4- this has nuthin to do with the Witch Hunt
1. He didn't STEAL money,he SUPPOSEDLY didn't pay taxes on it and I think Gates the snitch is the real criminal here.
2. No just 12 idiots who were from an OBVIOUS Anti Trump area which is why defense asked the trial to be moved to a NEUTRAL place but was denied (nice grounds for appeal)
3. Doubt he would say that
4. It doesn't have anything to do with Russia since Manafort was paid for work for UKRAINIAN politicians and supposedly didn't pay taxes on it.

Some commentators are stating that the apparent consensus on 17 of the 18 counts implies guilty verdicts.

We'll know soon enough - I hope.

Too bad we don't have the option of the "Scottish Verdict" - "not proven", i.e. "We ken ye deid it; we just canna prove it" - in this country.

That’s an amazingly quick adjustment for a Russian troll.

Generally, with translation it takes a little longer.

Seriously, it’s getting harder to discern between the Trump Dead Enders, Backwoods Bundists, and pure Russian trolls because they all regurgitate similar talking points, all of which would thrill Vladimir Putin,

If he's pardoned, he still won't avoid a state trial that Donnie can't touch, and he will not be able to invoke the Fifth Amendment in any future testimony. Might be a great tradeoff.

Now, if we only knew who the subjects were of all those sealed indictments piling up in D.C. District Court and SDNY since last November...

The jury is stuck on one count out of eighteen. That means they have verdicts on seventeen counts. Does anyone actually believe that all seventeen of those verdicts will be "not guilty"? Manafort is toast.

Nice spin. Props for effort and creativity.

If Trump pardons Manafort, patriots will be protesting in the streets of America.

Do you realize that even if Manafort is pardoned, he's going to be a pariah and will still owe mucho $$$ to the IRS and be in danger from the Russian Mob? His family is not going to stand by him, clearly. Where can he turn? I supposed Trump could privately see that his bills are paid - but what sort of life lies ahead for him, if he is pardoned?

And don't forget there's a SECOND Manafort trial coming up in September, this one in D.C. He's in it deep.

LOL Patriots stand with Trump and see RIGHT THROUGH THIS political persecution to try and overturn the results of an election the leftists don't like. Trump is loyal to those loyal to him.
