Jury reaches verdict on 8 counts in criminal trial of Paul Manafort, Trump's former campaign chairman
Dan Mangan   | Kevin Breuninger   
Published 4 Mins Ago

Jurors have reached a verdict on eight counts in the trial of President Donald Trump's former campaign chief, Paul Manafort.

In a note to U.S. District Court Judge T.S. Ellis, the jurors said they had not reached a consensus on the 10 remaining counts in the bank fraud and tax crimes trial.

Manafort, 69, faces another federal trial next month in Washington, D.C., which also stems from special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 campaign.

Manafort's defense team called no witnesses at the trial in Alexandria, Va., and introduced just 12 exhibits into evidence.

In contrast, prosecutors called 27 witnesses to testify against Manafort, and submitted more than 350 exhibits.

SHOCKED! Come on. Everybody knew they were going to get him for something.

On the other hand, if he actually did those things...filing fake returns etc...then I guess.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

I wonder... if investigated with as much zeal as these Trump associates are being investigated....

would most of the Democrat Congressmen escape the same "guilty verdict" for having offshore bank accounts....?  I guess the difference is.... they didn't get caught and nobody cared enough to go after them.

   He won't be moving out of his digs today.

Quote
“I think the whole Manafort trial is very sad, when you look at what’s going on there. I think it’s a very sad day for our country,” Trump said Friday. He went on to insist that Manafort only briefly worked for him, but said that was long enough to know that Manafort is a top-notch guy. “He worked for me for a very short period of time. But you know what? He happens to be a very good person. And I think it’s very sad what they’ve done to Paul Manafort.”

No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

   This may make it harder for Trump to find a Campaign Manager for 2020.

That's kind of the idea behind it.  Go after anyone and everyone that has had anything to do with Trump and teach the lesson.... that being "don't let this happen to you" to anyone else considering working for Trump.

If the IRS missed or ignored these crimes all these years, they couldn't have been terribly important. 

The Judge should sentence Manafort to time served--with an apology for the solitary confinement.... and a recommendation for an exorcism before the next trial.

Manafort is working on his testimony now - after all he's got 80 years in the klink staring him in the face.

BTW is Ellis the guy who'll determine the sentence?

    What did this have to do with WhiteWater, @Frank Cannon?




Its true Starr expanded the scope of his investigation, but with Tripp's unsolicited delivering of solid evidence of wrongdoing on Clinton's part made it impossible for him to not do so.

Quite a bit different from Mueller's tactics here.

   My Point @skeeter was that once these Genies (Special Prosecutors) are out the bottle, they tend to run a course of their own.  Sad really.

Did the President have anything to do with this shit that Manafart did a decade ago? Of course not, but that isn't going to stop the simple mind of the Trump hater to try and compare a cum soaked dress to some tax and loan cheating.

Yes they do. Making an unethical one even more of a threat of constitutional proportions.

Mad Max said that. She spelled it out. She said to attack everyone, him, his family, his staff, his neighbors, his doctors, his lawyers, anyone he has ever met, legally, physically, and verbally. That's exactly what they are doing. The Judge even indirectly pointed that out during the trial.

Even Dershowitz is feeling the heat and he is not even a Trump supporter. His 'crime' is that he doesn't hate him.

Their fanatic fascism is driven by fear. Washington D.C. is scared to death of Trump.

30 years maximum for one tax fraud count, folks.

30. years.

I know Manafort won't get the max, but three decades in prison for paying insufficient taxes to the federal government is insane.
