I haven’t even bothered to look at the second case, I did see something about Mueller having 3 times the evidence for the upcoming case.

What is the second case about?

Failing to register as a foreign agent (BS charge) and money laundering (potentially warranted and serious).

The Judge should seqeuster the jury in a hotel until the end of the trial. No TV, just free ppv movies.

From Politico...

“Most notably, the longtime GOP operative still faces a second federal trial slated to begin in mid-September in Washington. That case accuses Manafort of money laundering and failing to register as a foreign agent while lobbying for the government of Ukraine”

“And our fedgov needs to bring charges against CNN for trying to destroy the jury system”

I agree with you, but that would be an impossible case to win.

I am seriously praying the jury acquits Paul Manafort on all counts.

I so want to see Mueller handed a total defeat.

These jurors don't know the first thing about what they're suppose to be ruling on.

These questions were all answered during the trial. They're lost in a pool of ignorance.

Me too, my FRiend.

This farce is unbelievable, more so because it’s been allowed to get this far.

A Manafort aquital is devestating to Dems.

It destroys Mueller and thus a central campaign issue for them going into midterms.

My guess is they have a couple of Democrat ass clowns on the jury that are ignoring everything and desperately holding out for a conviction to “get Trump”.

A hung jury is one that produces no verdict?

Donald Trump is the real defendant here.

If just one member is a trump fan, has balls and understands jury nullification, and the rest want to convict, it will be hung.

And if that one juror were really smart, they would keep their mouth shut.

In this day and age, a juror that was not aware of what was truly happening would be too simple to be worthy of having on a jury. We bring our knowledge with us and can not help but listen to a case in that perspective.

They will find him guilty of something.

Absolutely. There are too many charges not to find him G of something. That’s what the feds too to plump up their conviction rate/chances.

Or they could reconvene tomorrow. A judge has tremendous power.

You're probably right. In these cases I wonder what a "jury of your peers" should really mean.

I pray for an acquittal on all counts. Shut Mueller down.
