    Manafort... less than 4 years. TS Ellis is an embarrassment. Hopefully DC apples a sentence that reflects the seriousness of Manafort's crimes.

    Hey kids. If you're going to do a crime, make sure it's white collar crime. Clearly worth the gamble for many.

    ... and yet, you gave him a sentence that was a fraction of what the sentencing recommendation.

    he "lived an otherwise blameless life," was a good friend and generous person to others. In other words, he was an old white republican, with a wink at trump...

    That's pretty f**king depressing. pl
    "Blameless life" is the biggest joke of all.

    Manefort is an amoral monster who made a living by representing monsters that nobody else would touch and is essentially responsible for the civil war in Ukraine. He also cheated on his wife multiple times and stole millions of dollars for decades.

    I have trouble thinking of anybody more slimey and worthy of blame for their rotten life than Manefort.

    And of course, ellis gave him credit for the 9 months already served, so manafort only gets three years from ellis...

    The DC judge has already shown she’s not a fan of Manaforts bullshit. Hopefully she gives him the max allowed.
