Rather than address the danger Trump poses, judge tells E. Jean Carrol jury to conceal jury service

In a system turned on its head, before dismissing the jury at the conclusion of the E. Jean Carroll defamation trial - after they awarded Ms. Carroll $83.3 million for Trump's incessant defamation - Judge Lewis Kaplan told the jurors that he recommends they tell NO ONE that they served on the Trump jury.

Although Judge Kaplan's motivation was undoubtedly to protect the jurors against the danger posed by Trump and his supporters, it's institutional insanity to make everyone else alter their lives and their behavior rather than address the source of the danger - Donald Trump.

Trump endangers everyone who is involved in holding him accountable for his crimes and his civil wrongs: witnesses, judges and their staff, prosecutors and their family members, and jurors.

Trump is on pretrial release in four felony cases, both state and federal. The law provides that if someone is on release in a felony case, and there is clear and convincing evidence that the defendant poses a danger to even one person in the community, that person should be detained pending trial. Yet instead of doing what the law provides, the institutions of government have decided that every single person involved in the endeavor of holding Trump accountable should alter their lives rather than neutralize the threat by detaining Trump pending trial. Let's hope the institutions of government change course rather than continue to allow Trump to endanger jurors, witnesses, judges and prosecutors.
