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.
“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.
