The fellah doing all the illegal jury tampering suggestin’ is one Clay Travis.
What the hell is a Clay Travis? I dunno, but the apparent Megamind recently put that whole secret squirrel operation of Tank-Manhattan-Criminal-Court-Case-Against-Trump (TMCCCAT for short) on social media blast.
The foolproof scheme involves provoking some patriotic Trumper to risk it all by lying their way onto the election interference trial in New York.
The mission?
To hang the jury so we are hamstrung by a retrial.
The process of Jury selection, also called Voir Dire, is very skilled, developed and arduous one. There is an entire actual science to it, but we all know MAGA doesn’t do science!
Accordingly:
"Voir Dire is the process by which attorneys select, or perhaps more appropriately reject, certain jurors to hear a case." It also refers to the process by which expert witnesses are questioned about their backgrounds and qualifications before being allowed to present their opinion testimony in court. — Wikipedia
Apparently Clay Travis is some kinda of MAGA influencer, which ain’t saying much since MAGA also looks up to an influencer who calls themselves Cat Turd.
Wish I was joking.
Look it up.
Travis makes a living as a commentator and writer for sports media website OutKick. He is also a RWNJ who lives on the FOX Network and other conservative media outlets.
The all-important PSA Travis’ wished to share with the class was this gem:
“If you’re a Trump supporter in New York City who is a part of the jury pool, do everything you can to get seated on the jury and then refuse to convict as a matter of principle, dooming the case via hung jury,” Travis wrote Monday on social platform X. “It’s the most patriotic thing you could possibly do.” —The Hill
Riiiiiiiight.
But you know, this is where Trumpers being clueless about how anything works in the real world is good—for us. They have no idea how juries are selected and I am not about educate them. Judge Juan Merchan is no uneducated “moran” (misspelling intentional)*—He’s a seasoned legal pro who has been on the bench for years.
Many high profile cases have come before Judge Merchan—this ain’t his first Rodeo! He is likely already well aware that MAGA is gonna try to pull some dirty BS and is ahead of the game on that front.
You think Merchan, who will be overseeing Voir Dire, is gonna allow himself to be outwitted by a man who was too stupid to legally change his name to something cooler?
Like maybe Scooter or something—just saying.
So, now that they have been given a heads up, the process is likely gonna be lengthier, more exhaustive and the prosecution will be eagle-eyed, making it harder for someone with bad intentions to be empaneled.
In other words—that brother just did us a solid with this heads up.
Gee, thanks Scooter!
A lectern is about to fall on Sarah Huckabee Sanders
For those unfamiliar with lectern-gate, allow me to get you up to speed: A lectern was purchased for far, far, far over market value by Arkansas Governor, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who then went to Paris with a friend and partied lavishly.
Sus? Yuh.
Arkansas State Auditors have completed an exhaustive and extensive investigation into the purchase of a very expensive lecture by Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, which has been alleged to have been used to cover up an unauthorized travel expense. They referred the findings of their investigation to a prosecutor's office that oversees Little Rock to determine whether criminal charges should be filed.
The Lectern was purchased for an exorbitant price of $19,020.00, which was nearly double the estimate that was initially provided to the Governor's office by the company. The investigation noted that both the company and Governor Sanders refused to sit down for an interview with them to note some of the discrepancies in the billing, which included a $2,500 "consulting fee." The Governor's office did issue a statement that it was a custom podium designed to fit the height corresponding to Sanders' elbows, which she likes to rest on podiums.
In response to being audited and the case referred to prosecutor by investigators, Governor Huckabee Sanders posted a video on X starring the lectern utilizing the gun rights slogan of “Come And Take It.”
The video even featured music by Jay-Z… illegally of course. Watch the nauseating crap of a rebuttal here:
I suppose this kind of thing works with the monster truckin’ crowd. Sigh. Another day another grift in Trumpland.
Sick of these folks, aren’t you?
