Then the prosecution decides whether or not to retry all that resulted in a mistrial.

Since this is a Jihad, retrial seems likely.

They can't reach a consensus on one of the 18 counts. The Judge said it would result in a "partial verdict", but I don't know what that means. Anyone know?

If there is a partial guilty verdict does that mean they have to let the partial part go free? Sounds like Portia's judgement solution in the Merchant of Venice case.

Mueller handed off the Manafort trial to the Southern District court of New York, it no longer has anything at all to do with Mueller's witch hunt.

They don't have to come to a decision on everything, there are something like 18 counts, any one that they can arrive at decisions on is good to go.

Considering the documents the judge left the jury to sort through that should have been handled during the trial, it is leaving them a charge by charge process of looking at and digesting the evidence, evidence that should have had proper explanations during the trial. Trials typically can take two weeks just because of what the jury has to belooking at.

Breaking news in, the jury was able to come up with a consensus on eight of the eighteen counts, the judge will accept eight and declare a mistrial on 10.

In answer to your question, because the guy is a liar, a bully, and a crook.
