This was great reading. It's good to know he finally has NY-ers telling him what they think of him to his face and he has to listen.
I don't think the details Alter is sharing here put these jurors at risk. What puts them at risk, I fear is the inevitable leaking of their names by Fartman's operatives under his direction. If they do it, I hope they get caught the charges that would stem from that would make this election interference trial look like a cakewalk.
Could that happen here?? Is already happening? What would happen to this trial at that point?
It’s interesting that Trump can’t stay awake even though it’s nice and cool in there. If it were warm, I’d get it. I’m wondering if Jon thinks Trump looks as bad physically as the couple of pictures I’ve seen. And I recommend fingerless gloves for the trial coverage.
Can't wait for Judge Merchan's ruling on Donnie's gag order violations next week. When the orange blob is photographed wearing an orange jumpsuit behind bars, public perception will undergo a massive shift. For example, photo comparisons of Donald Trump and Charles Manson each glaring with haunting eyes from their jail cells will become inevitable (and viral).
Please don’t call this a hush money trial. That is a salacious sideshow which detracts from the important truth. This is a trial about election interference.
Jonathan! I am too old to serve anymore, which is fine, because as you say 100 Center St is a “real dump.” Great line, and overall great reporting. Semple.

Wonderfully vivid writing! You made me feel I was in the room!
Your tidbits about jurors are only of use to operatives wishing to do harm.
I fear you've yet to realize how serious this is.

I also want to say that this is a trial about election interference.

The excess air conditioning is probably to combat the hot air coming out of Trump’s big mouth!
Non, this is great reporting. I wish you had covered the Ed Burke trial in our beloved Chicago.
You provide some interesting color on this— what shall we call it—how about best show in town. Fascinating. Jerry
