“without facing a trial” should be “facing a jury.”
I think there is a great possibility he could be acquitted by the jury. The Democrats I think are really unaware just how many people are leaving their side and it’s preventing them from pulling back on the craziness. That protest on Saturday with the Antifa group chanting “No border, no wall, no USA at all!” is going to do tremendous damage to them and they act completely in a fog about it. No USA at all? Are they kidding me? And it’s not just moderates leaving them but people who were very far left as well. I saw it first in that Walkaway movement, I read a comment by a transsexual of all things saying he/she was leaving the Democratic party!! A tranny!! I’m also seeing it in news sites in the comments section, even leftist sites like Buzzfeed and even Huffington which surprised me, people explaining how they were always Democrat but they wonder now if things are going overboard. I really think if Trump can make it to 4 years and the lunatic left keeps acting the way it’s acting, that party is going to have huge huge problems.
Hung jury. Only need one holdout.
Even if he goes to prison, it will be at a Club Fed; and he will be out in 18 months, likely sooner.
The real defense is that the government knew about this matter 10 years ago and declined to prosecute. And I think Rosenstien made that decision. Would love to have him called as a witness.
“Even if he goes to prison, it will be at a Club Fed; and he will be out in 18 months, likely sooner.”
Even sooner if Trump were to pardon him.
Exactly, please put Rosenstein on the stand.
I remember when my late brother-in-law the Jewish ninja (my sensei) got dimed out by his first wife, the cops came in with a search warrant, pilfered all his really good hardware, and just kept one gun in evidence to charge him with possession. After he got out, he divorced her and later married my wife’s sister.
PDJT will likely promptly pardon Manafort if he is convicted.
I can hardly wait to see the exploding heads if that happens.
Manafort has a 2nd trial in other charges shedculed for September. Mueller made up a twofer on case the first prosecution failed.
Clearly Mueller is trying to convince Manafort to make up crap about PDJT.Remember Manafort was put into solitary confinement for 2 months trying to break him.
Corrupt cops or govt agents like coin collections too. Small, easy to carry, and often worth a lot of money.
Yes, that was what I was implying with my post. ;)
Defense rested without calling any witnesses.
