Manafort Trial

[Chicks]

The Most Blissfully Trump-Twitter-Free Place in America
Welcome to the money-laundering trial of Paul Manafort, where facts still matter.

No matter how theatrical or misguided the trial is, to spend a day in the courtroom is to be reminded of a different era in our civic life, when basic facts were not subject to the President’s* endless, self-serving, and utterly misleading spin.

Defense rests without a single witness. They must be counting on either a pardon from Donny, or an idiot Trumpkin on the jury.

Sounds like the fix is in some way or other....

Manafort’s generous banker? Yet another grifter. Perfect fit for this corrupt administration.

Betting odds 90% for conviction, up from 83% yesterday.

Let’s hope there are no Whell-like cultists on the jury.

Heh. The internet doesn't forget, Sean. Corruption "won" this election, corruption runs rampant in this administration.

Jurors in Paul Manafort trial send judge four questions, including asking him to redefine reasonable doubt

Redefine reasonable doubt?! Seriously?

This verdict should be a slam dunk - guilty on all counts.

There must be a Whell-like moron on the jury, sigh. Another OJ Simpson verdict? Please no!

Trump Defends Manafort, a ‘Very Good Person’ Whose Trial Is ‘Very Sad’

No, Donny. It’s very sad that a very bad, amoral person like you exists, much less occupies the same office as the great leaders who came before you. You are beneath contempt.

Jury went home for the weekend before reaching a verdict, not a good end to this week. They are supposed to insulate themselves from news etc., but with the Dotards tweet from today, who knows what effect this could have on the verdict.

Paul Manafort never believed the rules applied to him; I know — I worked with him for a decade

...making him a natural ally with the Trump crime syndicate.
