The so-called party of “law & order” is so dangerous that the Judge ruling over Trump’s sexual abuse conviction trial is compelled to warn jurors to remain anonymous “for a long time,” lest harm come to them.😳

The is the GOP today. Smh. Horrible.

@QasimRashid I'm curious, what keeps Trump's side from leaking juror identities? I assume his lawyer has the info. I do not trust the guy, for obvious reasons.

If Trumps lawyer doxxes the members of the jury.
He will be disbarred for engaging in a criminal activity.

And what would be in it for Trump's lawyers to do this? They may be supporters of their client, and they may not. But even if they are, it's a big risk to take with little return to them if they do it (and, as we've seen, they don't even know their names).

@stevensrmiller @antipode77 @QasimRashid

People around Trump contort themselves to please him, or else they're out of his inner circle, and he seems to treat his lawyers as enforcers. But as others have pointed out, it's unlikely due to the jury being anonymous even to the lawyers, and the risk of being disbarred. That's what I was hoping to find out, and now I know.
