The #FakeNews media moves into jury tampering

A lot is riding on the Manafort trial. While it has absolutely nothing to do with collusion by Trump with Russia a loss would further stain what little credibility Mueller has.

After all it wasn't that long ago that Mueller indicted a bunch of Russians with no evidence as a ploy to make it appear he was actually interested in something other than overturning the 2016 election.  We know he lacked the evidence because when one of the Russian companies that Mueller indicted showed up asking for a speedy trial Mueller said he wasn't ready.

But if he really had the evidence necessary to indict the Russians he should have been ready to take them to trial.  At least that's how the legal process normally works.

By effectively admitting that he'd only indicted the Russians because he assumed they'd never show up Mueller made it clear that actually stopping Russian election interference isn't his real objective.

Now Manafort is on trial for some supposedly illegal complex financial dealings that occurred long before he had any relationship with the Trump campaign.  If Mueller loses that trial it will start to look like he isn't really doing anything.

Given that the jury hasn't reached a verdict yet and that one juror has asked for guidance leftists are starting to worry that Manafort might not be found guilty.

Perhaps that's why the #FakeNews media(FNM) are demanding that the judge in the case provide them with the names and home addresses of all the jurors.

Given the way the media has attacked anyone who isn't rabidly anti-Trump the obvious concern is that the FNM are planning some jury tampering.  Imagine if the media suddenly showed up at the juror's home asking them leading questions and implying that if the juror's don't convict Manafort they might be investigated by the media for taking bribes.

We know that the left can't win based on truth so they've routinely been using violence and intimidation to get their way; witness Antifa.  This latest demand for the identity of jurors before a trial is over combined with the FNM's history of attacking anyone who doesn't support their left wing agenda makes it far from unreasonable for the American people to conclude that the FNM is trying to be even more proactive in its "resistance" to the Democratic process.
