ury in Paul Manafort financial fraud trial says it's reached a verdict on 8 counts, but remains undecided on 10 others.
The jury in the financial fraud trial of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort suggested to the judge Tuesday that it was stuck on at least one count in the case.
Jurors asked U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III on their fourth day of deliberations how they should fill out the verdict form if they were unable to reach consensus on a single count, though they did not suggest what charge was at issue. The jury of six men and six women also said it would need a new verdict form.

Good
I agree
Act IV: They will ride Trump into December or later, to let that one hang out there and fester in the public.
“What justification is there for a pardon?”
There is no such constitutional requirement of justification for a pardon.
“This is the left, as usual, walking all over the right and the right not doing a damned thing.”
The right can’t do anything about it. The American legal system is entirely controlled by the Deep State Left...all the prosecutors, all the attorneys, most of the judges and the ability to set venues where they can get a good jury pool - they have it all. The only part the right has is Trump’s power to commute or pardon.
Now, the military and most of the law enforcement rank and file - we’ve got those guys. So if this were a shooting war against the deep state, we’d win hands down.
But the battlefield is the legal system - and they have total control of that field (and will for a very long time at best). As long as we are fighting on that field of battle, they are going to clean our clock.
Mulehead is just cranking up.
Wow. Breaking news on both Manafort and Cohen today.
There must be a bombshell on the Obama FBI/DOJ election interference matter about to drop.
Yes, that was beyond ridiculous.
If only real investigation were applied to the Clintons and company.
Sorry, just joking.
“These POS are truly asking for a CW!!”
Yes they are...Mueller is not going to stop. He has the backing of our corrupt stasi state, corrupt courts, both parties and the fakestream media.
You are probably correct.
Really? Because this was supposed to be an open and shut case.
With a conviction on all 18 counts. With the maximum sentence of 300 years assessed. Which the media pretends is a doom and gloom indictment for Trump. Which means the Blue Wave will happen after all. Then Trump is impeached. And so on and so on.
And that did not/will not happen.
I think Manafort should thank God. Clearly he was guilty. But the Kangaroo Court failed to get all they wanted. Mueller won some. But lost much more. His credibility (if he had any) has taken a serious blow.
Folks. THIS IS A VICTORY!
Watch and see the media reaction. They will be pissing and moaning for days.
I even expect a Trump Tweet ASAP. Poking fun at loser Mueller for not getting the conviction he wanted.
Mueller’s job won’t be done until they have Trump out of the White House and a Deep State supplicant into it.
Yep! Damn it I wish I lived in D.C. And protest SESSIONS office!! Why are we so complacent?!! I wish Rush would sound out a charge for thousands to gather and protest our representatives!! This verdict today just might flip both houses today..I’m angry and demoralized at the same time!! I BLAME SESSIONS FOR THIS AND I hope the SOB goes under soon!!
I do think Trump will understand now that this is war. He can’t fight this on the legal battlefield - his enemies completely control that field. Hell, he doesn’t even control a few major portions of the executive branch.
He needs to start dropping bombs now, open it all up.
My suspicion is that he sees that very clearly.
Yes, Trump’s selection of Sessions will go down in history as one of the worst political mistakes ever. I can’t think of anything constructive Sessions has done, but there may be one or two things. People in AL make terrible choices in senators.
No there is not.
After the verdicts have been accepted, I can see Trump’s tweet now:
“The Russians, Mr. Muller. Where are the Russians?”
That’s what I’m searching for is the link to Russia... The headlines are scathingly misleading.
