIT!

[joshdawg]

29. thanks for posting

buh bye.

[Beastly Boy]

6. Hey, that's not much of a prediction!

The challenge is, how many jurors is he going to try to bribe?

Now THAT's an I told you so-worthy prediction!

[LakeArenal]

7. If you were a juror, would you believe he'd actually pay?

[JohnnyRingo]

8. I think he'll try intimidation first. It's cheaper

I don't think he'll do it directly either. He'll put someone else up to it and get caught that way.

You're right though.

[czarjak]

9. It's in the mix. Any means necessary.

[jcgoldie]

10. It will be a perfect call

No doubt about that!

[Lonestarblue]

11. I hope the jurors are in a separate room, as they were for the George Floyd murder trial.

Neither Trump nor his attorneys need to get a look at the jurors or surreptitiously photograph them so they can be ID’d for Trump’s goons to threaten. I suspect Trump is too afraid of Judge Chutkan to do any threatening himself.

[FakeNoose]

12. That's a good point - hooray for 21st century technology!

The jury can be totally sequestered, yet not miss a thing that's going on in the main room.

I hope Jack Smith has the authority to order that up.

[wnylib]

21. If they find out the jurors' names, which

they might be able to do with threats or bribes to someone in the court system, they can get their addresses, phone numbers, and posdibly find some online photos or driver's licenses.

In today's world, I don't th8nk that anonymity is possible.

[no_hypocrisy]

14. Roger Stone will nearly kill himself to get the names of the impaneled jurors.

[central scrutinizer]

15. Stochastic terrorism

He will obliquely threaten all the jurors and count on an unhinged MAGAt (no shortage of those) to carry out the act. “I take no responsibility at all”

[PortTack]

16. Oh no doubt. But..JMO I think the odds are against him

1. The j/6 case and the case coming out of GA, they know he will try and are ready for it. If loose cannon trie’s something funny in FL she may, like in the past get away with it, temporarily. But she may land herself in jail if not careful

2. We’re talking about 3 jury pools, they aren’t going to be able to mess with all 3..again…JMO

[prodigitalson]

32. out of all of those jurors in all of those cases (and I mean the trial juries/not the grand juries)

there is no way, with access to all those people's identities, that he isn't going to tamper with someone somehow.

tamapering is literally what he does...when it come to everything

[PortTack]

34. I believe sources are saying the case in DC and most likely in GA will be innominate.

Not sure he has enough clout left to convince anyone to help him find a juror. He’s not going to be able to pay them. His threats of blackmail or politcal power grows weaker by the day.

[Siwsan]

17. I wonder if he and John Gotti were acquaintances.

That was pretty much his modus operandi.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

26. I'm sure they knew of each other

I doubt Gotti associated with someone stupid enough to bankrupt a casino. He wasn't the brightest guy out there, but he wasn't incompetent from it, either. He always struck me as the type to have a zero-tolerance policy for stupid and incompetent, and I don't think it mattered if such a putz worked for him or not. Losers surround themselves with losers, and, no matter what else could be said about him, Gotti wasn't a loser.

A violent psychopath, sure. But not a loser.

[msfiddlestix]

30. According to documentary's I had seen in 2017, they were very well acquainted

at the moment, I'm blanking out on the investigator's name, his book and film. The book was used however, in the making of the film Gotti that released in 2018 I think. Very interesting film, though I do not recall tfg's name was referenced in that film.

[ThoughtCriminal]

18. Trumpies worship him for free

He just needs one for a mis-trial. But he now has multiple jury pools to worry about.

I keep thinking back to Gov. Symington's (AZ) fraud and extortion trial. There was one juror, a Republican Precinct leader who told multiple lies to get on the jury and refused to deliberate. The other jurors asked the judge to have her removed, which happened, and the stand-by juror that replaced her voted with the other 11 to convict. Symington successfully appealed on the basis that the juror was improperly removed. Before a new trial was started, Symington was pardoned by President Clinton. I don't think the reason for the pardon was ever explained except that Symington had once saved Clinton from drowning while working as a life guard.

[msfiddlestix]

31. That's a shame.

The real world of power and influence over justice does so much damage to the systems we, as a society, need to have faith in.

it's the accumulation of that sort of thing, to the point of common place which is enormously destructive.

fixing it is nearly impossible to accomplish when it is so wide spread and deeply embedded.

[gab13by13]

19. Keep the jurors' names anonymous.

[jerseyjim]

20. He will do anything to avoid the orange jump suit. He's desperate. n/t

[Auggy74]

22. I thought he liked orange?

I mean look at how he slathers it on his face every time he shows up in public.

Geez, you think you know a guy...

[rubbersole]

23. A couple of prison tats to enhance the look...

..'Born too loose' or 'No Regerts' would work.

[RandySF]

24. Somebody will try do it on his behalf.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

25. I dunno

If it's a bribe, it won't be money. He's too selfish for that, so it would have to be something else. A high-paying government job if he's re-elected sounds about his speed.

Intimidation is cheaper and easier.

[canetoad]

28. K & R

For the idea, even though I don't really think it will happen. It's more plausible that rather than bribe, he threatens.

[617Blue]

33. ...and he will suffer no consequences. Take that to the bank.
