On Aug. 21, Manafort was found guilty on eight federal charges, while a judge declared a mistrial on 10 other criminal counts. The charges claims Manafort was guilty of conspiracy to defraud the United States, money laundering, failing to register as a foreign lobbyist, making false statements to investigators, and witness tampering, the Washington Post reported. He then pleaded guilty to two charges of conspiracy in another federal court. He will be sentenced for those crimes next week.
"Paul Manafort is one of the major links between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump."
Cohen has been sentenced to three years and two months for campaign finance violations, tax fraud, bank fraud, and lying to Congress. .
It's been over two years since Mueller opened his investigation into Collusion between Donald and Vlad and not one person has been charged for anything to do with it. Not one. Nada.
Let me see.
Paul Manafort got less than four years for a sprawling bouquet of crimes, and for lying while he was under a plea agreement. Meanwhile, the police who killed Stephon Clark for having a cellphone in his grandmother's backyard will face no charges at all.— Charles P. Pierce (@CharlesPPierce) March 8, 2019
Jeffrey Epstein was sentenced for 18 months for numerous counts of statutory rape, served 13 and got to leave prison every day to go to work.
Numerous people are serving years in prison for various crimes that many rich people are never charged for.
The banks crashed the global economy and got bailed out to a tune of over $16 Trillion.
This is what counts for justice in America.

Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.

@dance you monster she never rocked the
she never rocked the boat at TOS, never was attacked, never sided with Bernie, always investigated corruption of Republicans, not so critical of Obama. Always left v right, never about class warfare.
In hindsight she was part of the Korporate Kos Krew, just not the vicious wing.
In other words,
a major star of the veal pen. Partisan to the core, mired in their own ideology and self-interests, will do anything for money and political favor.

Americans are a powderkeg about to explode
I was in a store and someone mentioned this and a woman nearby said, "Someone's probably gonna kill that judge." To which several folks nodded and said it would be a good idea. "Send a message to other judges. We won't take this bullshit anymore."
Europe is the same way. Ready to explode /nt

It doesn't matter if he got 47 months
or 47,000 years, Trump is probably going to pardon him in 20 months or so, right after the election.
"Obama promised transparency, but Assange is the one who brought it."
Two names: Marc Rich (pardoned by WJC) and Seth Rich (dead)
Two illustrations of how justice works in America (even when Democrats are in charge).
I can see him getting paroled before the election
as noted, the 47 month sentence includes 9 months already served so it's 38 months now. He'll be a "model prisoner" and get out in half the time, 19 months, or October 2020. (well that's my guess)
