NY v. Trump: Judge reveals Facebook post implying juror discussed guilty verdict before trial concluded

@raphjd you can be sure that the judge did not want to reveal that, but he had to. This alone is grounds for a mistrial.

I think Merchan may be one who planted the news.
We will see, if Merchan declares mistrial. But he has several possible motives to.
First: Merchan would stop embarrassment of his blatantly fake & wrong trial being overturned on appeal.
Dems may think "mistrial" is their best outcome. Proceedings end & President Trump isn't really convicted, yet, Merchan's daughter can still say he was, in her fundraising.
Such Dems would be wrong because, every time they say "Trump is convicted felon" - they enrage ordinary people, to Trump's benefit.
But, it's a rare Dem who can see when she's wrong. Merchan & his fundraising daughter, could think that mistrial-limbo is their ideal result.
If Merchan has some smarts, his possible 2nd motive to declare mistrial: Make whole thing go away. Memory-hole it.
Smart Dems shit their pants lately, seeing Trump raise $400(!) million off his conviction, as his polls hold.
OR - exact opposite reason - if Merchan has really no brains at all - he may want a re-trial, to keep President Trump off campaign trail again.
I'm not sure if New York & USA law allows retrial. But if yes - Merchan could be going there.
Merchan & other Dems could be so stupid, they think that, to lock Trump down in New York again & have further trial headlines, would be good for them.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahah
Again: We will see........ what Merchan does, why & to what effect. Right now it's mid-play.
