in a trial prosecutors will say if you have information on the bigger fish, the more uncomfortable finds that you will actually convict, of course he will not be associated with fire boys, you have to believe this witness, he is despicable with his conduct that is credible in that he was part of the organization or whatever it was. that is often called into question and also why corroborating evidence is so important on the part of the prosecutors so the jury can feel comfortable with both forms of evidence. we had one of the manafort jurors speak with us, the day after the trial that was interesting because the
exactly. this is why during the trial prosecutors want to get the judge to permit it. so there was some question that whether or not the judge had admitted stuff, he had, and whether or not he would per in it government to publish it to the jury and he did not. now you re seeing the ramifications. the jurors want a road map. what stuff goes to what count? this helps me. we focused around the intrigue of the federal savings bank and the supposed job offer to the secretary of the army, to the ceo of that bank, and a lot of most provocative physical evidence we saw, e-mails and such, one with jared kushner where he said he was would it the job recommendation. we knew we could see the pieces of evidence because they were published by the court. we couldn t tell if the jury had seen them. and it was judge s decision, you re saying, to not show that stuff to the jury during the course of the trial.
the answer to those two questions matters a lot. but i ve had that question in my trials time and time again. not every time but time and time again. and i think in every case we ended up with a conviction. that doesn t mean we ll have one here but i wouldn t overindex on it. in terms of the other questions from the jury, this has been discussed, sort of fought over before the jury got the case, was whether or not the indictment itself is something that the jurors could look at, whether it is an exhibit that they could look at and they asked, could they please have a copy of the indictment and the judge ultimately said no. i think they ll get a copy of the indictment. my understanding of what they wanted was tell us of all the exhibits now in trial and sitting on a big stack on our desk, which exhibits go to which counts. so they wanted an index. exactly. this is why during the trial prosecutors want the judge to permit them to show the exhibits to the jury during trial. we cal
the president is saying. the manafort trial prosecutors don t even expect their witnesses to say the words donald trump. it s separate issues, financial crimes, unrelated to his work specifically for the trump campaign. that said, the president is clearly upset about the special counsel investigation that is leading to this trial, a trial which is, in fact, concrete evidence of the special counsel s investigations work even though we don t know how it ll turn out. you have 12 russians indicted a couple weeks ago for interfering with the election in addition to the russians who were indicted before that. does the president also believe that work is a disgrace and should come to an end? i am almost certain he feels that way. he cannot separate collusion from election meddling from following the money with paul manafort. this is a big deal and sends a clear signal to the president that this so-called witch hunt is not ending. it is the first trial to come out of robert mueller s inves
