"Rise to the occasion"

That was Andrew Weisman's advice to Judge Juan Merchan. Cheato is openly trying to intimidate the jury. He is using his lackeys on FAUX news to signal to the cult that the jurors are evil. And this is just the beginning. No one thinks it's going to improve without action and two things are at stake: justice and the juror's physical safety.

The time is past for action. Cheato, his minions on FAUX and elsewhere, and the cult can do a lot of damage between now and the hearing that I believe is to be held next week.

I heard that he is not going to give the defense the name of the witnesses for their safety, but what about the jurors?

What's to stop him from posting all night tonight and inciting his cult members? A lot can happen in a few hours, let alone days.
