Palmieri wasn't just a former communications director for Hillary Clinton. She was Hillary Clinton's communications director for her 2016 presidential campaign. It is ridiculous she was allowed to sit on a jury for a trial involving an individual connected to her election opponent.

I thought the same thing about senators running for president being able to pass judgement in an impeachment trial.

Federal court is a very weird animal when it comes to jury selection, at least from the civil side. For the most part, the venire fills out forms with questions. Then the judge asks questions the judge feels is relevant. Then the parties counsel submits quesitons to the judge that they either read or decline to read.
At that point, you are left with striking for cause or using your preemptory challenges - usually 3, none of which can be for race and requires heightened scrutiny.
The huge issues in this case are (1) what was the use of the preemptory challenges and (2) what was the form completed by the juror and submitted to the court.
I'm guessing as to future handling but I believe a Motion for New Trial, followed by appeal when denied, followed by Pardon by Trump after election.
Of course, there could be the court granting the new trial and the DOJ deciding not to prosecute but I put that below 20%

This person was on the panel, and the judge declined to strike her for cause.
she is jus ONE of the veniremen, and the lawyers clearly felt she was bad-enough to exercise a peremptory strike to remove her from the panel

At least Hillary testified under oath. Has more balls than your president or his henchmen.

If you're not mad about the Senate impeachment trial, I cannot take you seriously when you pretend to be outraged by this.

mistrial,her hubby works for the DOJ,HER SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS PROVE SHE WAS BIASED BEFORE THE TRIAL

Oh you mean like McConnel interviews proved he was biased before the Senate trial? And Graham... And Mulvaney admitted guilt on camera... And Trump admitted guilt on camera and in writing. Doesn't matter anymore bud, apparently anybody can do whatever they want in government now. We live by a different set of rules than these people. We are all being played.

now has immediate grounds for a mistrial.
On what grounds? Was she untruthful during jury selection?

Hang on, Stones legal team thought it would be a good idea to have a black female on the panel? A clue might have been when the prosecution started high fiving after she was selected.
So you are a racist?

Does no one else find it odd that out of the millions of people in the DC area, these are the people that were "randomly" selected for jury duty?
I mean I know DC is 96% Dem, but these people are not typical.

I think we elect Senators because they have opinions.

I logged in to post this exact thought. Not sure how works in DC, but in MDLA, lawyers get to ask ZERO questions. All are filtered through the judge (except in rare circumstances). So the defense would likely have had no opportunity to explore this prejudice. Jury selection is quick, fast, and in a hurry. Nothing at all like state court. Absolute grounds for reversal. IMHO
