Commies gone wild

Judge T.S. Ellis III revealed in open court Friday that he has received death threats relating to his presiding over Paul Manafort’s trial for bank and tax fraud at a federal court in Alexandria, Virginia.

The judge has since retained the protection of the U.S. Marshals Service.

“I have the marshal’s protection,” Ellis said. “I don’t even go to the hotel alone. I won’t even reveal the name of the hotel.”

“I had no idea this case excited this emotion in the public,” he added.

Ellis made the comments after a coalition of news organizations — including The Washington Post, The New York Times, Associated Press, CNN, NBC, Politico and BuzzFeed — requested the names and addresses of jurors seated for Manafort’s case. The judge denied their request, for fear the jurors would be subject to the same harassment he has received.

“I don’t feel it’s right if I release their names,” he said.

This is breaking news. This post will be updated.

I don't believe juror's names should ever be made public.

In almost all cases, the jurors names and addresses are public record.  why, i do not know.  it should not be.

Those peaceful confederate flag waving, swastika tattooed right wingers. They are good people.

Though I believe the overuse of "commie" makes it almost laughable, I'm glad Chuck finally realizes it is right wingers who are closer to communism than the left has ever been.

Us Americans don't really much care about this trial.  If justice be indicated, so be it.  Either way, life goes on.

The only thing we are wondering is why it took some many years to get around to it.
