Doesn't this just make Trump's case worse? He was under strict limits of what he could say on social media lest he "accidentally" intimidate witnesses, but he's still culpable if his cronies do it for him.
Georgia law requires the names of jurors to be public for the sake of transparency. So while Trump is a traitor, the juror's names thing isn't his doing.
His supporters though, they're absolutely going to be responsible once one of the jurors gets shot. And Trump will hold some of that responsibility for not keeping his cultists at bay.
True, but if he engages in intimidation against them that's still illegal, no? And against the terms of his bail?
Against the terms of his bail and only further strengthens Georgias RICO case against him.
