legislating from the bench in manifort case

[Darth Omar]

well written Darth!
~~

I hope he gets a pardon, he's been abused so badly -like solitaire..
Mullet took the case off the shelf to see what he could turn up to squeeze Manafort to sing.

Mullet is a disgusting construct.
I hate the motherfuckers doing his witch hunt, and the bastards like Rosenweasel and Comey that set this Stalinesque crap up.

According to a Politico article I posted a few minutes ago the Ukrainians helped set Manafort up and they also helped with the Russian narrative.

If he were doing what you suppose he is doing to Hillary Clinton...

...you'd be licking his asshole!

Speaking of licking assholes, it seems you're still licking the black one of Obama. Pucker up. At your age, you don't have much longer to get your fill.

 

[PostmodernProphet]

this further collaborates that dump nor his family will serve any jail time

we've been telling you idiots that for two years now......

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Different judge, Amy Berman Jackson, and she won't be in the least bit lenient

so you're arguing that she is not prepared to serve justice, only your lust for revenge.......

 

[PostmodernProphet]

I have no idea what's going on but but all accounts this JUDGE was flat hostile to the MUELLER investigation and has made it known!

I think it has something to do with the fact he sat in the courtroom and WATCHED the trial........

You lefties have been trying to impugn and delegitimize a presidential election for three years.

Judge Ellis told Mullet’s team they didn’t care about Manafort. Thank you, Captain Obvious lol.

They only cared about Manafort to the extent he could be pressured into singing and/or composing on Trump. Were it not for that Manafort would be a free man today. That Mullet called for the book to be thrown at Manafort is an indication he had nothing of consequence to offer Mullet and his team of conflicted Inquisitors.

Newsflash Einstein - that's the way the system works. Happens every day in courtrooms all across the country. But for some reason, you feel that it should have been different in this case, just to take the heat off of Trump.

Big surprise there.

Like I said before, if Manafort knew he was a tax cheat and didn't want his past shenanigans examined, he should have never involved himself with Trump's or any other candidate's Presidential campaign to begin with.

In short, he brought it all on himself.

Ellis gets this. He plainly understands that Manafort is merely a pawn in this charade so he gave him a lighter sentence than what Mullet was asking for because Ellis isn’t Mullet’s pawn.

I see no problem with the sentence whatsoever. Manafort didn’t ‘help steal an election’ and he’s not a dangerous criminal—he’s a tax cheat.

Judge T.S.Ellis is the same judge who sentenced William J. Jefferson a black Democrat Congressman from Louisiana to 13 years in prison for bribery and corruption, the longest sentence ever handed down in such a case.

Jefferson took a little over $400K in bribes compared to the over $6 million Manafort IS KNOWN to have cheated the American taxpayers out of.

Ellis rationalized during the sentencing, that Manafort had otherwise lived a "blameless life".

I'm sure you see no irony or hypocrisy there.

Manafort should have went with Hillary lol?

Manafort should have went with Hillary lol?

No, he should have stayed away from Trump.

Why?

Because everyone Trump surrounds himself with are grifters and crooks and after one gets elected President, the spotlight shines bright and hot not only on the one who holds the office, but those he closely associates with as well.

Good rule of thumb for all friends and confidantes of future Presidential candidates: If you know you're a crook and that you have spent much of your life engaged in crooked, Illegal activity, DON'T GET INVOLVED IN POLITICS!!!

Manafort should have went with Hillary lol?

She didn't want him fool


but Bernie Took Maniforts minion Tad Devine into his circle

 

[floridafan]

so you're arguing that she is not prepared to serve justice, only your lust for revenge.......

I doubt if she will be as lenient and forgiving of Manafort's many sins.

so you're arguing that she is not prepared to serve justice, only your lust for revenge.......

but its fine with you this judge ignored what the guidelines were even though maniforts crimes were HUGE


If he was a bank employee and took that money illegally from a bank

would less than 4 years have been given
