I'm honestly surprised. Any one of these jurors could have hung the jury, gone public, and been set for life as a right-wing media darling. Book deals, speaking circuit, position in a future Trump admin, whatever they wanted. But all 12 put public service over personal gain.

A minor child deserves privacy and should be kept out of politics. Pamela Karlan, you should be ashamed of your very angry and obviously biased public pandering, and using a child to do it.

Before he deletes, here’s Republican FEC Chair ⁦@TXElectionLaw⁩ staking his entire reputation on Sidney Powell’s honesty. He should step down yesterday.
