Manafort guilty.

[iceberg]

manafort was accused, had his day in court, and lost it would appear. thats how our system works.

now for the sentencing.

And the sentencing recommendations may well be based on how forthcoming he is in the Mueller investigation.

Plus, there is still another Trial.

Plus, he'll probably be retried for 10 counts.

im not sure the sentencing is connected to anything but the judge at this point.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Not a single count has anything to do with Trump.

 

[Dschrute3]

So much for a witch hunt

Oh it is a Democrat political Witch Hunt. He wouldn't have even been targeted if he was a Democrat.

You sound almost sad that this fraud and criminal got caught and didn’t get to keep cheating his way towards riches

He was targeted by Obama/Democrat cronies. He was only targeted because of his ties to Trump. It is a Witch Hunt.

 

[2aguy]

Five counts of tax fraud. More coming in.

WAHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I hope Trump is gagging on his diet Coke as we speak.

Eight counts out of eighteen. If it was a case involving a knife and a body, it would be simpler.
The Trump Goons were hoping the jury would be confused and/or bored with a lot of bank documents.

You do realize his guilt is on bank and tax fraud...right? Unless he was speaking Russian when he hid the money, there are no Russians involved in this, and nothing to do with Trump...right?

 

[ElmerMudd]

So much for a witch hunt

This has 0 to do with Russian collusion.

Keep sticking up for the criminal Trump but you are a fool.

 

[2aguy]

Two counts on the foreign bank accounts. One of the bank fraud counts. Mistrial on the rest of the counts. This is 8 more convictions produced by the Mueller investigation, on top of the already existing guilty pleas. But, you know, it's all a witch hunt.

You realize that this has nothing to do with the Russia probe....right? The only reason they went after him, since other prosecutors passed on this, is because he ran Trump's convention activity...right?

 

[JGalt]

Five counts of tax fraud. More coming in.

You forgot to mention not guilty on other counts. Biaically Mewler has spent all this tax payer money to stuff a dude in solitary for a tax fraud beef. Mewler has been embarrassed. He failed. How did he fail? Zero Russia, Zero anything having to do with Trump and for what? By the time Manifort go’s to his second trial, he will surely be convicted yet he will get no jail time. Yup, libtards shall gnash their teeth. So funny.

You have some serious reading comprehension issues..he was not found 'not guilty' on even 1 charge..it was a mistrial..and can be tried again.

Manafort found guilty of 8 counts; mistrial declared on 10 others

"Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort has been found guilty of eight financial crime charges in the first trial victory for special counsel Robert Mueller's team.
A judge declared a mistrial on 10 other counts after jurors failed to reach a unanimous verdict.
The jury deliberated for four days before announcing the verdict at the federal courthouse in Alexandria, Virginia.
Prosecutors spent more than two weeks presenting their case as they sought to prove Manafort concealed millions of dollars in offshore accounts from the IRS"

Maybe if you stopped drinking before noon and stoped listening to Larry Onyou would have a clue . You don’t. He will be sentenced (most likely) on 8 out of the 18. Of those 8 Paul Manifort has had every tool Mewler had at his disposal thrown at him and what did we find? We found that Manifort lies on tax returns and loan applications. He will ride it out surving little if any jail time. Mewler was not able to link Trump to Russia which is what you lemmings have been promising us Mewler would do. So what happens? Manifort go’s to trial again, gets found guilty, pays a fine, writes a book and makes even more money. Y’all are just to stupid.

Who's Larry Onyou??? Anyway....Manafort is facing 80 years...so if the judge goes light..maybe 10---15 years? This trial was NEVER about collusion or linking Trump to Russia--which, btw, any 10 year old could do with the available evidence..most of it statements by Trump and his staff. Perhaps he gets a pardon...which every law-abiding American should be sick about..a criminal walking away---but the hard-core Trumpkins will just shout "What about Hillary"..and move on.

There was a bit more going on than lying..if you even care about the facts of this case...bank fraud...the hiding of millions of assets garnered from the Ukraine and Russia.
I wonder..if you asked Manafort right now..in his cell..if he feels he won a victory here..what do you think his answer would be?

Well, what about Hillary?

 

[ElmerMudd]

You are fast.

She's easy as well. Look at all these imbeciles celebrating this as if they've won anything. Some guy they never heard of before has been convicted of tax evasion that was supposed to look into whether Russia messed with the 2016 election (still not even ONE person found who claims their vote was changed), still no proof that Russia really actually did it, still no evidence whether anyone in the Trump campaign was really collaborating in it in any illegal way, and certainly nothing on the man Trump himself.

So in other words:

ZERO.
ZERO, and
ZERO.

Trump is still president, Trump is going to STAY president, there is no evidence of foreign tampering much less Trump Campaign collaboration, not a single vote has ever been shown changed, Mueller's investigation a total fail on what it was set up to look into, and if there really was any election hanky-panky by a foreign power, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING accomplished that will fix anything to stop it from happening again this fall much less in 2020 and beyond.

And all the Leftards stand around circle-jerking themselves off telling themselves they scored big today.

I guess when your EVERY FORECAST for success and victory has gone face-down into the dirt since 2008, a petty crook getting his just rewards for petty personal crimes must really seem like you got something. Actually, they could HANG Manafort for tax crimes, it won't do JACK to put one Democrat into office.

Um.....Manafort has been in the news for *years*. Just because you've never heard his name before doesn't mean everyone else is similarly ignorant.

WHO CARES?

I think we should lock up all those who blindly continue to support Trump

 

[Dschrute3]

He'll be pardoned. The whole thing is an Obama/Democrat-initiated Witch Hunt. Most Americans know if he was a Democrat, no investigation would have ever taken place. He was targeted only because he had ties to Trump. So, Pardons all around. Time to turn the tables. Time to investigate Obama and Clinton.

Trump already admitted to it.

Was the Mueller probe empaneled to investigate Paul Manafort's taxes?
We had a special counsel for that?

Robert S. Mueller III is appointed to serve as Special Counsel for the United States Department of Justice.

(i) any links and/or coordination bet ween the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump; and
(ii) any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation; and
(iii) any other matters within the scope of 28 C.F.R. § 600.4(a).
If the Special Counsel believes it is necessary and appropriate, the Special Counsel is authorized to prosecute federal crimes arising from the investigation of these matters.​

Ok, I get all that, so this still has nothing to do with Trump.....

This thread has to do with Paul Manafort being convicted on 8 felony counts.

Yes, and the Meuller probe has to do with Russian collusion. Are you suddenly adverse to not staying on topic?

 

[ElmerMudd]

Not a single count has anything to do with Trump.

When Trump goes down, I feel his minion supporters should be rounded up like Nazi's after WWII

Manafort actually did the things he's being accused of. Just like Micheal Cohen did....with an 8 felony count guilty plea just minutes ago.

And your ilk are predictably insisting that pardons are coming. So much for 'law and order'. Along with 'free trade', 'family values', 'government transparency', 'fiscal responsibility'. Its all just right wing lip service for useful idiots

Unlikely. More likely, they will continue to weep and wail and gnash their teeth....and call for pardons.

Just like they are calling for pardons now for Manafort.

Laughing....notice you didn't actually disagree with me on any point. Which speaks volumes.

 

[Avatar4321]

What's the over/under on how many days he serves in the huscow?

I’m curious if that too. Because the judge seems aware of the political nature of the trial I am leaning toward the lower end of the sentencing guidelines.

Considering 8 counts that could still be a while. Not sure if the judge will run consecutive or concurrent sentences.

 

[Hiryuu]
