Is why he’ll skate due to the statistical possibility that every jury could have an angry trumper
"We're not PR consultants, we're not social media consultants," Tacopina said when asked about the former president's use of social media to theorize about his case.
Tacopina said his client was being targeted because of politics. "Any other defendant wouldn't be here today," Tacopina said.

Trump is the first former or current U.S. president ever to be indicted.
The former president paid Daniels $130,000 for her silence in 2016, via his then-attorney Michael Cohen just a month before the presidential election. Trump reimbursed Cohen, who later pleaded guilty to federal campaign finance violations and tax evasion stemming from the payment.
Martha MacCallum flagged the news on Tuesday’s installment of The Story.
“We’re getting some messages from people in the Trump circle,” she said, citing Eric Trump, who tweeted about the Daniels decision:
BREAKING!!! the 9th Circuit just awarded Trump $121,962.56 in attorney fees from Stormy Daniels. Order just released. This in addition to the roughly $500k she already owes him.
MacCallum said the ruling had “interesting” timing before asking Fox News Chief Political Analyst Brit Hume for his reaction.
“It’s not the stuff of a political slogan,” Hume quipped before making a mock campaign pitch. “‘Vote for me – I collected $121,000 from a porn star that I had an encounter with.’ Oh, good.”
