this is Michael popock legal AF 40 Willis doesn't just care about the security and personal safety of jurors she cares about the 19 co-conspirators and their right to a Sixth Amendment
00:00:14
right to Fair trial under the U.S Constitution how do I know that because she just filed a motion to restrict the identity of jurors with the court arguing that if we don't
00:00:26
protect the identity the image the address personal detail information from getting into the Press then it's not just that the jurors personal Securities
00:00:38
at risk it's that the in the interest of Justice in the justice system the 19 co-conspirators right to a fair trial is jeopardized because who's going to want to serve on a jury
00:00:51
in in which their personal Liberty life and security is put at risk no one and another little tidbit from the filing that foughty Willis just made just to reinforce it she predicts and
00:01:04
tells the court in her filing that this will be lean in for this one a six-month to one year trial that that there's no way for instance to
00:01:16
anticipate the argument to just sequester the jury right that works on television and plays and movies where the jury of 12 Angry whatever have to stay in a hotel or overnight or for a
00:01:28
couple of weeks say goodbye to their loved ones cut themselves off from the internet and from media that doesn't work in real life not when you have a one-year potential trial think about that number for a minute well it's what
00:01:40
happens when you indict 19 people and you have 37 counts including a sprawling Rico count that in intersects with seven Battleground States you get a year it's going to take her a month to pick a jury
00:01:53
I mean she has to pick a jury under Georgia law apparently in the first term if you will of this court session so she's got 30 days to pick a jury sounds easy but it really isn't when she hasn't
00:02:05
had to face somebody requesting speedy trial C Ken chespro C Sydney Powell who are going to trial on October 23rd by the way this year because they asked for it not anticipating it would be that
00:02:19
fast I'm sure but when you have at least two of your 19 that are being tried quickly then everybody has to get sped up and all the process has to be sped up so she's got to pick that jury for Ken chespro and Sydney Powell within a month
00:02:33
the broader case with all these other the remaining 17 a group of which that are trying to go to Federal Court some of those that are trying to drag the entire case to federal court and then there's a group that's rooted in Georgia
00:02:45
it's like we're fine with Fulton County we just don't want to go in October your honor this is all the things that have to be arranged so 40 Willis is taking the position right now this could be a one-year trial of 19 people your honor got to protect these jurors look what
00:02:58
happened with the 23 Grand jurors whose names under Georgia law were listed on the indictment of Donald Trump just a couple of weeks ago all of their data was scraped from social media and the internet
00:03:12
financial data politics data who they who they donate to where they worship where they went to school where they live the GPS coordinates and was placed on a Russian based platform because if
00:03:25
you're a right-wing nut conspiracy theorists where else would you go but post all your things on a Russia hosted website most of those people probably don't even realize it's a Russia hosted website but Russia in in a continuing
00:03:40
its cold war campaign against the United States wants to divide American from American and does it by hosting and promoting right-wing conspiracy uh theorist type things attacking democracy
00:03:53
Democrats Biden elections supporting Trump and the like so you're bought and paid for by Russians those that support this level of theory and Donald Trump and what he did just just so you know
00:04:06
that as long as you're fine with it I'm okay with it but I'm just letting you know that we know that because funny Willis put that in her motion that that the Department of Homeland Security the the Federal Department of Homeland Security
00:04:19
has tried for instance to take down the names of the 23 docs grand grand jurors but have been unsuccessful because it's controlled by Russians and they're just not cooperating with American uh
00:04:32
intelligence American Security uh agencies write this at this moment so let's put that aside for a minute so phony Willis is asking for is that the identity of the jurors the actual jurors that are selected soon you know the 12
00:04:46
or so men and women of Fulton County or in the Atlanta area that the Press doesn't report about them doesn't reveal details about their background
00:04:58
doesn't give their GPS units I mean phony Willis gave her own example in the motion she said she's been doxed her team her staff of prosecutors and investigators have been doxed down to
00:05:11
the GPS coordinates of where they live and that's been intertwined with racist attacks right and and messages to assassinate her and her team so she's
00:05:23
put that front and center but it was a very cold and sober motion focused not on protect me your honor I'm a prosecutor I need to be protected or protect the jurors even it was Sixth
00:05:37
Amendment right to a fair trials being jeopardized it impeded by the jurors identities being revealed because we just saw what happened with the grand jurors and who's going to want to serve on a jury and they'll take it out on the
00:05:49
19 defendants including Trump if you don't do something about it so that motion is now pending with the judge he's got as context the 23 Grand jurors who were doxxed who let whose
00:06:03
information ended up according to this motion by 40 Willis on a Russian hosted website think of the irony of that where they can't take it down it's so bad for the grand jurors we haven't really
00:06:14
talked about them in the last two or three weeks that phony Willis revealed in her motion and attached an affidavit that the Fulton County Sheriff's Office and the Atlanta public defender uh police department PD are in the process
00:06:28
and have a plan to protect the grand jurors who have already indicted let alone these jurors so now we're going to hear I guess in some way shape or form from the other 19
00:06:40
co-conspiratory defendants in the case each one of them having their own lawyers oh hey I didn't see you there look everyone knows how annoying cheap razors are the cuts the irritation the frustration and don't get me started

00:09:21
handicap this at this moment I'll give you a recent example Donald Trump had a civil case brought by E Gene Carroll in New York in federal court related to his
00:09:33
sexually assaulting slash raping her and defaming her to boot that judge on his own judge Lewis Kaplan federal judge decided that based on Donald Trump's own behavior and conduct
00:09:47
attacking prosecutors and their families judges and their families jurors and their families Grand jurors and their families and the judicial process overall that the jurors needed to be protected and so he without really too
00:10:01
much input made a decision that the jurors should be anonymous an anonymous jury in New York and any other place is generally used in organized crime criminal cases because they're worried about the jury getting
00:10:15
bumped off by somebody in organized crime this was a civil case over money damages against a former president and businessman yet the yet the judge felt it was his duty
00:10:28
to exercise his discretion to make the jury Anonymous and in that case surprisingly Alina Haba remember her she's now some sort of TV commentator for Donald Trump no longer trying cases
00:10:41
she's been sidelined mainly because she's lost every case she's ever handled for him involving John 6 and everything else but Joe takapina coloring book Joe takapita busy doing a lot of nothing who
00:10:52
lost the Aging Carol Case the first Eugene Carroll case and is in the process of losing the second e Gene Carroll case already see my other hot take um they didn't object to the judge's uh
00:11:05
folk Focus or um preference to have a Anonymous jury in a civil case involving aging Carol and defamation and so they didn't oppose and so it happened and we could report and we did every day on the Aging Carroll case in
00:11:21
the Midas touch network but we couldn't talk about the jurors and we couldn't there were no sketches of the jurors Vice courtroom artists and no photos of them and no information about them it's the way it should be so there's already
00:11:31
precedent precedence for it although phony didn't really focus as much on that there is precedent for it and of course not only is Judge McAfee seen what judge Kaplan did in New York related to Donald Trump he also knows
00:11:45
what happened to the 23 Grand jurors when they weren't protected and their identities weren't protected and they ended up in a place that even law enforcement for the U.S is be it's beyond their reach they can't make the
00:11:57
Russians and the Chinese stop fomenting discontent and trying to separate American from American which is what's been happening that's that is the Dirty Little Secret
00:12:08
of where we're at right now with Americans at each other's throats politically it's being created caused on purpose by the Chinese and the Russians who are manipulating people
00:12:22
through um use of phony websites and other disinformation campaigns being run which is a type of warfare that's being run
00:12:34
against the American people and they're falling for it right the Chinese and the Russians are using social media to create discontent and separate American from American and it's working and the one party in this
00:12:46
country has fallen for it and that is the right-wing Maga Republican party and the Democrats haven't because we have shows like this one where we talk about it honestly without blowing smoke or sunshine I'm gonna follow on the Midas
