NEW Manafort's Jury is being polled on whether they can come to decision by end of day on 10 other counts ( 8 are decided)

EDIT 3:

MSNBC says we'll get the verdict on the 8 counts today because the judge will declare a mistrial for the other 10 counts.

EDIT 4:

MSNBC says the verdict is GUILTY on at least some of the charges!

1. To echo past sentiments....

... let the wild speculation begin.

[Glimmer of Hope]

2. Now what?!!

[LandOfHopeAndDreams]

3. This Could Be It

Heard on MSNBC this morning that they will send a note when they have verdicts. Or they could still be deadlocked on one count, which means the judge will instruct them 1 last time to try again.

14. Dunno if the judge will instruct them to try again twice

Do that too much and defense will use it as grounds for appeal. Looks coercive.

4. What's a "gub"?

[Johnny2X2X]

5. So the note could be, "we're ready to read our verdict"

At this hour they'd still call parties back in to read the verdict.

8. "Shackles ready? We wanna go home!"

6. exclusive video of the note delivered today!

OK, I kid, I kid!

7. Considering the time of day, it *could* be that they've reached a verdict.

Or, they're still deadlocked on that one count.

9. I take these as good signs.

It means that they are taking their jobs seriously and not bowing to the will of ideologues on either side. And if the government's case is as strong on paper as people say it is, then these are all positive signs.

19. Ditto....

Sorry, a tad lazy.

10. "Juror #5 spilled water on the form. We need another one!"

[Claritie Pixie]

11. Prosecution, Defense, and Manafort are present in the courtroom.

[Johnny2X2X]

12. That means this is it right?

That was quick.

[Claritie Pixie]

15. Could be. Let's hope it is.

13. There are EIGHTY replies in seven minutes to Shimon's tweet here!!

Including

”Can you ask juror #4 to stop microwaving fish in the break room?"

16. I suspect they are done and ready to read the verdict.

This should be good.

17. If still hung on 1 count, judge may give them the "Allen Charge"

otherwise known as the "hammer" or "dynamite" charge, basically reading them the riot act about their duty to reach a verdict.

[bobGandolf]

18. Wish I was a fly.....

Not sure which way to view this. I've heard nothing but '...strong case says the prosecutor...' since the indictments, and Manafort's arrest.
My guess....not a slam dunk....he may be innocent of some charges.
Does anyone know what the questions from the jury were?

20. Verdict coming up

Shortly
