Manafort didn't need to put on a defense, the judge did it for him. What a sorry state of affairs.

1. One would hope that if things don't turn out because of the judge's blatant interference (...

did the judge interfere because rump called him?) that prosecutors would retry the case...

3. They cannot re-try the case unless the Jury hangs. A not guilty verdict is the game.

I’ve said from the beginning of this trial, the judge was against the prosecution. One can only ponder the reasons.

I will take their word over the one person here.
