    “Today, the Court became aware of a comment that was posted on the Unified Court System’s public Facebook page and which I now bring to your attention,” Judge Juan Merchan wrote in a letter dated Friday.

    “My cousin is a juror and said Trump is getting convicted,” the post stated, according to Merchan’s letter. “Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!”

    Merchan said that the comment, which was attributed to a user identified as Michael Anderson, was “now labeled as one week old,” and was posted in response to a routine notice from the court posted on May 29 about oral arguments unrelated to proceedings in Trump’s case.

    for anyone wondering what the comment was. elsewhere, I’ve read that the account is a common troll of the NY court system, so, probably not even an accurate statement- quite probably a nothing-hamberder.

      Good to know, but made my asshole pucker a little bit when I first read that because you know he is going to scream bloody murder about this being total proof of impropriety by the jury, which puts them in additional danger among other things…

        He’s known to post misinformation knowing it’ll rile up his rubes. Even if it gets proven as nothing of consequence, his base is already eating it up as politcal persecution.

      Whoever posted that is going to learn what the inside of their butthole looks like.

        I’m with Nougat. He’s about to become very familiar with other people’s shit. One might even say intimately familiar.

          I hope so, but I’m not sure what he did is expressly illegal. Can anyone say which law he broke if it was indeed a shit post?

            I’m not sure on the specifics, but if it could be proven that he interfered in the proceedings of a criminal trial? yeah. there’s a charge there.
