I’m not assuming that all the prosecutors are nonpartisan, but I am assuming that many people would have interacted with this evidence and either tricking all those people or keeping them quiet would be difficult. This is an instance where Occam’s Razor holds true and there most likely isn’t some insidious plot to release altered texts to push an agenda.
I’m not an expert on US law either, but my intuition is that knowledge of these texts wouldn’t exclude anyone from Jury selection unless this evidence ended up not being usable in court?
