I think the powers that be are hesitant because of free press issues, but Watters crossed a line. Saying that some jurors are liberal plants and such is dishonest garbage but free speech. Actually identifying a specific juror is where he crossed the line from free speech to jury tampering, and I think if they had the balls for it the DOJ could make a compelling case against him. If they don’t they’ll just be enabling him and encouraging him to do it again.
