Conservatives can't be trusted to serve in public positions. They will literally always ditch their principles – if they ever had any in the first place – to serve their political goals, naturally claiming that this is what "the left" does so it's OK for then to do it too
edit: this is why any sort of jury trial for Trump is probably doomed to fail. Any conservative jurors will favor him no matter what, and will absolutely lie about their plans to do so in the selection process
revenge of the edit: so the NY conviction was by a jury, happy surprise
Did you see trump was convicted on all counts in the NY false documents trial?
I was surprised too...
I just hadn't realized it was a jury trial, but that's definitely a positive surprise
New York yes, because Florida our Georgia will be much harder to get a conviction out of a jury.
Facts are facts bro. New York was a jury trial and the Trump team HELPED SELECT THE JURORS. This is exactly how the unbiased system is supposed to work.
Yeah, we'll see bub.
Yes we will princess.
The fresh round of 34 convictions was from a jury trial. Get jury selection right and he's toast
Oh damn, was it? I'm actually surprised at that
Though I agree, I think they're worried about how to select a jury that is allowed to see the evidence.
I mean, those with high enough security clearances are less likely to be seen as impartial by Drumpfs supporters. (Not that they see anything but full and undying support as impartial) and more likely (so I would suspect) to convict than those who don't have security clearances.
People at any clearance level have been asking since day one how he is still able to see sunlight. Day 1 classification training explicitly lays out penalties.
Jurors are not issued security clearances.

AI summary of the process using the article and other sources -
The process of presenting classified information at a trial involves careful adherence to the Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA), which provides a framework for handling such sensitive materials while balancing national security interests and the defendant's right to a fair trial.
Pretrial Procedures:
Defense Counsel Clearance:
Use at Trial:
Jury Considerations:
Interlocutory Appeals:
This structured approach aims to protect classified information while upholding the integrity of the judicial process.
Considering it's essentially all classified..... that's gonna be a huge pain to try and follow.
they might lie, but are they intelligent enough not to get caught? extremely unlikely. Conservatives are always super responsive to fear (because their amygdalas are wired wrong and prevent them from being creative and empathetic) so the smurt ones are going to be deterred by the consequences, and the ones who have nothing to lose are going to conceive of themselves as martyrs and believe they are innocent even though that's not what their church is probably telling them.
I think there's relatively little risk of this.
And jury selection can always try to find the few conservatives who do have a backbone. I'm sure they have to exist, despite all appearances
I just think she is lacking intelligence.
Well she is a conservative.... Are you surprised?
Legal experts think she is trying to help Trump. Imma go with their opinions on this one.
She is also stupid though.
Of course she is, but she's also clearly favoring Trump.
I dunno the general opinion seemed to be that she was a competent, if not particularly outstanding, judge before she started getting Trump's cases. Looks like a pretty cut and dried case of bias to me, presumably with an eye to getting a(nother) leg up in her career if he becomes president again to add a little spice of blatant corruption to the mix.
