Manafort Juror Drops Bomb On Mueller Probe

In a recent interview, one juror from the Paul Manafort trial gave her thoughts on the Mueller investigation. This is an interesting perspective seeing as this is a woman who sat through the whole Manafort trial and ultimately found him guilty.

According to Fox News:

NORTHERN VIRGINIA –  Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team was one holdout juror away from winning a conviction against Paul Manafort on all 18 counts of bank and tax fraud, juror Paula Duncan told Fox News in an exclusive interview Wednesday.

“It was one person who kept the verdict from being guilty on all 18 counts,” Duncan, 52, said. She added that Mueller’s team of prosecutors often seemed bored, apparently catnapping during parts of the trial.

Duncan described herself as an avid supporter of President Trump, but said she was moved by four full boxes of exhibits provided by Mueller’s team – though she was skeptical about prosecutors’ motives in the financial crimes case.

“Certainly Mr. Manafort got caught breaking the law, but he wouldn’t have gotten caught if they weren’t after President Trump,” Duncan said of the special counsel’s case, which she separately described as a “witch hunt to try to find Russian collusion,” borrowing a phrase Trump has used in tweets more than 100 times.

Duncan also opined that Manafort deserved a ‘tax-audit’ not a criminal prosecution.
