The lawyers who tried to keep Donald Trump in the White House after he lost are about to go on trial, and they’re trying to warp an already tricky jury selection.
Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro, the two indictedcoup lawyers who volunteered to face trial first in Atlanta, are adopting the former president’s courtroom playbook and doing whatever they can to pollute the jury that’ll decide their fate.
In a case already denounced by Trump loyalists as nothing more than partisan politics, Powell and Chesebro’s lawyers want to conduct what the judge deemed a highly irregular “Gallup poll” to gauge how jurors “feel” about everyone who took part in the attempt to flip the 2020 election results. The mere request shows how defense lawyers are already laying the groundwork to potentially smear the trial from the very start as unfair and nothing more than political theater.
The judge seemed unmoved by that argument, plucking the hamfisted poll from the questionnaire—but said he’d allow the defense lawyers to ask these questions anyway during spoken conversations with prospective jurors.
