But if it is a Democrat they will try him or her until they get a conviction or make something up. They are still trying to make something up on Hillary.

(99,708 posts)6. Wasn't it like 11-1 for acquittal ?
If that's the case trying him again seems like selective prosecution.

the DOJ is going after him because he is a Dem.
Sessions and the DOJ are completely corrupt.

Talk about a waste of taxpayer dollars.

(99,708 posts)10. In mistrials the jurors are usually polled.
It doesn't make a lot of sense for the state to pursue a case they were losing 10-2.
