Special counsel Jack Smith on Tuesday filed a motion that urged U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan to put guardrails in place to protect the possible jurors in Donald Trumpās election-subversion case.
Former U.S. Army prosecutor Glenn Kirschner suggested Smith hadnāt just ātaken off the glovesā with the move. It ālooks like heās boxed them up, taped up the box, and sent them to long-term storage,ā Kirschner said on a new episode of his āJustice Mattersā podcast.
Smith encouraged Chutkan to streamline the jury selection process with a questionnaire for potential jurors, ban their details from being public, and prohibit direct contact between attorneys and jurors.
The motion referred to Republican 2024 front-runner Trumpās attack on social media of a court official in his civil fraud trial in New York, which prompted a judge to slap the former president with a gag order.
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed on June 19, 1953.
Roy Cohn was a prosecutor in that case, then went on to be Trumpās mentorā¦ Now, this could be the most ironic event ever. I think it could go a long way in repairing the improper understanding of āironicā, Ć” la Alanis Morisette.
