      I will guarantee you, especially with everything surrounding this case and this defendant, that cell phones of any kind aren’t going to even be allowed in the courtroom.

      I wouldn’t even be surprised if the jury was seated in a separate room, viewing the hearing from behind a one-way mirror, just to prevent anybody from randomly being able to visually identify and publish the names of any of the jurors.

      If they’re allowed in, then I assume so.

      But they might actually face repercussions for doing so, while Trump feels little people laws are beneath him, and in fairness here, I’ve not seen a lot in the last 6 years or so that might prove him wrong on that.

      Rich people rarely face consequences. Epstein ran a literal paedo island for 20 years, and it was (probably) only the blackmailing of even richer people that landed him in prison and “suicided”.

      Even with all these charges, I reckon the best we can hope for is Trump not being allowed to run the country again, and even then I suspect time and poor shape may take care of that so a judge doesn’t have to.

      Yes, but most of them don’t have “rich and powerful white guy” near-total immunity from the “justice” system, so they wouldn’t get away with jury tampering like their Mango Messiah has so far.
