Never mind the fact that the Virginia Manafort trial had the most HOSTILE judge in history, and half the jury was driving to the court house sporting MAGA hats....if they catch ONE JUROR with a Hillary bumper sticker on their car, they'll be squealing about deep state, left wing bias for weeks.

They are not fans of Donnie Two Scoops, so there's little to no chance Manafort will get a not guilty finding because of a Trump supporter on the jury. At the first trial, one juror -- a Trumper -- was the only one who refused to vote guilty on 10 counts. When asked what her "reasonable doubt" was, she couldn't articulate one. I was surprised they got as many convictions as they did.
