re: Left is so unhinged, we can't even have a fair trial anymore. PM jury threatened

I don’t know why the right is as caught up in this trial. The investigation that lead up to it is the result of a low bidder....when was the last time a high profile case went before a jury and the state prevail? Unless Mannafort hired an attorney off the back of the yellow pages or was appointed one by the state he’s most likely gonna walk. I’d say about 80% chance he’s not convicted of anything. Mueller and company work for the government for a reason. I know nothing at all about any of the prosecuting attorneys but I’ll bet a Coca Cola that they have a fairly unimpressive record when a trial goes before a jury. I’m sure that they are very adept at strongarming folks with inadequate attorneys into accepting plea bargains but they failed that with Mannafort.

One would think tax evasion is a pretty easy charge to prove to a jury. It seems it should be quantifiable......but a tax attorney the likes of which Mannafort money can buy? Who knows what kind of reasonable doubt that person can create in the mind of a jury. Almost all “ convictions” result from plea bargaining because the state at every level is unable to find attorneys with skills enough to outgun a highly paid attorney earning their succor in the private sector.
