Manafort judge says he's received threats
By Lydia Wheeler - 08/17/18 02:25 PM EDT

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The judge in the tax and bank fraud trial against one-time Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort said Friday he’s been threatened over the case, denying a request from media outlets to release the names and addresses of the jurors.

Judge T.S. Ellis III said he's not going to reveal the specifics of the threats he received.

"I have the marshals' protection," he said.

In denying the request from CNN, the Associated Press, Politico, NBC News, The New York Times, The Washington Post and BuzzFeed News, Ellis said he has no reason to believe the jurors wouldn’t also be exposed to threats if their names were revealed.

“I had no idea this case would excite these emotions, I will tell you frankly,” he said.

Such threats don't surprise me .. considering the prosecution.

But the brass of the media to want the names of the jurors .... period, never mind while they're deliberating, is outrageous.

CNN, Wapo and Buzzfeed are demanding the names and addresses of the Manafort jurors be released to the public.

On Friday, Judge Ellis, a Reagan appointee, revealed he has received threats, however; he did not provide details.

Judge Ellis declined a motion by WaPo, CNN and Buzzfeed to unseal jurors names, reported Courthouse News reporter Brandi Buchman.

This is attempted jury tampering by the press ....

The motion — filed on behalf of CNN, Washington Post, BuzzFeed, POLITICO, New York Times, NBC Universal, and the Associated Press — asks the court to provide to the media organizations the full names and home addresses of the men and women who were summoned and selected by the federal government to serve as jurors in Manafort’s fraud case.

Agreed, and I feel confident that it is not Manafort's defenders that are making threats. Glad he
has US Marshals for protection and not FBI agents.

Why don't these members of the media simply ask Mueller's office for the names?  They've been willing to leak everything else.
