Think about it in relation to Deripaska's Israeli connections and recall (as you're aware) that's a legally significant chunk of change to give someone about to travel through customs.

That's like the least nuts things about that story. It's like they tried to frame the dumbest !@#$ing spud on the planet, and Papadapalas (whatever - I don't care) said "You think I'm a dumb !@#$ing spud? Watch this..." I'm all for shutting this investigation down now, on the premise that all parties involve couldn't successfully conspire to order a !@#$ing Happy Meal, much less rig an election. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 20 hours ago, Deranged Rhino said: Mifsud problems. They tried passing off the western intelligence backed Mifsud as a Russian backed asset... and now are wondering why that canard isn't working any more. SHE WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO LOSE. That's the key fact to remember. Had she won, NONE of this would be investigated and the original lies told to the public (like Mifsud is a Russian asset) would have never been examined close enough to collapse in on itself.

Buffalo_Gal Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 14 hours ago, Deranged Rhino said: Papadopoulos gave the money to an attorney in Greece before traveling back to the U.S., a source told TheDCNF on the condition of anonymity. Papadopoulos was arrested at Dulles International Airport on a return trip from overseas on July 27, 2017. Nabbed him before he got through customs hoping to get him on the $10K undeclared. So when that failed, it then turns into lying to the FBI? Yeah, that doesn't smell at all, does it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Government steamroller flips an admitted liar and criminal, has unlimited resources and no downside whatsoever, and tosses the defendant in solitary confinement to get him to crack. Defense does nothing but counter the attacks. This case should have been returned with a guilty verdict in an hour, allowing 8 minutes to/from the jury room, 4 minutes for a bathroom break, 1 minute for the vote, and 47 minutes so it looked like they were deliberating. The government at it's worst is no better than the mafia at its best. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyBatty is alive Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) Manafort jury tells judge they cannot come to a consensus on one count Tremendous waste of money and the entire trial is meaningless to Trump and/or the lection.

Depends on what the verdicts are on the other counts. It would be a real slap in Mueller's face if he were acquitted of all but that hung count. However, it would be a waste of time to retry that hung count if he were convicted of some or all of everything else.

This is all about pressure and leverage to get him to do whatever they want (with a bit of '!@#$ you' thrown in). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are interpreting it as the jury saying they cannot come to a consensus "on even a single count"; others as "we have a consensus on all but one." The statements I've seen in reports are pretty clear. Reports could be wrong...but any divergence based on them is wishful thinking. Note "not having a consensus on one count" doesn't speak to what the consensus is on the other accounts, too. There's basically nothing to interpret here.
