Has Trump already polluted the jury pool?

Because he has criticized each and every prosecutor and judge in each of his four indictments.

Also, he has criticized Jack Smith, the Special Counsel, and Joe Biden's DOJ.

Just one of those criticisms would have been enough to pollute the jury pool, in my opinion.

And I suppose he has no plans on stopping his verbal assaults anytime before any trial?

It's going to be a real task to try and find an unbiased jury, in my opinion.

He's polluted the entire country! Seriously, what person in the US does NOT know about Trump and his BS?

He must like her as much as he likes Putin. He's the only other person I never heard him attack.

You cannot convince me there’s an impartial juror in this country. I just hope most of them are on the sane side.

Listening to the facts would unbrainwash the deplorables who could end up on the jury.

Probably just wishful thinking.

She doesn't have the experience or skills to set the tone for a jury to do the right thing. Most judges do. And another thing is, don't underestimate the ability of right-thinking jurors to reel in the few jurors who are rogues once deliberations begin.
