George Conway Predicts 12 Jurors Won’t Vote to Acquit Trump: ‘Best Shot’ for the Defense Is Just One Holdout

CONWAY: “All of the testimony that we heard just has Trump neck-deep in all of this, and it’s gonna be hard for the jury not to conclude that the he didn’t cause all of this, and it’s gonna be hard for the jury not to conclude that the purpose of it was to aid the election campaign, in which case it was a campaign finance violation. So, the defense has its work cut out for them, but all the defense has to do is convince one juror to hang the group. I don’t think they can get an acquittal. I don’t think they’re going to get 12 votes unanimously to acquit him. I think their best shot, and that’s what they’re going to do, is hope that there’s just some person on the jury who just refuses to convict, but I think that’s going to be really, really hard with Trump having signed eight of those checks and also the attempts to — so much other evidence, but the attempts to basically conceal it all. I’m not sure how a good outcome, other than possibly a luck-of-the-draw mistrial on a jury, 11-1 or 10-2, I don’t see a good outcome for Donald Trump out of this.”
