1. The bulk of residents in the city are what I'd call 'working-class', and they know that probably over 3,000 incidents a year occur where some Wall Street guy, or some city hall manager, or some Broadway prominent person....pays off some guy or gal for a sexual affair.
These same jury members are sitting and thinking....no one ever seems to get charged-up, so why does this come up now?
They aren't stupid....they just see this as BOLD print on the daily newspaper, and ask themselves....will any of the 3,000 incidents ever get picked-up by the federal prosecutor?
2. Then we come to the problem of present day crime in NY City, and how no one seems to have a desire to prosecute on assaults or robbery. This jury could view prosecution now as a joke.
I'm not giving Trump a pass, but when you view the past twenty years of fake news and public skepticism....a Grand Jury review might not have the strength it did....from the 1970s.

How many jurors are street-people or marginally employable, and see some court time as a momentary relief in their boredom.
