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.

Looks like a max of 30 years if he serves them all concurrently.

Shame he went to work for someone who could’t keep his willie in his pants and had such sleazy friends.

Never Trumpers are like an ant infestation... just when you think that you have them all taken care of... a few more come sneaking come out from under the base trim and start sneaking across the carpet. You might be more welcome somewhere else.

“Folks. THIS IS A VICTORY!”

No it isn’t. A complete victory would have been an acquittal on all counts. People aren’t going to remember that the jury was hung on 10 counts. What they’ll remember is that Trump’s (former) campaign manager is facing serious prison time for tax and bank fraud.

Trump has been musing about a pardon.

He should give the guy a pardon IMO...if for no other reason the idiocy of solitary confinement!?

I voted for Trump. Truth is he has sleezy friends and can’t keep his willie in his pants. Sorry reality escapes you.

Duh...He is a billionaire. If he didn’t have sleazy “friends” I would be shocked.

And who cares if he has slept around.

He rails on Twitter, but his presidential actions do not back up his bark.

********************

Railing and wailing isn’t working. Trump is playing too much defense and that’s not stopping the cabal that is working tirelessly to undermine him. Today should be a wake up call for him.

He needs to declassify the FISA docs without further delays.

I knew from the second the special counsel was appointed what these bastards were up to.

***************

Trump has a silver bullet: he can declassify the FISA docs and expose the whole plot and everyone involved. Its the Rosetta Stone for the entire operation against him.

I cannot understand why he has not done this. It would be a game changer.

Why di Charles Rangel get a slap on the wrist and early retirement, but Manafort gets the hammer ?

The FBI/injustice department is a socialist snake pit

“I’d like to know why:

Trump isn’t firing Sessions.
And Sessions isn’t firing Rosenweasel”

Yeah, Trump needs to fire them because freepers know more about whether those two are doing what he wants than he does.

The liberal press is now making cracks about how we need to see President Trump’s taxes. If he gets 4 or 5 years I wonder if it will be in Club Fed, or general population.

Seriously? You need to grow up. It is hard to believe that someone who is old enough to vote talks the way that you do. President Trump is doing a great job despite almost overwhelming opposition from easily misled idiots. If Clinton had been elected the consequences would have been too awful to even imagine.
