Politics Manafort goes on trial tomorrow

[julius]

I heard on the news tonight that they called 27 witnesses. Seems like that ought to be more than enough.

Nope, those 3 are the only thing Mueller has going for him, and without him Benghazi happened.

He actually rescues stray cats, sells them, and donates the money to Planned Parenthood.

C'mon Sly, I'm a dog person all the way.

Pretty standard filing, we'll see.

Looks like Mueller decided these 3 would simply prove Manafort's innocence even further than Gates did, as all 3 seem to have used him, rather than been cohorts. Just like Gates did.

Maybe the defense will call them as hostile witnesses?

This isn't the last Manafort-related trial, you know.

It could be, depending on the outcome.

Cross your fingers, your toes and any other human body parts and you're still gonna come up with at least one more criminal trial.

Yeah, we'll see alright. We'll see Mr. Manafort head for prison.

 

[yankeesince59]

...Manafort may not be found guilty of ALL charges but he won't walk either.

MOTION DENIED!

 

[Chris Craig]

Closing statements tomorrow...then its prison time. I wonder how long it will take the jury

This is the kind of fantasy that can only be either the result of heavy drugs or mental illness. Manafort is going down.

Alot of psychics in this thread.

I would say a lot of people with common sense, I don't know of anyone that claims to be a psychic in the thread.

Don't need to be a psychic to know what's going to happen to Manafort.

Of course, we all thought we knew what was going to happen to OJ.

Yes, once again, I wasn't speaking literally. I'm sorry you have a difficult time with sarcasm. I can quite easily look through the couple pages of the thread to see that nobody actually, literally claimed to be psychic. I am aware of this. It doesn't make you appear smarter to point out such obvious things (nor does correcting minor grammatical errors), it just makes it appear as though you don't fully understand the things people post on here.

Are you having difficulty with sarcasm thrown back at you?

 

[riverman]

This trial will be quickly decided but he faces another trial in 5 weeks with a new jury for peddling influence with foreign politicians ..it'll be a less cut and dried conviction than his tax evasion and money laundering banking fraud that this trial addressed...next one will have some teeth in the Mueller investigations.

 

[jonnyboy]

No, why? He wasn't being sarcastic in his comment, unless you consider blatant grammar corrections part of the fine art.

Good looking one liner, though. It just wasn't relevant this time.

 

[barfo]

I don't know whether this is true or not, but it's pretty damn funny:

Roger Stone says that when he told radio host Randy Credico to "prepare to die cock sucker,” he wasn't threatening Credico, but simply offering words of support after Credico's cancer diagnosis

...It was very obvious that he recognized the "sarcasm" for what it was...and responded accordingly.

I presume your last two lines had nothing to do with me and so I want to be clear that I did not intend my remark as any kind of sarcasm.

I'm going to take this opportunity to remind you that I care about everyone, which includes you, because I believe in the human soul and I believe in cherishing each and every human soul.

I'll also remind you that I'm imperfect yet striving to improve. I've got a long way to go.

Sorry about going so far off track but every once in a while I feel the need to confess and redouble my efforts to treat my fellow man better. It feels cleansing.

 

[MarAzul]

It feels cleansing.

Damn!

Asshole in full bloom!

The personal insults HAVE TO STOP!

I have given Cup and Marzy a 1 day ban from posting in THIS thread.

They are free to post anywhere else on the site.

This is all your posts. Rarely any substance, just smug insults and emojis.

 

[Chris Craig]

I wonder if Trump will pardon Manafort once he is found guility...probably

 

[Chris Craig]

Deliberations to begin shortly
