10 dropped for mistrial

Manafort found guilty on 8

I'm sure they are going to spin this with the mistrial and that's all they will talk about

So does trump pardon him prior to sentencing??

[hutch]

Well that is a relief for me though I don’t know gravity of counts.,.,busy looking at relics from S S Republic

I was getting worried there would be a mistrial on all 18

thank god that team trump deported Jakiw Palij

I was really concerned a 95 year old nazi prison guard was going to start some trouble
now they can say they deport white people too

So does trump pardon him prior to sentencing??

Can't do it yet.  It could be a bargaining chip for the potential retrial of the 10 counts, plus Manafort has 7 more charges to answer for in DC including obstruction of justice, failure to register as a foreign agent and conspiracy to launder money.

This is just the beginning for Manafort...

Anti-Trump images become big business for DC projectionist

Bell's first projection onto the hotel was a callback to insider-Washington activist history: "Experts agree: Trump is a Pig." Identical phrasing was used to describe President Ronald Reagan's attorney general, Edwin Meese, on posters that mysteriously appeared around Washington in 1987 and were later revealed to be the work of Jeff Nelson, drummer for the D.C. punk band Minor Threat.
