I’m gonna be interested in seeing how the defense presents their case.
very short prosecution case, time-wise?
I hope this jury is smart enough to see through the BS, BUT if the jury is from DC I highly doubt it!!!!
Federal Juries have a 95% conviction rate, im guessing he’ll be convicted on all counts, guilty or not.
I’m hoping that he has to pay his taxes, file as a foreign lobbiests and time served.
Interesting:
According to Brennan’s testimony, the bank approved $16 million in loans to Manafort by CEO Stephen Calk, who was angling for a cabinet position in the Trump administration.
When asked by prosecutor Greg Andres if he thought the loan should have been be approved, Brennan replied, “My recommendation was the loan not be made.”
Brennan said the loan was approved because of Calk. He said the Federal Savings Bank ended up losing $11.8 million on the loan.
They worked so hard to enact justice. They need a break.
Heck, that case needed to be given a rest a long time ago!
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.
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.
