This is very on-code for this administration. This is becoming normalized. If anybody is still "confused" or wants to claim "it doesn't concern me and mines" at this point, please, please, please.........don't expect empathy.

There has rarely been a juror so tainted as the forewoman in the Roger Stone case. Look at her background. She never revealed her hatred of “Trump” and Stone. She was totally biased, as is the judge. Roger wasn’t even working on my campaign. Miscarriage of justice. Sad to watch!

One juror said even after most of the jury had decided Stone was guilty on a particular count, "it was the foreman that insisted that we examine ... charge 3 a little more."

Jackson: "It was the foreperson who insisted that that level of attention be paid...?"
Juror: "Yes."
