Paul ManaFraud jury deliberations

[donkeypoofed]

I'm stuck at work today- any updates ?!

I don't much doubt the verdict, so now it's just a matter of when.

Wonder how any years he'll get.

Also - I don't see a Pardon coming. The Russian Mob and the Mobster in the WH can't have ManaFraud talking about all that money laundering. So he either keeps a clamp on his mouth or he'll be offed to keep him quiet forever. The threat of gutting his wife and daughters should keep him sufficiently quiet.

1. Nothing yet. I follow several reporters who have been tweeting about the trial.

One just tweeted a few minutes ago that there is still no news.

2. One of my go-to reporters just posted:

All still quiet as we wait for a verdict. #ManafortTrial

3. I do like "ManaFraud" even better than "Manafart"

4. Lots of media outside, just in case

they reach a verdict today.

5. Taking quite a while. There are many charges but....

6. Do we know if the jury needs to complete a questionaire on each of the charges?

The last time I sat on a federal trial, we had about a 20 page questionaire we needed to respond to...and that was only for 3 charges.

7. There are a lot of charges. It would have been a minor miracle if they got it all done today.

8. Little update...lunch is served, no verdict yet:

Verdict Watch: Six hours ago the jury began deliberations in
the Paul Manafort trial. Jurors worked through lunch - CNN
saw a court employee deliver food and drinks to the jury
room around noon.

11. It's a complicated case with lots of documentary evidence

I hope the jury takes its time deliberating and gets to a verdict that all of them feel good about. Then I hope that Paul Manafort goes to prison for the rest of his natural life.
