The very simple fact that it's even a calculus in their minds means THE FIX IS IN. The court has an extraordinary latitude in insulating jurors from outside influence. The fact they chose not to use it...Pretty certain each one of them is considering the personal effect of an outcome that doesn't align with the mob.
It's all that has been occurring the last 12+ months with the attacks, getting fired, false prosecutions, families threatened, property destroyed, smeared in the media, etc all the while the police, FBI, .gov stand down (or are directly implicated in). None of this is lost on the GOP.
.Gov could do something here to protect the jurists but will they? Based on what we've seen in recent history ...
