Regardless of the verdict for conspiracy or failing to register as a foreign agent, he's not escaping tax fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering. 

 

 

Well, worst case, most cynical scenario if even one true Trump believer makes it into the jury they can get Manafort off, right?

 

I am not familiar with jury protocol, if it becomes clear a juror is doing a DVD donkey impression no matter how airtight the evidence is, is there a way to replace that juror or is retrying the case the best they can do?

If there's a bias, the other side can protest to the judge, and in some cases (not often), the judge will disqualify the juror. They usually have two alternate jurors that have been there for the case that immediately can take that spot.

Manafort isn't into having group sex himself, he just likes forcing his wife into it so he can watch.
