Judge pressing jurors to see if they are impartial

I'd phrase it this way: Finding a juror who will disregard law and fact to help Trump will be harder in Manhattan. That won't stop some from trying.

There may be a better explanation as to why they waited, "they" being Trump and his DOJ. 

The key reason the DOJ didn’t prosecute Trump’s hush money case[/color]

. . . they actually found . . . Cohen acted at Trump’s direction and to Trump’s benefit. Why didn’t prosecutors pursue the matter further? According to Geoffrey Berman — the Trump-appointed U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York, who wrote a book about his experiences — it’s because there was political interference from other Trump appointees who ordered prosecutors to end their investigation.

Indeed, according to Berman’s book, then-Attorney General Bill Barr not only intervened in the case, he tried to kill the ongoing investigation and even suggested that Cohen’s conviction should be reversed.

The GOP committee chairs wrote yesterday that federal prosecutors “determined that no additional people would be charged alongside Cohen,” but they conveniently overlooked why they made that determination.

It wasn’t because of a thorough review of the law; it was because Trump’s attorney general told them to stop — because in the previous administration, the brazen politicization of federal law enforcement was the norm.
Were Jordan, Comer, and Steil unaware of these details, or did they simply choose not to care?

Barr was a very busy DOJ.
