re: #121 The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge

Have we heard anything about the judge’s jury instructions in this case? How much kneecapping of the prosecution did he do? This guy needs to be…what’s the word? Defrocked? And then disbarred.

Very standard jury instructions… Manafort didn’t have to take the stand and the like.

The judge was in the prosecutors “side” for the three motions today.

Closing arguments was all about documents. And manafort’s emails that he sent/received. yes gates was a shithead and he stole money from Manafort but it was unreported dirty money. They did a good close.

The closing for the defense was, IMHO, pretty lame.

WaPo has the whole day (Google Manafort day 12 and it’ll come right up).
