I think they'll convict Manafort on all charges, but this judge seems biased to me. No hyperbole, or irrationality from me, he has again and again berated the SC team, from the beginning, in what he knows is a very high profile trial. I guess you can say he's ruled in their favor many times, but he has never dressed down the defense for filing absurd motions, among other things, with the same vigor he has came at the SC prosecutors.
The judge is a ccon and attention whore he’s trying to make a name so when he retires he can get a tv show or be an analyst on one of the networks
