Mistrial? Trump 'Hush Money’ Judge Suggests Juror May Have Had Predetermined Guilty Verdict
The judge in the Trump 'hush money’ case, Juan Merchan, just issued a very strange note to both parties indicating that a comment made on the court’s Facebook page suggests that one of the jurors may have arrived at a 'guilty’ verdict before the end of the trial, and told a family member.
„My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted. Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!” reads the Facebook post highlighted by Merchan.

As the Conservative Treehouse speculates…
Why would Judge Merchan want to draw public attention to this?
Either something bigger is being diluted by this story, or perhaps Merchan is using it as a provocation to get Trump to talk about the jury and violate his gag order ahead of sentencing.
Or, perhaps Merchan is looking to create a mistrial to exit the case, or do it over again and extend the gag order. Also, why not include the entire quote from the Facebook Page:
Not sure what’s going on, but something. Something….

Suspicious Cat remains, well, suspicious.
Needless to say, ’mistrial’ is trending on X right now.
Enough with this bullsh!t case.
Mistrial. No retrial. Toss the “conviction.”

New York Supreme Court notified Merchan that the cousin of a juror (Michael Anderson) in Trump’s trial posted the verdict on FB a day BEFORE the verdict was given!!

All jurors need to be brought back and questioned one at a time under oath. If jurors had spoken to family about the case, prior to rendering a verdict, indicating that they had already made up their minds before having heard all the evidence, a mistrial needs to be entered. https://t.co/3ay2CZylCj
