What an HONOR it would be to have served on the Grand Jury that votes to indict Trump.

Are they sworn to secrecy forever? Or do they remain silent and anonymous because of potential threats?

It would be a very difficult thing for me to keep quiet.

Jury service is a fundamental part of our judicial system: A jury of one's peers.

I've served on four juries, three criminal (2 convictions and 1 acquittal) and one civil (the parties settled during deliberations). Every judge made certain that we jurors understood how important our participation is to the fulfillment of our Constitutional system. Each time, I felt that I had been a critical part of making our country work as it was designed. I will always serve when called.

Still, wouldn't it feel great to vote to indict Trump?!

jurors talk all the time. witnesses too.

i’d bet they’re advised not to, tho.
