Manafort Juror Has Damning Revelation About Russian Collusion

While Robert Mueller’s Special Counsel was authorized to investigate alleged collusion between members of the Russian government and Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, it’s done anything but.

Just think of those campaign members indicted so far: George Papadopoulos, Michael Flynn, Rick Gates, Paul Manafort, and Michael Cohen. Papadopoulos and Flynn were charged with lying to the FBI (under extremely suspicious circumstances), while Gates and Manafort faced charges of money laundering and tax evasion. Cohen is the only person who was under investigation because of something Russia related (because of his alleged crimes as outlined in Christopher Steele’s dossier). And yet, even Cohen didn’t face a single charge that had anything to do with Russia.

That proves that the Special Counsel is the witch hunt President Trump says it is.

In the recent case of Manafort, despite none of his charges having anything to do with Russia, the prosecution still tried to bring in that non-existent angle into the courtroom, according to one juror.  That juror, Paula Duncan, appeared on Fox News’ Shannon Bream last night to tell her “Crazily enough, there were even tears. Two of the jurors — one of the females that did finally change her vote to guilty — would come in one day and say guilty and then the next day say, ‘I felt pressured. I want to change my vote back.’ So, there is a lot of back-and-forth,” Duncan said. “Finally, once again, we got all those documents to come up with them in front of her and she changed her vote to guilty again.”

She did note that while the charges against Manafort were legitimate, they had nothing to do with Russia or collusion. “Well, the charges were legitimate, but the prosecution try to make the case about the Russian collusion right from the beginning, and, of course, the judge shut them down. We did waste a bit of time with [those] shenanigans” she added. Perhaps the prosecution just had to give some sort of facade that Manafort’s trial had something to do with Russia.

Watch the full interview below:

In the end, Manafort was found guilty of five tax fraud charges, one charge of hiding foreign bank accounts, two counts of bank fraud, and zero charges of Russian collusion.
