An unnamed witness who testified in special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential elections tells the New York Post’s Richard Johnson that he fears Trump won’t get a “fair shake” because there no white men serving on the grand jury.

“The grand jury room looks like a Bernie Sanders rally,” the source told Johnson. “Maybe they found these jurors in central casting, or at a Black Lives Matter rally in Berkeley.”

The source explained that 11 out of the 20 jurors were black, while adding that two of the jurors were wearing “peace” t-shirts.

The witness also claimed that “there was only one white male in the room, and he was a prosecutor.”

In conclusion, that source believes that this grand jury isn’t a place “where POTUS gets a fair shake.”

1. Kushner? Is that you?

15. Donnie Jr, I'd guess

I think the racism is genetic. Plus he'd be more likely to run to a professional gossip to complain.

2. Fuck that guy whoever he is, I hope he goes public because generaly witnesses are charged to ....

not discuss a GJ in progress. A contempt charge with a little jail time will cool their flapping gums.

[Lochloosa]

3. And this unnamed witness will be going to jail if found out.

It's a big no no to talk about the proceedings.

4. Trump really should have thought about what a DC jury looks like

Before he broke the law and ran a racist, misogynist, anti-east coast, anti-bureaucracy campaign.

[Raster]

5. So in addition to trying to diminish Mueller and his Team, now tRumpians are...

...going to go after members of the Grand Jury.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

6. W're not saying who it was, but it was definitely Steve Bannon.

And we can't at this point confirm anything, but it has been confirmed that Stephen Miller definitely echoed his sentiments.

[CincyDem]

7. This sounds like they've invited Stephen Miller in for a conversation. It sounds like his snark. n/t

[lillypaddle]

8. How does it feel, motherfucker??

[politicaljunkie41910]

9. This Grand Jury can only indict. They aren't the actual trial jurors. There will be a separate jury

for any trial, should it get to that phase.

[peggysue2]

10. I would absolutely believe . . .

a Bannon or Miller comment sounding like this. The Trumpster's version was a judge of Mexican heritage couldn't be trusted to give a fair rendering in the Trump University case.

This is the voice of Nationalism: bigotry and hate of all things not . . . us. It hides behind the American flag, pretends to be patriotic when it's actually the reverse. It's also another way to sow doubt about our basic institutions, to diminish them: the juries are rigged against us, the Deep State DOJ, we should be purging the FBI, Fake News, etc., etc., etc. And my all time favorite--whataboutism.

Propaganda to divide the country, again.

[L. Coyote]

11. Racist asshole complaining that racist assholes can't get a fair hearing is like

a Nazi complaining that there are Jews on his war crimes jury.

[CakeGrrl]

12. Red meat for the Trumpsters:

'The blacks are coming to get me!'

They never pass up an opportunity to fan the flames for a race war.

[mcar]

13. Bull. Also shit

Two of the jurors were wearing peace t-shirts?

[underpants]

14. The NY POST Page Six?

[tblue37]

16. How many POC face all-white juries? Quite a few, I bet. nt

[BoneyardDem]

17. "The grand jury looks like a Bernie Sanders Rally".......really? n/t

[PJMcK]

18. Unnamed sources equals fake news

That's what Trump said.

[FSogol]

19. I'm gonna call bullshit. Just more of the attack on Mueller.

Why spread this crap here?
