Last week in #DC, where Trump faces #federal #charges of trying to block the election results, arguments took place under seal related to Trump’s “daily extrajudicial statements,” (aka #harassment, #WitnessIntimidation, #JuryTampering, #Incitement of the #MAGAterrorists). Prosecutors & defense #lawyers are expected to file court papers in the dispute this week.

A motion from #Willis requests #FultonCounty Superior Court to block the #defendants, members of the #press & anyone else at the #court from photographing or “otherwise creating or publishing images” or written descriptions of #jurors & prospective jurors as the case moves towards a #trial.

…One reason for the #Georgia rule requiring the release of the #jurors’ names, said Michael Mears, a professor at John Marshall #Law School in Atlanta, is to give defense #lawyers a tiny window into the proceedings — letting them check, for instance, whether any of the jurors should have been excluded because they were convicted felons or resided outside the county.
(Umm, isn’t that what voir dire is for?)

The FCSO said in a statement that it was aware of online #threats against #GrandJurors & was working w/other agencies to track down their origin. It did not answer inquiries about whether any #jurors had reported #harassment.
…Media Matters… collected other messages posted on one online board that included threats of #violence against the jurors & called the list of their names & addresses a “hit list.”

The juror’s names are listed early in the sprawling 98-page #indictment, as required in #Georgia, making the state an outlier among federal & state court systems.
Now some of those #jurors have had their faces, social media profiles & possible addresses & phone numbers shared on internet sites, in some cases w/the suggestion that they should be harassed — though it was unclear on Thurs if anyone had followed up on those suggestions.

#Trump has filed his response to the #SpecialCounsel’s motion for a #ProtectiveOrder.
The biggest point of contention: Who is Trump allowed to share #evidence with to prepare his defense. His team wants a very loose definition that could allow for "volunteer attorneys" or others without "paid employment arrangements."

Among the restrictions the prosecutors are requesting is a rule barring Trump’s lawyers from providing copies to #Trump of #discovery materials deemed “sensitive,” which include grand #jury materials & #witness interviews. TFG is allowed to be shown such materials, under the rules proposed by the prosecutors, however, he would be barred from taking down any personal identifying info from the documents.

“All the proposed order seeks to prevent is the #improper #dissemination or use of #discovery materials, including to the public. Such a restriction is particularly important in this case because the defendant has previously issued public statements on social media regarding #witnesses, #judges, #attorneys, & others associated w/ #legal matters pending against him.…”

In a court filing just before 10PM Fri, #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith’s team alerted Judge Tanya S. #Chutkan about the post in which #Trump “specifically or by implication” threatened those involved in his DC #criminal case.
The prosecutors said Trump’s post raised concerns that he might improperly share #evidence in the case on social media & they urged that he be #ordered to keep any evidence prosecutors turn over to his defense team from #public view.

I have heard several #mainstream #media sources go on #AdNauseum about how difficult it is to win a #defamation case against a media company. They mention #malice specifically. Isn't it obvious that choosing to harm a company with statements you know to be #harmful and #false is #malicious? Saturating the #airwaves with this contrary #meme looks like #JuryTampering. #FoxNews #Dominion #Smartmatic #lawsuit
