Yes, that's exactly what they're trying to do, initiation into the Deep State don't you know?

And so, on Thursday, CNN, along with six other far-left media outlets (the Washington Post, BuzzFeed, Politico, the New York Times, NBC, and the AP) sued for the release of the names and home addresses of all of the Manafort jurors, a move that is both disturbing and almost unprecedented.

BuzzFeed is liberal but I've never heard anyone -- aside from Trump and Hannity -- claim the others are far left.

As Bre Payton at the Federalist points out, “Publicly outing the names and home addresses of jurors is considered ethically questionable, as outlined in this guidance sheet on the topic from the Reporter’s Committee for Freedom of the Press.”

Even the judge said a thirsty press is a good thing. You don't know if they're going to out anyone, it's a matter of public record once the proceedings are finished. The Judge will likely shield them until it's done which would be the right move.
