But something tells me he will be over-sentenced because, as I have stated, he is being used gangster style blackmail to get at a bigger fish.
What you're describing is what happens in RICO investigations...and this sure as shit seems like RICO to me.
Drumpfs silent message to both Manafort and the prosecution is that if you over sentence him, I will fix it. Sounds like justice to me.
It literally is obstruction of justice.
if you give him the standard sentence for a crime such as the one he is guilty of, then so be it.
This judge seems to indicate any sentences will be served consecutively. Manafort will likely spend the rest of his life in prison unless he rolls on Trump. Would you put faith in Manafort to have your back? I wouldn't.
