        Jury tampering ? Or that they’re taking longer than if it was slam dunk ?

        Defense calls no witnesses. Overwhelming evidence to convict. The prosecutions witnesses. They should’ve come back within the hour with guilty verdict, and that would include the time they spent having a cup of coffee. I’m still holding out hope that justice will prevail.

        I’m not holding my breath. Either Manafort’s “people” got to someone on the jury or he knows a pardon will be coming. Why else is he so blasé? This is jury tampering by the President of the United States, straight up and out in the open.

        If he knows a pardon is coming (it is) why would he even stress out? He doesn't have to worry about anything except the state tax evasion charges which will come if he's pardoned. No way will jury acquit on all the charges.https://act.biologicaldiversity.org/onlineactions/kI6tpzUoukShooLX4Dpeqw2?sourceID=1004352&utm_source=ad&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=currentalerts …

        Blame it on Josh. I already have. Autocorrecting "marshal" to "Marshall" is the flip side of what I get swyping "Bannon": it autocorrects to "Baboon". Every time.

        How do you know? After trying 50 or so cases, the one thing I aboutabout juries is that you NEVER know what they are going to do.

        I am so sorry. It is hard to keep faith. But so far it has been the judicial branch of government that has kept us afloat

        How could they possibly expect these jurors to NOT see/hear media coverage of this trial?? All that flap about 1 juror being compromised was Ellis' gift 🎁to the defense. Idiot Ellis is supplying Manafort's grounds for appeal. 👉 How hard is that to discern??

        Why the fuck isn't the jury being sequestered this weekend??? Someone tell me the prosecution at least raised the issue today, especially with the revelation that Ellis has been threatened and with Trump opining that Manafort is being treated unfairly, etc. This is madness.

        Also, idiot Ellis denied the prosecutors' request for jurors to see photos of pertinent exhibits, leaving jurors to muddle through now in deliberation, trying to sort each photo with the corresponding charge. Ellis threatened? Please, get him to a retirement facility. 🏨
