Amazing that Katy Tur reported about jury members

She actually reported that jury members going to their seats walk by Trump but do not look at him. When they were in their seats we're looking down.

Seems to indicate it will be bad for Trump.

room, as I didn't want to be influenced either way, via looks or stuff in the courtroom.

And w/ all of the BS that tRUMP has been sending, towards the Court, towards the plaintiffs, towards the Jury, etc., this sends a profound signal of disrespect towards the whole process. And the jury can sense this, and I think they'll react too, to all of the negativism heaped on them/the Courts.
