Really?

The deep state is scared to death.

I read that a minute ago. US Marshals no less doing the guarding. Raylan Givens and company must not be in the deep state.

He has received threats over the course of this case.

Is he being threatened by anti-Trumpers?

Is he being threatened by pro-Trumpers?

Is he being threatened by anti-Trumpers blaming it on pro-Trumpers?

Any combination or all of these? Who knows?

BTW- One the standard duties of the U.S. Marshals is federal court security.

I just heard on the radio that CNN is demanding the names of the jurors be released. I guess they want to pressure the jurors to render the proper verdict.

@Houghmade

From what little I've followed of the trial, I wonder if some of the threats are from the local trial lawyers' association. The judge seems to have a very high opinion of himself.

The Judge is obviously doing something right.

We'll have a clearer idea about that in about 18 months - 2 years when the appellate decision is published.

So what happened to the sixth amendment here? Or is that fast for them.

No, if it were deep state, the judge would simply have a bad accident a couple years from now and be killed. I dont think they would telegraph.

 

[flightsimmer]

My (feeling, if I can trust it) is that there is way more at stake here than Paul Manafort, he's just the patsy in a far bigger game and people are getting closer to the truth and those in the @real deep state are starting to sweat.

I've already made my list of those who are guilty of serious crimes against the U.S. Constitution.

As Peter Strozk famously said "I can smell them" LOL.

He's already had his speedy trial....or rather, is having.

That sounds like the Clinton M.O., better get the Hurst ready. LOL

Doesn't apply to appeals. (For good or bad.)

There were too many stories of Hillary's body odor from Secret Service to cabinet members. I think this about covers how bad it is...

I heard this song was written soon after Hillary met the band Lynyrd Skynyrd....

So you’re saying that he fits in with most Article III judges then.

I kinda thought that would be obvious given how many decades it takes to kill a death row inmate. Will the jury deliberate on a Saturday? I'm going to laugh myself hoarse if he gets off.

Nope, they are off until Monday.

Judge Ellis says he won't release jurors names because he has received threats, says he goes everywhere with U.S. Marshals
