I'm in a small shock here. I just heard the New York
CNN reporting another 3 1/2 years.
Be out November of 2024
Will, what's your take on Manafort's confinement. Lots of folks are saying he will get a plush cell, but it's still prison and regimen and loss of freedom. Do you think it will be a piece of cake for him or will he stop and wait at doors for the rest of his life no matter where he resides, in or out?
semi plush, at best.
Too high profile for less
Do you suppose this kind of sentencing is why the hue and cry for more 'conservative' judges? So white collar crime can continue to slap wrists, even after the recent spate of exposures? I suppose this type has always been hovering in the halls of pols, but this admin seems to have a significantly higher quota of white collars than its predecessors.
Bull, the man wasn't convicted of rape, murder, drug dealing, assault, etc.
White Collar crime, White Collar accomodations.
Right...no blue collar judgements for the rich guy!
Looks like Manafort just got an "Oh, Sh*t!" moment. I just heard the NY DA just dropped another 16 charges on him. Gossip has it the new charges are legit, if a tad snarky (Mortgage fraud?), but the purpose is to make him pardon-proof with a State conviction. Surely his lawyers will have a field day with the double jeopardy plea. Guess we'll need more popcorn. Although it seems kinda cruel to keep this guy dangling.
Mr. Manafort is facing a life term, his real crime was helping Mr. Trump run for President and actually win.
The charges he is being sentenced on were very excusable, until he committed that "crime".
So he's been imprisoned for life and is being tortured with solitary confinement.
The liberals, particularly in the State of New York, have really permanently poisoned the political waters in this country. I listened to the Democrat debates, they are all anxious to have the Trump Family destroyed, impoverished and imprisoned, if not executed, should any of them get in.
This is not a healthy political system at all.
Liberal Kingpin Andrew Johnson wasn't the ideal president. But after the War of Northern Aggression, he pardoned virtually all rebels. Ditto with leftist Jimmy Carter, who exonerated all Draft Dodgers after the Vietnam War. But now, what Trump did- which is just mock their foolishness, the Marxist cabal wants to establish gulags. Even denying conservatives like Sarah Sanders food, in effect trying to starve her to death.
