#3  It's my understanding that, in a previous administration, the feds looked at making the same charges but decided to pass.

#2  But this isn't a civil case, is it? So the case can be tried again, and again, until Trump and Mueller and Hillary (et al) are all in the grave?

#1  WIKI: A hung jury or deadlocked jury is a judicial jury that cannot agree upon a verdict after extended deliberation and is unable to reach the required unanimity or supermajority.

This situation can occur only in common law legal systems, because civil law systems either do not use juries at all or provide that the defendant is automatically acquitted if the majority or supermajority required for conviction is not reached during a single, solemn vote.
