Once again, sleazy influence peddler extraordinaire Paul Manafort claims he can't find a jury of his peers in the home of sleazy influence peddlers.https://twitter.com/MikeScarcella/status/1034810658842394626 …

Again, on top of not supporting the claim that the most prejudicial coverage was in the last week, Manafort SEEMS to be making the case that Mueller has moved very quickly, contrary to POTUS' claims.pic.twitter.com/kozuZckVC5
Anyway, this is literally just a cut-and-paste from the EDVA motion, w/o any updating to support the new claim (that being convicted of 8 crimes gives you bad press). They are SO dialing things in at this point.
Law twitter: Can we discuss the timing of plea negotiations WHILE on verdict watch in EDVA? https://www.wsj.com/articles/manafort-sought-deal-in-next-trial-but-talks-broke-down-1535404819 … Making a plea deal only makes sense if you're sure Manafort is guilty in EDVA, right?
One more thing abt Manafort's change of venue request; recall that the influence peddling he's on trial for in the DC case is a bipartisan affair, featuring a guy named Podesta. So why should Hillary support in DC matter?
I live in Roanoke. We even have politics twitter down here!
Crazy right?
And stop trashing Southerners! Stick to insulting the subject, Manafort, and lay off the locals in both DC and Virginia.
Yup, we also have television and newspapers, and we understand how Google search works.
Yep and we even follow emptywheel on twitter dot com. Hmm, I wonder if that would be enough to get me out of jury duty if called?
Roanoke - Lynchburg is the #67 television market in the nation. It's in the top 100.
If it's being held in Fairfax, I would actually prefer to face peers outside of that sphere in this current environment, for obvious reasons. But Manafort is a creation of that place. Let them deal with their own.
It says Orange County. I have no idea.
Biased though!
And I thought ABJ said they would first try to find a suitable 12 given they have had high profile cases there in the past. How much can the defense muck up jury selection?
Not with ABJ, she is a very buckled down and good judge.
