FOLEY SQUARE, Oct 25 – A jury is being selected in the New York criminal case about the Trump organization(s). Inner City Press live tweeted on October 25, here:

Prospective juror Ms. Coolibaly is asked if she take fairly listen to cooperator Weisselberg.

She says yes. 

Ms. Coolibaly is asked if her mother working in Accounts Receivable will be a problem. Seems not. 

Next up: an adjunct at NYU, in "advanced archival" -- No conflicts seen.

Next man says he likes to write political criticism. Uh oh 

Prospective juror: It's not that I have a problem with propaganda. I just need to know what it is. I am interested in income disparities, some people pay different interest rates... "what happened in 2008, what the Federal government did for some and not others"  

Con't: "I lived in a dictatorship for a while... When I lost my freedom overseas, I saw you don't have any type of protection. The system needs work."

 Counsel: "Thank you for those remarks... Could you be fair?"

A: I wouldn't bring my idealism to this. 

 Prosecutor: The defendants here are corporations, but it must be beyond a reasonable doubt. Can you hold us to that standard? Can you call it like you see it? 

Last juror in (this) pool: Yes I could do it.
