This is a slap on the wrist. It's ridiculous.

It seems like both judges slap Mueller harder than Manafort... 1/3 to 1/4 the amount of time prosecutors asked for... Ouch...a year for time serve and he will be out in four years... 55 million should of been a life sentence... How do you like a two tier justice system now?

For those he wasn't caught at - or are legal - we'll just say that the Fires of Hades may take care of them.

I'd rather do 7.5 in Club Fed than 3 in State!

So you think he should go to hell? Really?

Ok, this from WaPo

Quote:

She said that 30 months of her sentence must run concurrently to his Virginia term because the underlying conduct is the same.

So, if I'm doing the math correctly:

47 months - Ellis
43 months - Berman
90 months total
30 months concurrent
60 months net

So that means FIVE YEARS - not 7.5 years. Essentially she tacked on ONE ADDITIONAL YEAR.

WTH?? Some kid steals $100 from a laundromat gets six years and a guy that hides $55 million, lies to get loans, witness tampers and sells info to the Russians gets five years?!!!

Geezus... only in America

Ha! Manaforts lawyer just got his comeuppance from the crowd outside the court.

You must not be familiar with Manafort, and what even his own daughters have to say about him.

looks like today's sentencing hearing was not remotely the end of the story.

Indictments unsealed in Manhattan for fraud charges under state law - so even if Trump pardons him on both of the federal sentences, he's still facing trial and jail in New York, which is beyond the scope of a presidential pardon.

Excellent news. All these criminals need to be locked up.
