Judge receiving threats and is being guarded by marshals, the media demanding to identify juror names and addresses. Almost sounds like Columbia during the Pablo days. This special council is a disaster for our country, it’s only made the far left even more deranged.
It is absolutely BS for the news media to demand info on these jurors. They intend to DOX them if they don’t convict Manafort on all counts. They will research their whole families, cost them their job, you name it.
It should be illegal for any info to be released on any jury– period.
ANTIFA and their Democratic supporters are out of control. The only thing that will stop them is a Civil war. We must crush them the same way we Crushed the Nazis and their allies.
Wouldn't getting rid of the FAs be a better first step?

Just how is it a disaster Colorado?!
Too many guilty pleas?!
Too many indictments?!
Too many plea deals?!
Learning too much about Russian interference?!
Should we all just forgetabout Russia’s interference?!
Not sure Colorado, but, I bet that virtually none of the indicted etc. are “far left and deranged!”
If you don't like The Special Council, then blame it on your far right deranged friends and Trump. If Trump hadn’t partnered w/Putin we wouldn’t all be having so much fun watching this Soap Opera!

Maybe Trump will get their security clearance take away. Or get them fired from their job due to a tweet. Or call one of them a dog. Or call them a corporate elitist if they work for a large company. Or accuse them of being an indoctrinated liberal if they work for a university.
If one of them owns a business, Trump might suggest a boycott.
If any of their family members ever held public office or ran for public office or worked for a politician, he'll accuse the juror of being "establishment", out to rig the trial.
Or maybe Trump will handpick those which are registered Democrats and say it was a Democratic which hunt(while ignoring those registered as Republicans).
Just like he has done for anyone in the Mueller investigation or the FBI.. he'll use his powers to have someone comb through every inch of their background and attack their reputation.
He'd look for excuses to pardon Manafort, and say it's because Juror 9's son is an intern for a Democratic Mayor's office. Or because Juror 4 is a University Political Science Professor. Or Juror 3 works for the newspaper. Even if #3 is a sales manager, he'd be accused of being part of the evil media out to get Trump.
And the Republicans in Congress would look the other way. And Trumpists cheer and agree. And Putin laughs. And America loses. And the Blue Wave grows.

I’m w/Scare2cod and Pilgrim on this...
If I was called to be on a jury and I knew that the lawyers, press, Trump, ANYONE, would get my name, address etc. I’d find a way to get off the jury:
“Judge, the defendant is guilty - it’s obvious - I can tell by looking at him” would be my get outta jury (jail) card
Pilgrim, is anyone suggesting anything more than Manafort paying fine and going to jail?
From what it seems, Manafort doesn’t have the $money to pay his unpaid taxes.....
Or the twelve million dollars to pay off his bank loan.
