 My conclusion: It seems to me that the greatest danger that the DOJ lists is that jurors will be afraid to serve.

They quote Trump saying that D.C. “is over 95% anti-Trump."

So, specifically, people in that 95% may be afraid to serve. 

This is obviously a problem. 

I assume that extraordinary steps will be taken to protect the jurors. 

BTW, if you are new to reading court filings, the way to get the Cliff Notes version is to scroll through and read the headings.

 @e184fd3c To me the scariest part is the planned “polling” of prospective jurors. Can you imagine an army of MAGA thugs fanning out through DC to “question” people about being on a Trump jury?

Sincerely grateful for the interpretive clarity you're supplying...

"I made sure that the headings told the story. "

Thanks for serving "our" need for "Cliffs Notes."
