Last night prosecutors filed a joint pretrial statement for Manafort's DC trial, expect their case to take 10-12 days, so roughly the same as the Virginia trial. Manafort says he's unsure whether he'll present a defense. If so, that will take 3-4 days.

Prosecutors plan to call as expert witnesses two FBI experts in forensic accounting and tracing, an IRS agent trained in taxation and accounting and will present "summary schedules of voluminous bank, tax, and other records."

Prosecutors also filed a 35-page exhibit last last night, which is filled with what appears to be lots of emails concerning Manafort's Ukrainian lobbying work.

1. How can the prosecutors keep TrumpHumpers off the jury?

Seems to be a major roadblock, considering the results of the last trial.

2. Its DC court.

Unlikely there would be any in the entire jury pool.

8. Bc people in DC listen to real news

And understand how the world works.
No surprise 95% of DC voted for HRC. Lots of people that know govt and so know the Republicans are the party of lies and propaganda.

5. Maybe, but they cant stop putin and the russian mob from buying or threatening a juror

If anyone thinks this isnt being done with every jury related to rump, they are wrong, simply wrong.

9. it would be irresponsible of mueller to not be on the lookout for that.

mentioned in another thread that you can bet there is some sort of surveillance on the jurors. at least watching them around the courthouse, and looking for sketchy characters trying to contact them.
maybe known manafort associates/russians that they would suspect could try that. they would be under every kind of surveillance.

i dont know how far he would/could go, but he is not doing nothing.

4. Not missing a beat at this point

I'm liking the flow of recent revelations.

6. Perhaps prosecutors will spend more on prospective juror

SCREENING. Facebook, and all social media. Consultants do this. The defense will do this - if Manafort doesn't flip. Cohen and the CPA are heavy bars to leap over for Manafort - unless he is sure of a juror fix it would seem.

7. If Manafort doesn't flip, probably cause he expects a pardon.

Trump is too unpredictable to make a pardon likely.
