You've got to remember that these are movers and shakers. These are people who decide which way goes the world. The common glue that holds the western world together. You know . . . Americans.
With apologies to Gene Wilder.

And now, on a Saturday, (appearing unwilling to waste much time) Judge Chutkan has given Donald Trump until 5pm ET Monday to respond to the special counsel's motion for a protective order following Trump's ostensible threat post on social media: https://t.co/xh0cIGeoQvpic.twitter.com/9oyPfjvSc6
On Aug. 5, Judge Chutkan denied Trump's motion to delay his response to the govt's protective order, which the special counsel wrote would cause “unnecessary delay to normal order.” Read the motion and the govt's opposition on Lawfare, from @TylerMcBrien: https://t.co/oZDY6omAlz
I think Trump's definition of "a fair trial" is significantly different than most people's definition. If you think "being hard on Jan 6th rioters" is unfair, then maybe you're more in line with Trump's thinking.
John Lauro, one of Trump’s lawyers, hammered that point in media interviews over the last week. “We’re looking for a jury that will be more balanced,” he told NPR last week. “And West Virginia was a state that was more evenly divided.” Trump had also called for the trial to be moved to West Virginia, describing the state that he won in 2020 as “politically unbiased” in comparison to the nation’s capital. Lauro also told CBS over the weekend that he wanted a “diverse venue, a diverse jury” that “reflects the characteristics of the American people.” He did not clarify what those characteristics might be.
