So what's Fox News reporting on now? Let me guess, Hillary's emails? Or like, some other random nonsense?

Comparing it to this list, https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/15/what-charges-does-paul-manafort-face.html, it looks like they couldn't decide on 3 counts of failing to file foreign bank account reports, 2 counts of bank fraud, and the bank fraud conspiracy. Seeing as they found him guilty on all 5 of the tax fraud counts and yet not on any of the conspiracy counts, my hot take is there was a Gates credibility question among the jury.

Im expecting Trump to try spinning that mistrial hard to work his witch hunt narrrative.
Something like:

Wicked mueller couldnt get enough evidence in his corrupt witch hunt to convict paul manafort who is a good man folks. Total miscarriage of justice.

Just with more grammatical/spelling errors than i have

If this were a TV show, I'd give it a negative review for having too many crazy plot developments in one episode. What is going on, America?!

Seems so random. The other counts are in the same realm. I wonder did they just want to go easy on him.

Glad to be wrong on this one.

Pundits said that some of the charges may have had too much wiggle room for reasonable doubt. Like wire fraud or something like that. The technicalities could have made a juror go either way.

From the charges, Cohen will probably be treated worse than Al Capone, who only got 11 years in jail for his crimes. Sad!
