Manafort and Cohen are scum. Trump surrounded himself with shady people. My only point was the Clinton's did also. And like this special council, the Clinton special council was cheered by one side and condemned by the other. Bipartisanship is pretty much dead at least among the devotees of the two parties.

I would bet that those 10 were overwhelmingly for conviction. Like 11-1 or 10-2. I figured there would be one or two cretins on the jury. But 8 convictions is plenty good.

That's not the kind of mistrial AADAD was thinking about anyway:

Reminds me of when Avenatti repeatedly stated publicly Cohen would be the demise of Trump. Appears, once again, Avenatti is credible.
This is so funny. Trump cultists are seeing their worldview unravel.

Most of what the jury wouldn't convict on involved collusion with Gates to defraud banks. Gates apparently not convincing enough.

The cultists don't care about the truth. They just want to crawl up the Dons arse and be just like him. We make a mistake thinking they are moral and ethical people who value democracy and the rule of law.

They don't. All they care about is authoritarianism and money...or want of it.

Trump is a gangster - has been one all his life. Only natural the people around him would be gangsters, as well. Birds of a feather and all that.
