You then get into Jury nullification / intimidation etc combined with tampering with the pool etc (depending on status of sequestration etc).
Media screwed up, yet again.
Also when they come forward, they waive their own anonymity of their own volition, not because they were outed!!!

There is nothing to say the Judge wouldn't have named them after the trial was finished had he accepted the motion.

Despite the rise of anonymous juries, members of the news media possess the general right to challenge a court’s decision to withhold juror names and addresses. When making these challenges, the press typically asserts they have a First Amendment and common law right to the desired information. As will be displayed below, the majority of courts to consider the issue have concluded that a qualified right of access to juror names and addresses exists.

After being granted the names and addresses of only two of the jurors, The Globe’s motion made its way to the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts. In a decision issued earlier this year, the Massachusetts high court sided with The Globe — ruling that the public has the right to learn the names of jurors who have been empanelled and rendered a verdict in criminal cases. The court specified, “Only on a judicial finding of good cause, which may include a risk of harm to the jurors or to the integrity of their service, may such a list be withheld.”

It's not uncommon.
This was a routine attempt to make the list known and the judge rejected on security fears. If you Google around you see the media has many examples of these petitions which sometimes are granted and sometimes not.

Even though this trial really has nothing to do with Trump the media has dragged it into that cesspool and the participants are at risk.

It wasn't the left who caused a guy to walk into a pizza place with a gun because of conspiracies he saw. The internet is full of nasty, angry people irrespective of the political divide they are on.
