After the way this trial went down Manafort is going to have about 1000 avenues for appeal.
Manafort was in my HS graduating class.
We went to a strict parochial school run by Srs. of Notre Dame and Jesuits. Rigorous curriculum.
Well, every protective father of every HS girl there, warned their daughters.: *stay away from Paulie. He’s a greaser.*
The Manafort family business [originally a house wrecking/salvage company] had a reputation of being mob connected. I don’t know if that is fact; what did I know then. Just a kid, who listened to her father. IIRC, Paulie had to take his cousin to the prom.
