Manafort guilty on 8 counts
— Shimon Prokupecz (@ShimonPro) August 21, 2018
Manafort found guilty of 5 tax fraud charges, 1 charge of hiding foreign bank accounts, and two counts of bank fraud.
— Shimon Prokupecz (@ShimonPro) August 21, 2018
The judge has excused the Manafort jury. Ellis encouraged the jury not to talk to the press but did not bar them from doing so. He said, "I suggest to you that you have a duty of confidentiality."

Inevitable GOP talking points: there should be no restrictions on campaign finances (raising or spending) since “money is speech”, therefore any such laws are bad and should be ignored, therefore no action can be taken against president* Trump.
All of which points will be instantly forgotten the next time a Democrat gets accused/charged with campaign finance misdeeds.

Not that it really matters – even 10 is a death sentence for him. But I find that encouraging, even if the jury had some people who somehow couldn’t figure out that Manafort was guilty for the remaining 10 charges.

@Adam L Silverman: The Trump Org was Cohen’s client before he started his own practice in 2017. When he started his practice, he dropped the org and, at some point, picked up Broidy. From the court filing:
“For at least three other clients that we have identified in the period of 2017 to 2018, the work was more direct legal advice or dispute resolution–more traditional legal tasks. All of these clients are individuals. One of these legal clients is Donald J. Trump. Another legal client is Elliot Broidy. The third legal client directed Mr. Cohen to not to reveal the identity publicly.”
