Alexandria, 57,000 Clinton. 13,000 Trump. Did Manafort's attorneys even ask for a change in venue? I just checked and a jury has been seated already. That was quick.

I can see it all now

Prosecutor: Please state your full name
Manafort: Paul John Manifort, Jr

Prosecutor: Are you the person responsible for securing the nomination of Donald J Trump at the GOP Convention?
Manafort: ah ah yes

Prosecutor: Speak up so the jury can hear you
Manafort: Yes

Judge: The jury shall reframe from displaying displeasure at the witnesses answers.
