Trump will declare victory and complete exoneration even though he's not the one on trial.

I wouldn't demean any jury...even the oj Simpson jury who had no choice but find not guilty...in federal trials, the juries do their jobs almost always correct. In this trial, the defense only defense is the govt fabricated all the charges, coherced all the witnesses and made up all the evidence, no jury is going to swallow that crap. Manafort will be guilty on most if not all charges.

Scamster criminals like Manafort and Trump have the rest of us footing the bill for the cost of running the country because they refuse to pay taxes. The $15,000 for the ugly ostrich jacket should have gone into the treasury coffers.
