Will Trump find his "friendly" juror out of the hundreds being screened? [View all]

All it takes is one juror and Trump is off with a hung jury.

With his constant barrage of lies and propaganda, it will be difficult, in my opinion, to find an unpolluted jury.

Some in the right-wing radio land have been calling for Republicans to "con" their way on to the jury, so that Trump is not found guilty.

The question is, will the people get a "fair trial"?

Donald Trump is not looking for a fair trial - he is looking for a fixed jury.
