      If you read the article, if he were to do so, he would risk…

      … Losing access to the names. That he already knew. And are now public.

        Only Trump’s lawyers and prosecutors will be allowed to know the addresses of the jurors’ homes and workplaces, Merchan said. Trump could risk forfeiting access to the names if he were to disclose them publicly.

        Wtf. I thought you were joking.

    I’m sure he will keep their names a secret as well as he kept classified documents secret in his shitter

      Just imagine if a juror said they don’t feel they could focus on the trial for fear of their life if they were to get doxed with no significant repercussions towards the defendant.

      Then imagine if that were said in front of other jurors

    So…. MAGALAND is going to have their names- and the jurors know this.

    I wonder how they’ll find the defendant now.

    So there will be a mistrial as the first jury list gets leaked, and Trump “loses access” to the information as the jury immediately starts to get death threats. In the next trial, the Jury names will be closely kept secrets.

    My optimistic side thinks this will be monitored, at least some of the names he gets will be wrong in ways that will identify him as the leaker when their names become public or they are harassed by MAGA types. My pessimistic side thinks this is the way our justice system works- with rules that don’t apply to wealthy or powerful people and even though he’s repeatedly set his flying monkeys after his enemies or those he wants to ‘go through some things’, they’ll let him because he’s innocent until proven guilty again

      It wouldn’t matter to him if he were caught or revealed, because they won’t lock him up for it, or anything else, and the jurors’ lives would still be in danger from his pet army of deniable accomplices.

    Weird. What benefit is there for Trump himself to know their identities? The judge agreed that they should be kept from the public, so why not just make them fully anonymous?
