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.

Foundations are protected from scrutiny by the Prince of Darkness himself.

People putting faith in lawmakers, who create all those pages and pages of tax laws, are the problem. The stupid ones are those that “fly too close to the sun” and take shortcuts, most recent lawmakers... Renzi, Brown, Jackson, Jr., Hastert (Cover-up caused that one), Fattah, Stockman, etc...

Foundations with a lot of “suppliers” you grift from buys you a lot of leeway, because it’s “charity” after all. Buffet, Soros, Clinton, Gates, Jobs (The window now)... all play the game well and have political armor up the ying-yang.

Manafort helped elect Trump,......No, he wasn’t around long enough. This is a way to signal in 2020 that anyone who helps POTUSDT to get elected again will be broken, persecuted and run out of public life.

What do you think really happened today ?

You're correct in your statements. However, you also know as well as I, those facts mean NOTHING to the media, to the anti-American leftist liberals and to the low info voters. As far as those 3 factions are concerned, this is big news, and it's all we're going to hear about.

I'm so fed up with the right not doing a damned thing, and letting the leftists piss all over them.

Rollo, I’m not a lawyer but was a paralegal for a criminal defense lawyer. If the defendant wasn’t pleading guilty and looking for a plea, much time would have been taken to destroy/question the points presented by the prosecution.

Oj had a defense and got off. It was quite the dog and pony show if I remember.

Also, If it was so slam dunk then why the hung jury on the remaining counts? Just saying.

Will that require one presidential Pardon or 8 Presidential Pardons?

This isn't Joe Arpiao or Scooter Libby or Dinesh D'Souza or someone whose conviction can be seen as political. These are convictions for tax evasion and bank fraud. What justification is there for a pardon?

Drudge is a waste of time.

When that false flag Charlottesville happened just over a year ago, idiot Drudge head a headline “Make America Hate Again.”

It was the last time I visited his web page. I haven’t been back since.

This is still in no way a “vindication” of the Mueller witch hunt.

None at all. This is a conviction of a crook for crimes committed that had nothing to do with the Trump campaign.

“President Trump needs to get over that feeling. Sessions needs to go. “

Without a doubt. He’s going to have to go “all-in” against this massive conspiracy of high treason. This coup by the corrupt state. I have a feeling that all of us are going to have to get our hands dirty...

Sorry if this has been already axed... is the current judge the sentencing judge? If so, strikes me he’ll be lenient based on some of his abominations of the defense early on.

Check me if I’m wrong, Sandy.

Sadist Mueller will insist on going through the whole process again.

No need. Manafort has another trial coming up in D.C. on different charges. He got his conviction here, he'll start concentrating on the next trial.

None of this has anything to do with Russia.

Or anything at all to do with Trump.

Tax evasion is usually just a couple of years, not 300 years like I have been reading that Manafort is looking at

The media has a 10% approval rating and the more they attack Trump, the higher his popularity goes because almost no one likes the media.
As far as the anti-American leftist liberals and the low info voters - who gives a shit what they think, their brains are mush anyway and the black voters are deserting them as well.

I generally agree. If he gets rid of him NOW they’ll really scream “Saturday Night Massacre”.

I think we’re stuck with Jeff until the mid-terms pass, at least.

Judge.

“What justification is there for a pardon? “

Because he wouldn’t have been prosecuted if he didn’t have a relationship with Trump. It’s called lawfare and this is a coup.
