    Correct me if I’m wrong but as another method, I believe he just needs one fuckstick on each jury to force a mistrial which would push everything past the election, feed into the “it’s all political” narrative, and hand him what will become the emperor’s throne. And there is currently no shortage of fucksticks.

      If that is the case, and it absolutely could be, blame the prosecution lawyers.

      Striking jurors during selection is their responsibility, both defense and prosecution can say no to a juror selection until you get a jury that both have agreed is fair. Incidentally it’s how you get out of jury duty, say something crazy on purpose and they’ll throw you out.

      The fact remains that this process can fail, you can still get a juror who will not hear facts and will not make a decision based on rule of law. But it’s supposed to work, it’s supposed to weed out any juror that will not reach a fair decision.
