Manafort Gets Less Then Four Years

Post by TC Shuts Up » Fri Mar 08, 2019 7:44 am

And that's way longer than most would have been sentenced, in a less politically charged atmosphere.

Even the Judge thought Mueller was acting like a hebephrenic, showing inappropriate levels of condemnation compared to the facts.

The leftist media headline said 47 months, trying to drown their disappointment in a large sounding number, and a big old bottle of whine.

Trump should pardon him, so he doesn't still get killed by left wing white collar inmate nuts who hate Trump.


Disagreeing with Communists is NOT an impeachable offense.

Those who refuse to drain the swamp are doomed to drown in it.

I have no problem with the sentence but I'd have a problem with a pardon.
As it stands I think federal prisons have a "time off for good behavior" system. So if he plays by the rules he can get a shorter sentence I assume.


I no longer directly engage trolls

To me the most upsetting thing about this sentence is what it says to the poor and non-white and women - when they are sentenced for non-violent crimes that happen in the streets or houses or factories instead of an office, board room or foreign bank.

Injustice makes people red hot angry.

The US justice system is the best in the world - but it’s in urgent need of reform to make it fair. Right now lady justice has a peep hole in her iconic blindfold.

Manafort is a life long criminal (despite Judge Cranky’s colonic nozzle spew). And Manafort’s crimes involve millions of dollars, bold incessant lies, and borderline treasonous financial and other skulduggery.
A lot of unnoteworthy men and women who commit far less - receive far more years behind bars - than the high-life, greedy, pitiful Trump Campaign Manager Paul Manafort.

And if he gets bumped off in prison you can bet there’s a sordid foreign connection.

Boys,you know perfectly well that money (to say nothing of white male privilege) talks ,SCREAMS,actually and B.S. walks. Had I committed half of Manafort's crimes,I'd be locked away permanently .(See: Mass incarceration of African Americans .) Besides,the judge was likely a Reagan,Bush 41 or 43 appointee who wanted to slap the wrist of a fellow rich white dude without making too apparent that he was giving him a sentencing break .

Why didn’t they impeach the socialist Obama?

Most of which was done because of policy enacted by "the first black president" Bill Clinton.


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.
