Food for thought on jury pools and his many legal issues.

In many places the jury pool is selected from voter rolls. Let's think about that. A president who basically has a neon light on his forehead flashing guilty, guilty, guilty..... who is most surely going to many courts over the next decade ….. purposely trying to turn the jury pool into part of the swamp.

Trump has been actively trying to taint any potential jury. If he casts enough seeds of doubt, 1 person will always say....reasonable doubt exists. Not Guilty.

Jury tampering on a mass scale.
