how can you have a jury foreman like that? be three i think the lawyers had to know some of this. remember, people on the jury who were trump and were very clear that they love donald trump. >> greg: ran for office befor before. >> juan: here is the bottom line on today, what you have is a president who is empowered by impeachment to keep going and what he's doing is going after his enemies and now he is trying to protect his friends and nobody on the republican side is saying. >> greg: if i get in a trial in all of a sudden there's a lawyer up there and the president stepped in and says that is b.s., he should do that. >> juan: he shouldn't. it's about a judge system, not a king. >> greg: he's the president, he can do whatever he wants. >> jesse: wait a second, the bottom line isha dana has not seen any of greg's tattoos, that is the bottom line. th only thing we need to remember from this. wait until you hear what he's saying now. but allstate helps you. with drivewise. feedback that helps you drive safer. and that can lower your cost now that you know the truth... are you in go

lawyers asked the eventual former o foreman of the jury if there was anything to judge her.she said she hadn't paid much attention to the russia probe that turned out to be a lie and a stupid one at that that juror's twitter account is public and turns out she is anti-trump zealot who closely filed the mueller investigation. in one tweet, for example, she called donald trump, quote: the klan president. when stone was taken into custody in a dawn raid armed with automatic weapons and air boat she mocked the idea the arrest was excessive. seems fine to me. this is not a neutral person. this is not someone capable of judging this trial fairly. this is partisan who lied about who she was. roger stone is facing life in prison because an obama appointed judge, amy burman jackson allowed this woman to run the jury. now, that's all fine with cnn. which is colluded with the justice department from day one on this and which is rooting for stone to i do behind bars. it should be deeply upsetting to anyone who cares about fairness. for example the republicans in the senate, you think th

during the jury selection process at roger stone's trial, lawyers at the eventual foreman of the juryf there was anything that would affect her ability to judge stone fairly. no, she claimed, she hadn't paid much attention to the russia probe. that turned out to be a lie and a stupid one at that. that juror's twitter account is public and it turns out that she's an anti-trump zealot who closely followed the mueller investigation. and once tweet,ru for example, e called donald trump "the klan president. winstone was taken into custody in a dawn raid by dozens of federal agents are armed with weapons and an airboat, she mocked the idea of the arrest was excessive. seems fine to me. this is not a neutral person. this is not someone capable of judging this trial fairly. this is a partisan who lied about she was. roger stone is facing life in prison because an obama appointed judge, amy berman jackson allowed this woman to run the jury. that's all fine with cnn. which is colluded with the justice department from day one on this. and which is written for stone to die behind bars. it should
