Put the trial in jeopardy. Lol. People's names and the charges they face are a matter of public record in the US. What are you blokes doing wrong this time?

So are they here. What's that got to do with whether he put the trial in jeopardy or not? Are you saying that all he did was mention the names and charges of the accused?

...and the charges that were possible but opted against. And publicized the trials. I'm sure he totally tampered with the jury though. Totally.

I mean... it's all on video. You can watch him harassing people going into the courthouse.

But I don't expect to convince you. You have this narrative cemented in your mind of a tyrannical country that hates freedom of speech and locks up political dissidents. Because that's how Tommy and his fans have portrayed it and Right-Wing American media has taken up that narrative as well.

Talking to people. 13 months in prison. Totally just.

Manafort could face up to 20 years for 'talking to people'. Is that unjust?

e/ talking about the witness tampering charges btw.

Just to be fair, it looks like ~10,000 brits don't like it either. That was a pretty big protest.

:lol:

2 million marched against the war in Iraq. That still happened. 10,000 is nothing... even if there were 10,000 at the 'protest' which I doubt.

The Guardian says 15,000. And this was just for one guy who was jailed, not a whole war.

K... so what?

Now we know there are at least 15,000 idiots in Britain.

Not exactly news.

I'm not disagreeing with your take on the incident. I was just saying 15K Brits were.
