So it sounds like Manafort is facing 7-9 years, according to CSPAN.

Since the corruption keeps happening both at the POTUS and lower levels of government on both sides I would blame both parties and the 2 party system.

It's 2 heads of the same snake, but I'd be willing to wager, even if there were 8 heads, there'd still be corruption. It's what money and power do best, especially to those who idolize either.

Libertarian who loathes both parties. Trumsters annoy me just as much as democrats do.



Just need to remind Democrats who are gloating over corruption and convictions surrounding the POTUS is in their history also.

You may be right. I would at least like to find out.

And another trial and a possible retrial on the 10 counts that hung. It is probably best for him to make a deal to hand over the big criminal - Trump. If Cohen beats him to it, the opportunity will be lost.

That's what I am thinking as well... 4-5 years with good behavior... I wouldn't exclude even less than that plus home detention..
