Why does everybody keep assuming it’s either 17 guilty or 17 not guilty. It could just as easily be some of each. Some guilty, some not guilty.
That’s the likeliest scenario. He’ll probably be convicted on some of the charges, it likely wouldn’t be an all or nothing affair.
I suppose that could be true, but again if you have some guilty verdicts, why bother with the one hung count, flip a coin and go home. Mueller doesn’t care, he just wants a scalp and to hand the sentence over Manafort head to get Manafort to flip. It has nothing to do with justice, so why should the jurors pretend that it is.
