Paul Manafort Trial Now Enters Closing Arguments | Hallie Jackson | MSNBC

[nutflush]

Trump is an embarrassment to all true Americans

[fofk]

Peter Strzok was the best Russian buster this country had-- no wonder Twitler made sure he got fired!!!

[eltyris]

"...can I keep my Ostrich jacket?"

[DAYBROK]

how can anyone even those who are listening to just trump not realize that its very odd for a sitting president to be commenting about a tax and fraud case. basically it looks like there is something there that he doesnt want known, please someone who has experience with cases like this go over the papers.

[doclewis]

Do you think he realizes that it's HIS government that he's calling corrupt? I don't think so.

[robertgreen]

Will Donald J Trump be mad enough to pardon Paul Manafort? If it were the case, should GOP congressman and congresswomen continue to keep their mouths shut?

[keepmoving]

2 hour summaries??? Omg. Get those jurors caffeine!

[bryanstewart]

I hope Paul's lawyers know how to grovel.

[halhosmer]

They say Manifort's lawyers are good. But what can you do? Go to the Bahamas with his money.

[doclewis]

I think the fact that there's that email from manafort to gates and the one to jared AFTER the election. I think the fact that manafort was still doing work for the campaign and with jared and gates makes it easier for the jurors to decide. He basically made it easier by keeping in touch and the fact that he was involved after he left the campaign looks really bad for him. I'd love to be a fly on the wall in that jury room.

[ISIAHR]

I'm afraid that Paul is going to Prison!!

[Bobby_Digital]

Manafort will probably be convicted by Thursday... but the real question is will trump pardon Manafort?

[luisesparza]

no witnesses no defence? Is in the bag, defence has juror in the inside and possibly a judge, my opinion.

[ZackBite]

I got myself two large sugar popcorn and extra large Pepsi , is going to be a long night.

[rhimeralemuse]

The dog on trial, convicts it’s self by starring at the accuser, no need to make it’s own plea.

[RichWinder-jexn]

Will the finances of Paul,
be able to whither it all?
Will Trump be a Frump,
and in mid dump,
give Paul, a pardon type scrawl?

[alicecapone]

Manafort doesnt even have anything to defend himself.... Was he just oblivious committing the crimes and not knowing the consequences of what he was doing?

When the juries deliver their verdicts, and find him quilty, I can only imagine Manafort would probably say "but her emails... "😋😚

[rickai]

those jurors are going to put politics first before justice and country

[jsmcguireIII]

Manafort will be convicted on 17 of 18 counts and Trump will declare that proves he is innocent. LOL!!!! HE'S COO-COO FOR COCO PUFFS!!!!

[flabbybum]

General point. Isn't it unfair that the prosecution, who already have the might of the state on their side, also get the final word through rebuttal? That right always historically went to the defense.
