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.

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.

â€œI think the whole Manafort trial is very sad, when you look at whatâ€™s going on there. I think itâ€™s a very sad day for our country,â€ 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. â€œHe 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 itâ€™s very sad what theyâ€™ve done to Paul Manafort.â€

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yep. And just think.... if or when they regain power (and they will eventually).... they will make us ALL pay for not disliking Trump enough! They're out of the Fascist Closet and have nothing to lose by letting it all (ugly sight to behold) hang out.

Oh yes. The cat is out of the bag now. They know they are untouchable. The Hillary case taught them that they can do anything they want to do with impunity, no matter how blatant, obvious, and absurd it is and simply walk away.

Since they know now that no one is ever going to prosecute a Democrats, if they ever regain power they will go full authoritarian and full socialist. There is no need to even pretend that they care about the constitution or the law. The gloves will be off. Gun confiscation, open borders, abolish ICE, they will simply do it without regard to Congress or anyone or anything. They will simply enact it, and screw everything else.

No more Mr. NiceGuy.

All of this was looked at years ago and no charge was filed.

Rep. Adam Schiff of California says Manafortâ€™s conviction on eight financial crime charges and former Trump lawyer Cohenâ€™s guilty plea to campaign-finance violations and other charges proves the Trump campaign embraced individuals with a history of dishonest business dealings as well as concerning ties to overseas interests.

The judge told the jurors he planned to keep their names under seal, and asked if any of them wished to have the confidentiality lifted. They shook their heads and said no. And then they left.

You got it. I suggest that those that stopped arming up when Trump got elected....resume that preparation... for when Trump is out of office. And today is not looking good for the GOP's chances now that the taint of corruption has been thrown onto Trump via Cohen and Mannafort. This will get worse. The left has nothing to lose.

U.S. Senator Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, warned President Donald Trump on Tuesday over a possible pardon for his former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort. â€œAny attempt by the President to pardon Mr. Manafort or interfere in the investigation into his campaign would be a gross abuse of power and require immediate action by Congress,â€

Do it Trump pardon him!
