Lijkt er dus op dat ze er, op één aanklacht na, uit zijn.quote:Jury asks what happens if they can't come to consensus on one count
The jury asked in a note signed by the foreman today: "If we cannot come to a consensus for a single count, how can we fill in the verdict sheet?"
The jury note also said they needed a new verdict sheet, and they asked what not coming to a conclusion would mean for the "final verdict."
Volgens mij is het antwoord op de vraag overigens dat dan voor de aanklacht waar ze niet uit komen een nieuwe rechtszaak zal moeten komen met een nieuwe jury, en de rest wel gewoon berecht kan worden in deze zaak, maar pin me er niet op vast.

Cohen op weg naar een deal

quote:Ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen discussing plea deal with prosecutors
The deal could come as early as today, say sources familiar with the matter.
Michael Cohen, President Trump's former personal attorney, is discussing a possible guilty plea with federal prosecutors in Manhattan in connection with tax fraud and banking-related matters, multiple sources familiar with the matter tell NBC News.
Those sources stress no deal has been reached but do say the potential deal could be reached as early as today.
The plea could have significant implications for Trump, who has blasted Cohen ever since his former fixer and his attorney, old Clinton hand Lanny Davis, began signaling this summer that Cohen might cooperate with special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.
When reached by NBC, Davis said he cannot comment on advice of counsel since there is an ongoing investigation. Cohen has previously denied wrongdoing.
The Cohen probe is being led by the office of the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York in Manhattan, but any cooperation agreement would likely extend to other federal investigations.
Cohen, who once bragged he'd take a bullet for Trump, hinted in July that may have changed. "I put family and country first," he told ABC.
In addition to bank and tax fraud questions arising from Cohen's taxi business, federal prosecutors are looking into whether the hush-money payments Cohen arranged with women who claimed they had sexual encounters with Trump amount to violations of campaign finance law.
FBI agents raided Cohen’s office and hotel room in April and seized documents and electronics. According to people with knowledge of the search warrant, agents were looking for information related to a $130,000 transaction between Cohen and adult film star Stormy Daniels, who allegedly had an affair with Trump more than a decade ago, as well as information about a reported payment of $150,000 to former Playboy model Karen McDougal, who also says she had an affair with Trump, and information about the “Access Hollywood” tape in which Trump was heard making vulgar boasts about women.
The FBI has also monitored his phone calls with a pen register, meaning that the incoming and outgoing phone numbers were recorded but not the content of the calls.
In July, Davis released a phone conversation that Cohen secretly recorded in which Trump mentions “cash” in relation to a possible payment involving McDougal.
Made two months before the presidential election, the tape appears to show Cohen, who was Trump's personal attorney at the time, discussing "how to set the whole thing up with funding." At one point, Trump appears to ask "what financing?" and seems to ask "pay with cash?"
Cohen appears to then say "No, no, no, no, no, no, I got ..." before Trump is heard saying, or asking, "check," and then the recording abruptly ends. Although the exact wording on the tape is unclear at times, it does make it clear that Trump was aware of the model's allegation of the affair and the plans to pay to ensure her silence.
Several major companies say Cohen contacted them after Trump’s upset victory in the 2016 president election promising access to the new administration. An official with the pharmaceutical company Novartis said the company signed a one-year, $1.2 million contract with Cohen, and AT&T also said it has met with Cohen. AT&T confirmed in an email to employees saying it had hired “several consultants” in early 2017 to help it “understand” the incoming administration.
Both Novartis and AT&T said they had been contacted by Mueller’s investigators.
Cohen, 51, was a vice president of the Trump Organization when he left the company in May. A former personal injury lawyer, he began working for the company in 2007 after helping Trump win a fight with the board at his condominium tower near the United Nations. He also owns numerous taxi medallions, which allow drivers to operate yellow cabs in New York.
He became known for taking aggressive action to defend Trump’s interests.

Ik verwacht geen unanieme vrijspraak op 17 van de 18 aanklachten. Volgens mij heeft Manafort een probleem.quote:Op dinsdag 21 augustus 2018 17:42 schreef clumsy_clown het volgende:

Ik ben benieuwd naar de reactie van Trump als Manafort vandaag neergaat èn Cohen een deal sluit. Wat ik las:
- Niemand meer security clearance
- Extreme rant op twitter waar geen touw aan vast te knopen is.
- Oproep richting 2A mensen om iets tegen Mueller te doen.
- Oorlog met Iran uitlokken.

Ach ja. Maximale straf voor Manafort is 305 jaar.
Ik denk niet dat hij dat uit hoeft te zitten.

Nou ja, in het onwaarschijnlijke geval dat op dezelfde dag én Manafort schuldig bevonden wordt én Cohen een plea deal blijkt te hebben ondertekend, gaat het voor Kelly wel erg moeilijk zijn om Trumps dikke vingers van z'n iPhone af te houden, gok ik zo.quote:

A judge in Washington D.C. on Monday ruled in favor of Christopher Steele, the former British intelligence officer who authored an unverified dossier alleging ties between President Trump's campaign and Russia.
In the ruling reported by The Guardian, Steele's motion to dismiss a case filed by three Russian billionaires arguing that Steele had defamed them in the dossier was thrown out a judge who ruled that the three men had not sufficiently proved that Steele knew any information in the dossier to be false.
Republicans and allies of President Trump have erroneously accused the FBI of beginning an investigation into the Trump campaign's alleged ties to Russia based off claims made in the Steele dossier, while the investigation was actually launched due to comments former aide George Papadopoulous made to Australian officials.
The ruling was not on the merits of the information itself, The Guardian noted, and instead hinged on whether Steele acted with malice to defame the businessmen.
The three men, Mikhail Fridman, Petr Aven and German Khan, own stakes in Alfa Bank, a Russia-based bank that was alleged in the dossier among other charges to have been involved in illicit payments made to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Alfa has denied the charges, telling The Guardian in a statement that it "strongly disagreed" with the judge's findings and that the company would "almost certainly appeal" the decision.
Steele's attorney, Christy Hull Eikhoff, told the newspaper that attacks on Steele's credibility were "baseless" and that Steele would continue to fight any legal claims arising from his work on the dossier.
"We will continue to defend against baseless attacks on Chris and hope that the result of this case will be a message to those who seek to intimidate Chris and his company," she said.

Vraag is wat Cohen terug moet doen voor een deal. Hij is in ieder geval al gespot bij een FBI kantoor.quote:CNBC cameras in Manhattan spotted Michael Cohen entering a building that houses the FBI field office in New York at about 1:45 pm.
