"I could possibly receive a summons to be in the jury pool. If that happens, and you never hear from me again, you know why."

Curious what the over/under is in Vegas of the number of trump zealots who will threaten/coerce or intimidate witnesses in this trial as it proceeds. I suspect it will be high, as they will quickly come to terms with the way to end it is have jurors one by one ask off due to the fear for their family.

Next up will be the promises of pardons for the "patriots" threatening to kill a juror.

Note about the charge against Trump: it is a misdemeanor to falsify business records, but it can be bumped up to a class E felony if the falsification was done to cover up for another crime - and importantly, that other crime can be committed by someone else entirely.
