The fix is is. This is so obscene. America is swirling down the toilet.
A fair trial is an impossibility. Which is the point.
A nurse, who was a potential juror, has been dismissed from the courtroom after she said she can’t be fair and unbiased against Donald Trump.
And New York Times reporter Susanne Craig describes a scene from inside Trump‘s jury selection where Judge Merchan allows a potential juror to remain even after Trump‘s lawyers highlighted a social media video she posted of people celebrating the 2020 election.

Since Monday, dozens of jurors filed into the Manhattan courtroom where President Trump has been standing trial in the case.
Responding to the jury selection process, President Trump wrote on Truth Social on Wednesday morning: “I thought STRIKES were supposed to be ‘unlimited’ when we were picking our jury? I was then told we only had 10, not nearly enough when we were purposely given the 2nd Worst Venue in the Country. Don’t worry, we have the First Worst also, as the Witch Hunt continues!”
The former president was likely referring to the voter base in Manhattan. During the 2020 election, voters in the city overwhelmingly cast ballots in favor of President Joe Biden, with only about 12 percent voting for President Trump.
Some legal analysts have said that it will be difficult for the former president to get a fair trial in New York City due to the Democrat-leaning jury pool.

JUST IN: One of the jurors was caught lying and may be removed from the trial. The juror, who said he found Trump "fascinating and mysterious,” and said he had no biased, may have lied about his criminal past.

Remarkable.

This prospective Trump juror was dismissed because of scheduling conflicts but told the court she could remain unbiased. Here she admits she’s “not a fan” of the President. If Trump gets a fair trial in New York it will require a not insignificant miracle. pic.twitter.com/1sV4zVcM9j

🚨 JUST IN: Judge Merchan decided that a juror who made multiple posts celebrating Biden and about joining a Biden Victory Party CAN in fact be IMPARTIAL in a criminal trial against Trump.
Why, you ask?
She says she thought she was joining an “essential worker party.”

By Chase Smith, Epoch Times, April 18, 2024:A juror who was seated on the jury for former President Donald Trump in the Manhattan ‘Hush-Money’ Trial earlier this week was excused on Thursday, saying she had concerns about her ability to be fair and impartial and had concerns about her identity being made public.
New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan called attorneys up to confer shortly after taking the bench on Thursday, April 18, saying that the woman also known as “Juror 2” had slept on the decision overnight and informed the court she wished to be dismissed.
She was sworn in earlier in the week with six others, including one alternate, on the second day of the trial.
She was brought into the room and said after thinking about it, she has friends, colleagues, and family that “push things” and outside influences that would likely affect her impartiality. She added that she had been identified as a juror from news reports.
The juror, an oncology nurse, said her family and friends had questioned her about whether or not she was a juror based on media reports. The judge in turn ordered journalists to refrain from publishing information about the juror’s current and prior jobs.
Justice Merchan said, “as evidenced by what’s happened already, it’s become a problem,” according to the AP. The answers also will be redacted from court transcripts.
Prosecutors additionally asked for the employer question to be removed from the questionnaire asked to jurors, while the judge disagreed with the argument and said it was necessary information.
Twelve jurors must be sworn in, with the judge saying he anticipated opening statements to begin possibly next week.
Also in court on Thursday, prosecutors asked for the former president to be held in contempt for what they said were social media posts that violated a gag order that bars him from attacking witnesses, according to the Associated Press.
Those posts, prosecutors argued, included an article referring to witness and former Trump attorney Michael Cohen as a serial perjurer and another by a Fox News personality that liberals were disguising their true motives to be seated on the jury.
