Law Professor John Yoo: “It's pretty extraordinary...half of the jury pool already says that they're so biased against President Trump that they can't serve on the jury…”
Video transcript
I think it's pretty extraordinary for, in the very first jury pool, before you interview anybody, half of the jury pool already says they're so biased against President Trump that they can't serve on the jury. This is what we call vaudevoir dire, where the lawyers and the judges ask questions of the potential jurors to ferret out any bias.

That's only going to feed into, I think, Donald Trump's claim that the public integrity of the courts and the prosecutors is to be questioned as being biased and unfair against them.
