12. The problem with continuing to seat a jury before addressing gag order violations ...

... is that they can get a jury all sworn in and then one of them might just get a little curious over the weekend to see what he's posting, and boom, jury tampering. He WILL NOT STOP until he is forcibly stopped.

I am wondering if that motherfucker can even be tried for any of these charges anywhere. They dismissed one juror (that was picked on Tuesday) because the media posted too much identifying information about him. People are fearful they will become targets for the terrorist's cult members.

The media should not have visual access to the jury box IMO. Audio only, and when during voir dire they talk about the person's job or past or anything else identifying, cut out the audio feed.

Too many people are intimidated already.
