they actually killed their own members when the members tried to leave the organization because if you left the organization, there was at least a risk that you might cooperate with the authorities and flip against the organization. when i think about the fact that in my experience as a career prosecutor, there were only two trials that required anonymous juries, and those were the kinds of people we were prosecuting, and now we have a need for an anonymous jury when we re prosecuting a former president of the united states. let me ask you two things about that, glenn, we also have a call and response pattern on the record when it comes to donald trump. to the proud boys, stand back and stand by. to mike pence who had run for his own safety and that of his own family after that fact, facts certainly known by secret service protecting both donald trump and mike pence. trump tweets out another threat endangering his life further. i mean, we know that there isn t
analysts, vaughn, please stay with us. wave and let us know if you get new reporting as we re discussing what is going on with the jurors who have already been seated. barbara, this is drama before even trying to add people, we re losing people. what s your reaction to what happened with juror number two? yes, you know, two steps forward, one step back. it seemed like things were progressing quickly. this is very concerning, as the judge said there s a reason this is an anonymous jury. there is a desire to protect this jury from threats, intimidation, or even coercion by outside forces. but there has been so much detail reported about these jurors that it s probably not hard to figure out if you know something about them. they ve been asked not only where they live, but they ve been asked who is your current employer and who was your previous employer? if you work with a colleague, you say that sounds a lot like sheila. hey, sheila, is this you? i think one of the things that the jud
