Since I was the budgeting goon and I’ve kept an eye on a lot of the people I made budgets for, there are several people in TV, at least one famous stand up comic, a few executives at well known companies and other less famous people well known in their niches now.

There’s at least one former goon who is now a billionaire and in the public eye.

I mean I’ve had my writing stolen by Newsweek and OCCRP wrote a story based on something I found but I wouldn’t call myself famous at all.

Comstar posted:I don't understand how a private org could get any standing or force the DOJ to investigate more Trump crimes that undoubtedly happened. As far as I can tell, they aren't actually suing Trump over this, that's just bad reporting from this particular outlet. So standing isn't really relevant here. They can't force the DoJ to investigate anything, but who said anything about that? They're just sending a formal letter to the DoJ containing a handy summary of all the evidence they have that maybe there's something worth investigating here.

Also we probably have a hung jury, gently caress. "Juror 2 [...] He said he follows Mr. Trump's former fixer, Michael D Cohen, who is expected to be a key witness, on social media. But he also said he follows former Trump aeciser Kellyanne Conway. He said he believed Mr. Trump HAD DONE SOME GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY adding "IT GOES BOTH WAYS." Ffs. So do we hold they are a deluded enlightened centrist who has been living under a rock for years, which seems unlikely, or a Trump supporter?

The fact that jurors have to come into the trial impartial is a fundamental flaw in our system.

Look I was around when Jon Stewart said Comedy Gold once on the Daily Show back in the day and the PROVED he was a goon for like 90 pages of discussion on GBS. Also I'm pretty sure I'm famous because I was briefly in Goonswarm and someone there died in Benghazi so I'm super political. Also I remember the thread that created Slenderman. I can claim with certainty that no member of these forums could ever be impartial.

He told them to be more responsible and then specifically forbade them from reporting on the person's occupation both current and former. So obviously the NYT decided to Air Bud there way into a juror getting executed.

Why aren't jurors anonymous to begin with in any legal proceeding? At best, there is no benefit to the jurors being identifiable, and at worse, they end up getting harassed and threatened as we're seeing now with what Trump and the media are doing. E: I'm referring to public anonymity. The court would need to preserve their names for record keeping, obviously.
