Stephen Colbert attempted to downplay his staff's insurrection against the federal government...by trying to influence possible jurists using his media platform in violation of federal laws. Seriously, this could be charged as Jury Tampering. (archive.ph)

My staffers were detained, processed and released.

Already infinitely more kid-gloved.

A very unpleasant experience for my staff.

Solitary confinement with raw sewage and mold level of unpleasantness or just a bunch of sweaty high fives from some child molesting democrats?

No less than bringing a terrorist mob to the steps of a courthouse to intimidate a jury into convicting an innocent man. There is no depravity the left won't commit. Nothing is beneath them.

Jury tampering implies there will be charges brought and a trial for those caught. I doubt they will even be fined. They wont have to spend a day in a courtroom because they have the correct political alignment.

Any charges against them will be quietly dropped in a few months. There will be a small outcry from a few conservative commentators who are still following it, and that will be the last we will hear of it.

Oh, they do. And they believe themselves to have laughed because what they watched was funny and not because they were conditioned to like dogs.

What jurists? Wait, you mean a public statement? No, press releases and public statements of innocence do not count as jury tampering.

Public statements made by the defendants and their representatives do not count. This was not a statement, this was a blatant rewriting of events and testimonial using his position and platform as a way to influence a possible outcome and jury pool. There is a reason lawyers tell their clients to let them do the talking at press conferences and it's not just because they might say something incriminating.

But you're including every single person in America as a jury pool. That means any public statements would count as jury tampering, and yes that would have to include the attorneys themselves. Hell, that would include people like Nick Rieketa regarding Kyle Rittenhouse.

You're standard isn't reasonable.

Yes, he's trying to influence public opinion, but he's not engaging in jury tampering; otherwise we'd have to have a gag order on all public commentary.

Technically, everyone who has a license or permit is a potential juror. (at least in florida, I'm not sure how they do it on other states.)

It's a very fine line in this situation, but his laying out the crime according to him, his past rhetoric against people who disagree with him, and past attempts at influencing public opinion, I believe this could count. It's not a violent call to action, it is an influence scheme, which is still considered jury tampering. Like I said, there is a reason they make a base public statement and let their lawyers do the talking.

I have reviewed my own statements and found no evidence of wrongdoing.
