Trial #2 is about to start. Manafort now heads across the Potomac to the Federal Court in D.C. on September 17th where he faces 8 felony counts:

conspiracy against the United States,
conspiracy to launder money
Acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign principal,
Making false and misleading FARA statements,
Making false statements,
obstruction of justice,
conspiracy to obstruct justice.
witness tampering


The Judge in the case is Judge Amy Berman Jackson, appointed to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia by President Obama in 2010 and was confirmed by the Senate 97-0

The lead Prosecutor from the Special Counsels Office is Jeannie Rhee, "a former partner at WilmerHale who has served in the Office of Legal Counsel and as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia." In 2000, Rhee served as an Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Columbia. From 2009 to 2011, Rhee served as a deputy assistant attorney general and provided counsel to the former Attorney General Eric Holder. She specializes in white collar crime and cybercrime.

IDK but the rocket docket in VA didn't even let the prosecution present much of the evidence in open court. I was just going by that.

I think this is little more than a message for Trump to hurry the F up with the pardon

That's very interesting. What it tells you is that people with strong opinions can still put them aside to apply the law to the facts. They take that juror oath seriously.

The fear is always that some juror will lie about bias and view their role as to block whichever side they disagree with. Like some kind of higher duty.
