That guy that was Trump’s campaign manager for two months

Paul Manafort. He’s on trial for tax evasion and related charges from over a decade ago? Somehow this is part of the special counsel investigation but it’s tough to understand how. Case has gone to jury. And the jury is now asking for definition of “reasonable doubt.”

The judge. :tears

Exhibit A for anyone asking why so few cases go to trial.

I've been trying to read about the case against him and it doesn't make any sense. He's being charged with bank fraud for allegedly lying on loan applications about his personal assets, but it seems like he's paid all of his loans so nobody has any damages. It doesn't make any sense.

If they don't get a substantive conviction here, does the whole "probe" unravel??

This has nothing to do with the probe, best I can tell, so no. It’s just extremely weird Mueller’s team is even handling this.

lol

The issue came up in the case, and it was ruled that it was within the scope of the probe. For real.  I hadn't been following it, but the more I read, the more bizarre it becomes.

The defense didn't even put on witnesses. They just roasted the Fed's star witness on cross. The Feds put on 11 days of forensic evidence to a jury that needs clarification on the burden of proof.

What you just described happens all the time in criminal trials.

Only shitty attorneys get stuck doing criminal law, bub.

Hopefully the president reads the board and obtains different counsel

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

Why?  The prosecutor is putting on a guy who openly admits stealing from the defendant as its star witness.

Some of the finest firms in the country specialize in white-collar criminal defense. In fact, every elite law firm has such a practice, you dolt.

His current attorney was mired for decades in criminal law

He's already the libtard scapegoat for this ridiculous case

Criminal law is for solos and people who finish in the bottom third of their class, and you rough ridin' know it. Dont be a dolt.

They're either psuedo cops or left wing conspiracy theory whackadoos that hate cops.

The "finest firms" (lol). Much like waste management has one trash man ceo and 50,000 trash men.

White-collar criminal defense is big business. You'd have a tough time finding a single prestigious biglaw firm without a practice group (other than, like, boutique IP firms). So, you're wrong.

You might as well be speaking French to him

This seems like par for the course in your run of the mill decade old tax evasion trial

You've abandoned arguing my point, and instead moved on to a contrived disagreement,  so I win per usual.
