They did the right thing.

Surely the Judge''s advice is similar, subject to their own choosing. Their time to tell the story, if they want to, is in the future. Things may look different in 8 years or so. Recording their memories for posterity might also be considered. They were admirable, strictly by the book, facts and law. They didn't politicize the trial. Trump is waging political war against the justice system, and his surrogates are blaming DOJ and Democrats for a "political prosecution". Projection as usual. We so need to escape drama and delusion of the Trump era.

They might get offers from the likes of the National Enquirer, so if they want to share the cover of a grocery store tabloid with Bat Boy and a celebrity's drug bust for $10K, they can go right ahead, but they'd find out pretty quickly that it wouldn't be worth it.

You go home knowing that you did good you fulfilled your duty to the best of your abilities. No need to talk about it if you don’t want. I’d pray I’d be left alone and be able to get on with my life.

Most returning vets are not offered this kind of money.

Who offered them money?

We shall see who offers them money and how much.

Where, what story.

It has been all over the news.

The media wants to know the details.

that may lead one to believe this. Otherwise this is just your opinion. Not news. If you are waiting for our shit media to investigate anything you have a long wait. The Secret documents case is more important than a past President fucking a porn woman.

If you read a small sample of the OP and comments on DU you will immediately notice
that in most cases people are expressing their personal opinions.

They typically do not get lambasted for doing so.

And in fact I was asking questions, not giving opinions.

Please note that ad hominem attacks are considered a very weak argument.
It is much better to stick to facts and logic.

I know my way around here, thanks. The replies say what they say. Going after or being curious about the Jury is a puke move. IMO.

The trial is over. They're not restricted in any way. Most will do nothing at all. A couple might try to capitalize on being on that jury.

Moving on, now...

if they can. None of the jurors in Trump’s other triad have come forward, either.

I don’t think any amount of money would be worth the doxxing they would receive if they came forward.

That's the way the jury system is supposed to work. The cornerstone of rule of law here and in our mother country.

They probably need burglar alarms around their houses too.

With all the insane magas out there, going public would be akin to suicide.

There will be a big temptation to go public.

Trump’s insane MAGA’s — my gods, do the names Ruby Freeman and Shay Moss ring a bell?

People in this country who get pointed out by Trump find themselves doxxed and SWATed. They have to go into hiding, change their kids’ schools. Is there any 15 minutes of fame that’s worth that?

The jury did the right thing. The jurors were brave. Now they should keep their heads down, invest in some home security devices, and hope nobody leaks their names.

Over 40 years as a therapist gives me a unique glimpse into human foibles and faults.

It may be hard for ordinary people to understand that people often make decisions that go against self interest.

To answer your question, nope, lay people who live in a cozy bubble of reality don't always get through
to me when they are missing the very basics of human nature.

They might fly you somewhere and put you up in a nice hotel for a day or two but you won't get a six-figure offer from CNN or the Washington Post for your story. Knock off a few decimal points and maybe you'll get an offer from David Packer's rag.

No thanks, I'm not a money-hungry attention-hound like Dump.

No amount of cash would cover the security risk of having millions of maga thugs confronting me.

If I were doxxed, I'd just deny that it was me. No need to confess. Sorry, you're wrong. Have a good day!

MAGA has no credibility so they can't credibly dox anyone.

Because I'd have to consider the cost of needing extra security, potentially having to change jobs, move, etc.

I'm old; I have enough money to get by for the rest of my life, and I'd like to spend that time not being stalked, harassed and threatened. I doubt any media outlet would offer an amount sufficient to pay for a lifetime of 24-hour protection in a gated, secure residence.

Judge Merchan said they could talk or not talk after the trial and that nobody could tell them otherwise. He more or less said, "It's a free country." So no, the judge can't control any of this.

They're already all targets for MAGA.

I imagine some might make the calculation that fame is actually safer than obscurity. Only time will tell if they're right.

But if they're smart they'll do as most other Trump jurors have done: Remain as anonymous as possible.

Yes I agree, they should keep their mouths shut.

But this trial is more famous and historical.
There will be more pressure on them to talk.

Names and addresses have been posted, some on the same sites that raised bodies for Jan 6.

Nobody knows if those names are really jurors, but they are out there, and threats are flying.

You.would have to really need a small amount of money to draw that lightening.

Some may be tempted to gamble with their lives.
Others not.

The major networks don't pay guests asfaik. They do pay contributors, people who appear as subject matter experts on air, but I don't think they pay one time guests.

I might be wrong, but news shows try not to do that. Maybe shows like Maddow or O'Donnell do. Don't know.

Some of the media may pay for interviews, TV and print media.

Realistically unless there is some payoff the risk isn't worth it.
Unless some want to speak out for other reasons.

CNN, MSNBC, etc., don't.

Federalist Society member Christopher Wray will protect them.

Go for the money, you will get threatened anyway.

and the crimes of harassment, stalking, terroristic threats, etc. are state offenses and the responsibility of NYPD or whatever jurisdiction the jurors live in. I know you've got a huge hate on for Garland but this isn't a federal matter.

Depending upon how serious the threats are and how many, it is possible the state would ask for help from the feds.

Depending upon the demographics of the jury, some of the threats may constitute hate crimes and the FBI can be called in for that.

but I was told a couple of years ago that once Kristen Clarke was confirmed as head of the Civil Rights division of DOJ that all of the threats being hurled at government and public officials, even librarians, would be addressed by DOJ.

Why wouldn't DOJ get involved?

I guarantee that the threats that will be hurled at those jurors will be done, coordinated by a group of people. There may be a few random threats but the bulk of the threats will be instigated by people from TSF's inner circle.

When people on Fox or people like Steve Bannon go on the air and incite violence their speech is crafted, coordinated to instill violence.

The jurors are not public officials but threats hurled against them is intended to cause mistrust in our judicial system, in our courts, in our democracy.

Might as well take the money.

doing on air interviews.
I always wondered how they would
keep those people safe.

It’s up to each person. I would imagine that most will try to fly under the radar in the hopes that they won’t be discovered. A couple may feel like this is their shot at 15 minutes of fame. Personally, there is no amount of money that could convince me to willingly out myself knowing the hell that Trump and his supporters will unleash on them. But if the names do come out, all bets are off.

Some might want their day in the sun.

Actually more in danger. They are at risk even if they don't speak out.

Trump has gone after judges, prosecutors, politicians, journalists, former administration officials, media critics, actors, capitol policemen, FBI investigators, the Deep State, jurors, witnesses, former business associates...the enemies list just keeps getting longer and longer. Aside from some bullshit social media posts and threats by his followers, none of Trump's "enemies" have been harmed. I think the jurors in his latest trial will be ok, no matter what they decide to do.

But that is traumatizing to people and they feel they cannot risk taking a chance.
So it is an effective strategy for Trump.

These nutcases will dox and attack any juror who dares to reveal their role in this jury

But some people think a bit pot of money is worth the risk.

The jury quickly delivered a unanimous guilty verdict. What's there to buy, or sell?

Human nature isn't some mystery solved by only a select few. Every human being has access to it.

There's nothing there.

What did the jury think and feel.
What were the dynamics and the discussion.
And disagreements, etc.

MSNBC talking heads have been talking non stop since the verdict.

They seem to think there is a lot there. Not nothing.

Would be the smart thing to do.

Keep my mouth shut and head down.
