Judge ABJ, pointedly: Question of collusion or conspiracy w/Russia was not presented in this case

Natasha Bertrand @NatashaBertrand
Judge ABJ, pointedly: The question of collusion or conspiracy with Russia was not presented in this case, therefore it was not resolved in this case.
(Manafort lawyer Kevin Downing had said last week that the Virginia trial proved there was no evidence of collusion.)

So that the dotard and the rest of the MAGAt party minions (fox news included) could say that even the judges said "there was no collusion".

If Manafort is pardoned, does he still have to pay the big fines?
