    Prior prosecution rates were high because they’d only prosecute clearly guilty people.

    trump just prosecutes who he doesn’t like, because the trial itself is being used as a punishment.

    Doesn’t matter if you’re innocent with a clear alibi, they’re gonna make you go thru a trial

    Mistrust and anger with the federal government appears to have contributed to a willingness of some of the jurors to nullify, meaning they refused to side with prosecutors to send a larger message, people familiar with the jury’s deliberations told CNN.

    Good. Nullify everything these assholes do.

    The dicey record appears to stem from several issues in court, including a jury pool that has lost trust in the Trump administration, the FBI and the Justice Department

    I think that the main issue is that the jury pool has finally woken up and realized that the DoJ and police consistently lie to the public and the courts and their testimony cannot be trusted.
