^^ After reading the WaPo article, its just one count. We do not know for now how many counts the jury has taken up so far. Judge Ellis in his instructions today is still asking for a unanimous verdict. With 18 counts, i will take as many guilty verdicts that can be had for now since there is still another trial. Defense will have a much harder time since they have already played their hand. Rick gates may be complicit but this trial is about Manafort and what he did. Gates directly did not benefit from this tax evasion since it was Manafort's company.
