Chairslinger Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I am curious to hear whether those 10 counts that got held up were due to just one juror. The prosecution seemed to have Manafort dead to rights, but maybe the media didn't do a good enough job breaking down how strong of a case each count had. Because if it were just one Trumpkin pooping in the punchbowl, I then why guilty on 8 counts? Also, about that Tweet that claims that the counts they didn't get him on mean little in a practical sense, does anyone have the actual breakdown of the time ranges Manafort is now facing and how that compares to what it would have been if they had got him on all 18?

SaysWho? Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 The biggest curiosity for me will be if Trump tries to pardon him or not. Otherwise, between this and Cohen, this is a good day for America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairslinger Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Either Manafort wasn't offered a plea deal at all, he's all in betting on a pardon, or there's some truth to the idea that he's not doing it for Trump he's terrified of a Russian Polonium cake. At 70 years old, why would he sacrifice even 5 years for Donald Trump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naw, that would take a miniscule amount of human decency that is anathema to anyone on Trump's team.

Amazatron Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Checked out foxnews.com for the hell of it, predictably the lead headline/image is about the illegal immigrant arrested on the murder of Mollie Tibbetts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not unreasonable to assume that he was, but maybe the case was so very airtight from the prosecution's perspective that one would be selling themselves short Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
