A fair trial

Trump’s indicted…which means, now, only one thing matters: A fair trial.
At the trial prosecutors are going to say Trump lied, obstructed justice; Trump’s lawyers are going to say Trump did absolutely nothing wrong. But the judge refereeing the trial was appointed by Trump and both sides get an equal say on who gets to sit on the jury – so if Trump loses it’s going to be hard to say the trial was rigged.
Outside the courtroom Fox is going to blast the prosecutors no matter what they do, and CNN, MSNBC are going to blast Trump no matter what. Kevin McCarthy, Matt Gaetz are already howling Biden’s using the Justice Department as a weapon to sink Trump. And Trump’s already branded the Special Prosecutor a ‘deranged psycho.’ That’s all political noise but howls sow confusion.
What’s the antidote to clear the air?
A fair trial and a verdict from twelve common everyday jurors.
