Post Claiming Juror Leaked Trump Deliberations Appears To Be A Hoax

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : Instead of riots in the streets or anything else that Trump has been promising, we have Internet trolls trying to discredit the trial.
46% : Judge Merchan sent a letter to all parties in the case after the New York Court System Facebook page flagged a post that stated: “My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted,†the user wrote in a week-old comment, according to the judge.
27% : On Friday, Judge Merchan sent a letter to all parties about a social media post claiming that a juror leaked a told a cousin Trump would be convicted.
25% : MSNBC's Katie Phang pointed out that the post was made ten days before the verdict, or nineish days before the jury ever got the case: This nonsense will no doubt be used by Donald Trump to claim that the trial was rigged, which was probably the poster's point.
25% : Giving attention to hoaxes will only cause more problems, but before Trump can even say it, it appears that the post about the juror was not real.
