Federal law, however, i am not surprised that he was convicted on the tax charges. tax perjury is a very easy charge to make out. you essentially ask when he signed -- when he tested to the part about perjury that we all do with our tax forms, was that false. so thats an easier charge to make. the f bar charges maybe the jurors struggled with that, maybe one juror struggled with that, we dont know right now, but in any case like this these charges are in the substantial minority of federal charg...

Knowledge, willfulness, was manafort deliberately omitting information on tax forms. was it his responsibility to report it or was it someone elses and direct evidence. did the judge present direct evidence that manafort knew or are they asking the jury to infer that he knew about some of this illicit activity. so, again, next up, we will have the defense speaking. we will have the judge give the jury those instructions. sources close to the defense team has told fox news, melissa that they dont...
