Talk about a jury of one’s peers. There’s something vaguely inspiring about voir dire playing out this way. This is how the justice system is supposed to work. Seriously, this is what the founders intended when they wrote the Sixth Amendment. #USA #NoOneIsAboveTheLaw — PolitiTweet.org

Also in jury pool for a prosecution related to Ukrainian foreign influence operations was a CIA analyst whose portfolio includes Ukraine. "I know large amounts of classified information about Ukraine," she said. To the judge’s surprise, neither side objected to her. — PolitiTweet.org

A Vox reporter who covered the Mueller probe was in the pool of potential jurors to hear a prosecution brought by Mueller. So was the girlfriend of a New York Times reporter who has been covering Mueller. (She's a lawyer and remained in the jury pool.) — PolitiTweet.org

At least two former Clinton White House officials were in the jury pool for Craig, who served as a White House lawyer during the impeachment of Clinton. A GOP political consultant who’s married to a senior Trump appointee at HHS was also in the pool. — PolitiTweet.org

Thread: My favorite story of the day is @joshgerstein's delicious yarn on the jury selection process yesterday in Greg Craig's trial. He captures the degree to which Washington feels like a small town for those of us who live here: https://t.co/0v7ozKwYwm. #ThisTown — PolitiTweet.org

Jones Day’s D.C. managing partner calls the couple’s allegations false and frivolous and accused them of “ignoring both the law and biology” in attacking what he described as generous family leave policies that are consistent with EEOC guidance. https://t.co/uaQuZuYISL — PolitiTweet.org

Jones Day, where Don McGahn is a partner, says it will fight a couple who used to work at the firm that's suing for discrimination. The firm says the wife earned more than her husband despite mixed evaluations, “below expectations” billings and focus on “idiosyncratic concerns.” — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

The suit alleges that the Jones Day law firm doctored a photo of a former Supreme Court clerk, who is biracial, for the company website “to lighten her skin and narrow her nose,” making her appear “more Caucasian” and attractive in the eyes of the editor. https://t.co/uaQuZuYISL — PolitiTweet.org

This is possible, in part, because it’s breathtakingly easy for most Americans to legally acquire guns. Nevertheless, it’s a challenge that policymakers must grapple with as they debate new forms of gun control. I go deeper on this in today's Daily 202: https://t.co/tgoBrIOMDI — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Despite the laws that are already on the books, criminals find ways to acquire weapons without background checks – whether at lax stores, through the gun show loophole, via the Internet or on the black market. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

There are many other examples just this year of police officers being shot by people who were not legally allowed to possess guns. These tragedies are part of a pattern that underscores how difficult it is to curb the epidemic of gun violence, even when there is political will. — PolitiTweet.org

Ramos had a history of domestic violence restraining orders. At the time he killed a police officer, he was wanted on a bench warrant that had been issued nine days earlier for failing to appear on a charge that he battered a young woman last year. But he still had several guns. — PolitiTweet.org

In June, in Sacramento, Calif., police were helping a woman collect her belongings from a home as part of a domestic violence call when Adel Sambrano Ramos allegedly opened fire on them and mortally wounded Officer Tara O’Sullivan, 26. — PolitiTweet.org

A sheriff’s deputy was fatally shot last month in Arkansas when he responded to a domestic violence call. That same deputy had arrested the man who would kill him for hitting someone else with a metal pipe in April 2018. He got a gun anyway. — PolitiTweet.org

A California highway patrolman was killed by a felon on Monday, and two of his colleagues were badly wounded, during a gun battle after a traffic stop on the freeway in Riverside. The shooter used an AR-15 assault-style rifle without a serial number, which makes it untraceable. — PolitiTweet.org

THREAD: The man who allegedly shot six police officers in Philadelphia before surrendering just after midnight, following a 7½-hour standoff, has a long rap sheet that makes it a felony for him to possess a firearm. That didn’t stop him. And it's not the first time... — PolitiTweet.org
