Cause a bunch of you are chicken littleing over what really amounts to common judge nitpicks against prosecutors and defense attorneys alike. Toxx if you're so confident Manafort's gonna walk or get a slap on the wrist.

I would generally agree that seeing a picture of this has gently caress-all to do with proving any kind of tax evasion or foreign money corruption.

It helps characterize the frivolity, who in the gently caress would wear something that looks like the 50-foot woman's poorly shaved bush, much less pay a fuckload of money for it, if they weren't into just slinging ridiculous amounts of money around for stupid poo poo which indicates a far greater amount of wealth retained for important poo poo.

You seem very confident in your separation from 2018’s reality so I will toxx that Manafort ends up walking if you toxx for the contrary.

I would have preferred if Manafort could be allowed to defend his purchases if he busted into a song, but it's probably hard to make lyrics that fit in 'ostrich jacket'.

I'll take that action. Non-perma ban?

It's not so much confidence, it's that the events of today, I've seen it happen before with other trials.

The Bundy's getting off was mostly due to the prosecutorial equivalent of going for a Harlem Globetrotters style dunk when a layup was all that was needed to get the job done. I don't see that happening here.
