What happens if Manafort is found Not Guilty?

[Taco John]

The media is trying to doxx the jury:

The judge will hold a hearing on a motion by CNN and media organizations to unseal the names and addresses of jurors as well as other parts of the trial that are currently secret.

“A thirsty press is essential in a free country,” the Judge said in announcing the hearing.

You've got to ask why?

They clearly fear an innocent verdict. An innocent verdict for Manafort would be a devastating blow to the media for how it makes them look. They've tried and convicted this guy already. No one needs him to be found guilty more than the media does.

I've always just assumed the guy was guilty. Especially once I heard he was involved with the Podestas. But the way the media is acting right now, it's looking like it might be a swing and a miss...

In a witch hunt you have to scrutinize the accusers a little more than you have. So far you've not provided any evidence that anybody's contact with Russians, which is legal, was collusion, yes?

Collusion is defined as cooperation. Yes, both Lyin' Junior and Papajohndapoulous cooperated with Russians in the hopes of getting dirt on Clinton. I didn't say that was illegal or not.

Say that the Russians had evidence that Clinton was homosexual and that's the truth. Do you think that could hurt her? Say she likes to molest collies. Hurt her?

In you scenario had she otherwise denied those things, or hidden them?

But because I believe in actually answering simple questions, certainly it would add to the list of things that make her deplorable to me. But it's still a silly question actually..

But you've failed to articulate how what was actually revieiled could hurt her, I want you to actually say it, then I want you to tell me if, in your opinion, the "could have" actually happened?

Are you going to answer or is it back to boring vs. checkmate?

So, in "The Mind of Donger", truth is dirt?

Sigh. She wouldn't have had to deny that she was bent for that truth to hurt her. Did you really not understand this?

We don;t know if anything was revealed or not. So I can't answer that.

What we do know is that Lyin' Junior and Papajohnpapoplous thought they were getting diry on Clinton that would do damage.

You agree with that fact, right?

It certainly can be, yes. Are you really this simple-minded?

Not in terms of the Trump/Russia collusion theory. He was busted for lying. The truth, as it turns out (at least from what we know publicly), doesn't implicate team Trump in any kind of wrongful collusion.

He's being charged with a process crime. You ****ing worthless moron. 6 months in jail and 9,500.00 dollar fine.
Now go play on the railroad tracks

I think I get what you're saying.. I think you're suggesting that she knew she had many things about her, traits and a history, that she knew many people would find highly disagreeable, and she wanted those things to be kept from the public that was being asked to, possibly, put her in what is arguably the most powerful office in the world, yes?

And while I hope I have that right, that's not really the question I've asked, my question remains (think cause and effect), how could that hurt her, and did it actually hurt her.

C'mon Ding-Dong, spit it out. Once you do, we'll all either agree or not agree with you. Does putting your opinion out there scare you that much, really?

Yes, he was. Busted for lying about his contacts with Russians trying to get dirt. He also kept a senior Trump campaign updated. Did you know that?

I'm not simple minded at all, but you're scared to answer a question.

I already answered you.

[GloryDayz]

Can I ask somebody to answer the question for Ding-Dong? Just end it with "/Ding-Dong", we'll know you're proxy-answering for him since he won't.

How "could" have people having the truth hurt Hillary's run for POTUS, and did that "could" actually happen?

I think if somebody answers for him, he might actually correct the reply with his version of the truth. Heck, it's at least worth a try. All I know right now is he refuses to go on record with how he thinks those dots connected.

Dear Ding-Dong,

Cough cough..
