Reagan appointee judge gives Manafort only 47 months

what difference does it make

Manafort will be going to Federal Country Club Prison anyways.

You were chasing collusion. Tax fraud etc.. the other charges dropped.

He is not before the court for anything having to do with colluding with the Russian government," the judge said.

Duh. He was not even charged with collusion in this case. The fact that it is even mentioned by the judge or anyone else is mind-boggling.

What’s the point there? His incredibly serious felonies are no biggie because this case was not about collusion?

Downright surreal.

This is GREAT news for the left!
Don’t you even see what happened?

Manafort gave such help to prosecutors spilling the beans on Trump. It’s the only reason for such lenience!

You should be very happy with such an outcome.

No?

What are you babbling about? The prosecutors asked for a sentence six times as long. The only “help” he gave prosecutors was lying to them and feeding intel to Trump.

A great day for wingers who enjoy such horrendous criminality and corruption.

On the bright side: he still faces further time for conspiracy next week.
So more years to come. Cheer up!

Yup, but that doesn’t excuse the absurdly low sentence given to Manafort today by the Reagan appointee judge for his extremely serious crimes and the overall contempt the swine has shown for our justice system. The swine didn’t even express regret.

And beyond his DC sentencing next week, Manafort could still be indicted for his obvious collusion with the Kremlin reps. Mueller is saving that stuff for last.

No, like I said many months ago, he was jammed up on the low-hanging fruit. Sure they are severe felonies, fact of the matter is that the sentencing was appropriate for the felony or felonies charged

How is it that you know what muller is or is not saving for last?

"He is not before the court for anything having to do with colluding with the Russian government," the judge said.

It’s actually WAY lower than the 19 to 25 years recommended in the sentencing guidelines. And his atrocious conduct after supposedly pleading guilty and pledging cooperation should have resulted in even more time than the guidelines.

But that was in the USA. This is Trumplandia.

I don’t “know” that obviously. It’s my prediction.

Prosecutors always save the kingpin for last. In this case, that’s collusion involving Trump and all others involved in it.

At which point Trump cultists will say “So what?”

The federal guidelines for the felonies he was convicted of range from 19 to 25 years.

So how do you figure the 47 month sentence was appropriate?

Shouldn't the judge have followed federal sentencing guidelines?

He offered more than 50 hours of willing testimony. Not getting what was wanted out of that testimony is not grounds for an exaggerated sentencing.

Below is a little snippet on tax law and penalties related to evasion..
Attempt to evade or defeat paying taxes: Upon conviction, the taxpayer is guilty of a felony and is subject to other penalties allowed by law, in addition to (1) imprisonment for no more than 5 years, (2) a fine of not more than $250,000 for individuals or $500,000 for corporations, or (3) both penalties, plus the cost ...
