A full 12-person jury has been sworn in for ex-US President Donald Trump's historic criminal trial in New York City.

"We have our jury," Justice Juan Merchan declared after seven men and five women were selected for the panel. Two jurors had to be excused earlier.

Some thought jury selection might take weeks, but things moved quickly after Mr Trump's team ran out of challenges.

The court could hear opening arguments as soon as Monday.

The trial, the first ever in which a former US president is the defendant, stems from a hush-money payment to a porn star.

That was what made me suggest the rest will. And it will happen in his other cases too. There is a Russian hacker army at the ready.

The judge has since specifically prohibited press from disclosing employer information, so it seems les s likely.

Lol, you think the judge issuing a stern warning will stop it? I bet it's Trump's legal team leaking the info.

Wouldn't be the first New York Don to leverage jury intimidation as a court strategy

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Not like some of those press people are on trumps side or anything. sideyes fox,

Not even Russian hackers, just bored MAGAts who know how to work a few websites. If you know a few key pieces of information, you can find pretty much anyone in the US with relative ease.

They can't get the names of who is actually on the jury that way. That will take Putin.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That will take Putin.

Why do people assume a guy on the opposite side of the world has more leverage than the majority party of the country the case is happening in?

I swear to God, you wouldn't even know the GOP base exists the way people talk

I assume "a guy on the opposite side of the world" has a huge hacker army at his disposal.

Either Russian software and networking IT folks are a generation ahead of their American peers, our army of hackers (ie, the NSA - the world's largest employer of Mathematician PhDs) is completely asleep at the switch, or the call is coming from inside the house.

TIL, Putin is Chinese and the Southern District of New York jury pool is a pipeline company.

So you're saying the NSA could definitely catch Russian hackers hacking into the New York State criminal justice system computers but not catch Chinese hackers hacking into our national infrastructure?

Sounds like the NSA isn't very good at its job.

I'm saying that if I had to put money down on who will be outing a member of the Trump jury on my bingo card, I'd put a lot more dollars on "MAGA New Yorker who works at the New York State criminal justice office" than "Guy with a laptop in Moscow".

You don't need Russian hackers when Trump is a Russian asset.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

I mean, you really don't need the names, if you can narrow it down to say, every 34 year old black woman working at theaters in Detroit that's that's maybe 20 people tops and likely closer to 5. You could easily harass 5-20 locals on your own and MAGA likes it's flock mentality. If they're MAGA they'll just join in, if they're not they're dangerous antifa terrorists and it's god trumps divine order to ruin their lives.
