The jury wasn't sequestered so for all we know she could've been binge watching Hannity at night.
People lie during jury selection. Some really want to get on a jury.
The mistrial counts have to be retried. Look at the state of that juror ffs?
Think this shit is going to set alarm bells ringing. Jurors openly chanting MAGA.

Decent chance at least one or two jurors would be Trump fans. The question is, how the hell did they make it through the jury screeninig process.
Agreed. You'd think their bulging eyes, MAGA hats, and semi automatic weapons would give the game away.
Not very wise timing if he does, to say the least.
Wow
Erm you don't get immunity for free do you?
"The market would crash. Everyone would be very poor, because without this (pointing to his head) thinking, you would see numbers you wouldn't believe"
This is the fecking President? I really feel like I entered the twilight zone.
Isn't it already pretty much guaranteed that they will?
This just keeps piling up for Trump.
I thought it was still up in the air as they'll want to decide if that's the best use of their time and resources. Had it been a bigger split, it probably wouldn't be but at 10-1 they should be comfortable with the evidence they put forth. I believe they have until next week to make an official decision.
They really are closing in the walls on trump. He's going to do something drastic soon
Very surreal watching the President and AG entangled in a public cold war.
He would be really dumb to try something this close to the mid terms, as it could mean the entire congress going Dem
Constitutional crisis coming soon
Read some thoughts on Twitter that this is probably Graham putting Trump in check a bit. He's cornered now and the public reaction to this potential plan should probably keep Trump from pulling the trigger.
Let's hope. Any move against Sessions, whether before or after the midterms, would be viewed as an attempt to get his hands on Mueller (which itself would be widely interpreted as an attempt to obstruct). All things said, Trump is fecked since there are increasingly few moves he can make to escape getting check mated.
Also, he thinks he's playing checkers
Meeting about prison reform but wouldn't surprise me if he was sacked after leaving the White House (Trump won't do it face to face). Timing of Sessions' statement was deliberate. Think he knows something is going down soon.
It looks like we are at defcon-2 .
Trump should probably focus more on his own case than scheming on ways to obstruct it from proceeding. As it stands, he is currently dealing with a three front war - Mueller, SDNY, and state charges in NY.
The day of reckoning of coming for the GOP. This man is going to sack Sessions.

How can you take a jury like this seriously?
It's hilarious that all the discussion on Trump impeding Mueller - how to do it, when to do it, the ramifications - inherently assumes that Mueller's investigation is going to end badly for Trump. If there was no collusion, no conspiracy, etc, then a clean Mueller report would be the golden ticket for Trump 2020. But of course that just simply will not happen because it's not the truth. The GOP are at least in some part acknowledging that inevitability so I guess that's progress.
More flipping flippers . No wonder trump thinks this should be illegal
Flippin hell!
So Pecker spills the juice?
I still don't know whether to somewhat admire Sessions or not. He s obviously a scumbag in his own right but he is also doing the country a big service in a way by staying rooted as if he s the only immovable object in this whole thing. I can't help but think he is the GOP's version of a safe word.
No.
Nah feck Sessions. The family separation policy, ICE's brutality, etc is his doing. He deserves no credit for just now coming to the realization that Trump is a coward who eventually screws over everyone.
You re exactly right. Shows how easy it is to forget about the bad things with the constant barrage coming out of this administration. Was also watching a Frontline documentary about MS13 and kids being locked up for supposedly being members without due process and without real evidence.. Being falsely accused without a way to quickly secure their release. To be fair - that was also a Rosenstein thing but at least he owned it by allowing himself to be interviewed for it.
Having said all that.. My belief he acts like a sort of safe word still stands. Clearly when it comes down to it, they can hold him up as some sort of symbol of any sense of morality if Trump is ousted and make the population forget about DoJs mistakes.
Sessions is putting up with trump humiliating him because hes able to deport people and split up families. That is his life's work.
I don't understand why people are expecting normal voters to change their opinion on the basis of Manfort verdict. The charges like tax evasion etc are least likely turn current Trump supporters against him. In this case of this juror too, she at least put her bias aisde and judged the case on the merit of the evidence.
If Trump thought he could get rid of Sessions he'd do it. If he genuinely thought shutting down the Mueller investigation was an option open to him, he'd do it. To my mind the fact he keeps threatening to replace Sessions and end the Mueller probe is simply a sign of his frustration at knowing he isn't able to, at least not without making things far worse than they already are.
Yes, exactly. It's a small price to pay for someone that devoted to the cause. And let's not forget he's the who legitimized Stephen Miller.
If you guys haven't read the full plea deal and the amount of evidence the government has against trump you should honestly read it. Its amazing
First of all it basically confirms that the agreement with Daniels isn't an NDA it's a full blown settlement agreement. Unlike a confidentiality agreement /NDA a settlement agreement can only be done if you have compromising claims.
So when trump says he only did it to keep her quiet from saying fake news that's garbage (not that we didn't know but the government and Cohen have basically confirmed it is) The settlement agreement means stormy herself has evidence about the affair and both parties agreed that it happened. Pretty hilarious.
Also a part in the notes shows that Pecker brought not just McDougal but stormy Daniels to Cohen attention. Where Cohen would pay pecker for keeping it out of the news.
Trump organisation payed back Cohen in installments in 2017 and they paid for it through the Trump charity fund. Alan Weiselberg sanctioned everything and they literally have all the emails and receipts to prove this.
Pecker flipping is just fantastic
