Forewoman of Roger Stone Jury Criticizes Trump In FaceBook Post;
People Discover She Has Long Been a Rabidly Anti-Trump, Anti-Republican Zealot Who Ran for Congress as a Democrat and Tweeted About Stone Before the Trial
This conviction will have to be thrown out. This woman is obviously biased beyond any capability of dispassionate evaluation. And she wasn't just a juror, but the jury foreman, so she probably influenced the other jurors.
And also, it seems highly likely she lied in the voir dire process of weeding out biased jurors to get on the jury.
he jury foreman on the Roger Stone trial came forward on social media Wednesday to defend the four prosecutors who withdrew from the case after the Department of Justice overruled their excessive sentencing recommendation.
A Facebook post written by Tomeka Hart, the senior program officer for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, was picked up by multiple news outlets. But the reports left out some highly pertinent details about her background--namely that Hart is a hyperpartisan Democratic Party activist who is rabidly anti-Trump and a Russia-collusion truther.
In this tweet, for example, she retweets someone laughing at Roger Stone for complaining about his excessive-force arrest. See, a White Man has no right to complain about that...!
She was/is OBSESSED with following the CNN/MSNBC Deep State Soap Opera.
Read the whole thing.
By the way: When she realized people were finding her most floridly lunatic conspiracy tweets, she began deleting huge swaths of her social media history.
Who knows which tweets we missed because she had made sure to delete them in the first few minutes after being caught.
Unbiased Update: Chuck Ross finds this one:
Her Twitter feed shows dozens of references to Trump, many of them links to negative stories about the Republican. In a Twitter post on Aug. 19, 2017, Hart quoted a tweet referring to Trump as the "#KlanPresident," in an apparent reference to the KKK.
This one's good, too.
Update: Apparently one juror did admit to being a partisan Democrat and to having "negative feelings" about Trump.
The judge refused Stone's lawyer's request to excuse her for cause.
That would probably explain how this incredibly biased forewoman was never struck.
Correction: I thought this must be the same biased Democrat juror, but a friend tells me: no, that's another biased partisan Democrat the judge allowed on the jury.
