Not unbiased... one Trump supporter holdout, according to one juror who was just on Fox News. 11 jurors wanted to vote guilty on all 18 counts but one holdout wouldn't budge.
And even that person couldn't hold out on eight of the counts.
It was a hung jury so he can be retried. Prosecutors won’t bother since he was found guilty on other counts.
Actually, they'll likely not bother, as this trial was just the appetizer to the one coming up in DC in September, where they have far better and even more evidence, and the jury pool isn't as likely to be as favorable to Manafort.
It will go down when Mueller is investigated and hauled into court as a defendant.
Do you mean Robert Mueller lll? This Robert Mueller?
* 12 years as director of the FBI, the longest tenure since J. Edgar Hoover...served presidents of both parties.
* a law enforcement career marked by a number of high-profile cases long before he rose to the top, including the investigation of mobster John Gotti, Panamanian strongman Manuel Noriega and the 1988 Pan Am Flight 103 bombing over Lockerbie, Scotland. The same Mueller who quietly attends the December memorial services organized by the families.
* The same Mueller who was inspired to serve in Vietnam because of the combat death of Princeton classmate and friend David Hackett. Mueller enlisted with the Marine Corps and graduated from the Army’s demanding Ranger school before ending up leading a rifle platoon in Vietnam in 1968. When his men came under heavy attack at Mutter’s Ridge, he kept his cool, supervised the evacuation of casualties and led a team into enemy territory to rescue a wounded Marine. He was awarded a Bronze Star with a V distinction for combat valor.
Surely, phma, you must be mistaken,as this guy who was appointed by a Republican president's Justice Department and who has served his country in a non-partisan manner for most of his life seems like a boy scout. Oh right, that is because he is an Eagle Scout!
You know,phma, you are backing the wrong American. Oh, actually your guy does not seem much like an American, come to think of it. Your post is pablum!

Two-thirds of Americans, including majorities across party lines, would like to see special counsel Robert Mueller try to finish the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election before voters go to the polls to elect a new Congress this November.
The fact that 12 unbiased ordinary citizens sided with Mueller's team in this case clearly indicates it is not a witch hunt.
Actually it appears one was biased and even they had to convict based on the evidence.
