Ok, maybe not for murder charges, etc. but for drugs, thefts, financial/white collar crimes and on and on.
Manafort got a no more than ten year deal. He’s gonna do time regardless.

Try again.

Good for the country is what YOU AND I should want, Not Manafort, genius.

You know you've lost when you resort to name calling. The best thing Manafort can do is minimize damage to himself, his family and to the country. That is the high road. Rotting in a jail cell for the rest of his life accomplishes nothing, especially when all will be revealed eventually anyway.

If a person was going to be a career criminal your only friends should be a cop a Lawyer and a judge. That's the only way you are going last 30 years in the street doing crime.

You’d tell on your cohorts the second you heard the handcuffs jingling. They’d have to shoot you with a tranquilizer dart to shut you up.

And you’d do it under the threat of a week in jail. LMAO!!


So you’d tell on others to save your own neck if you got caught? Even though you knew what you were doing when you did it and enjoyed the proceeds?







Well, the first one to sing usually gets the gravy deal!!!

The country? LMAO...you’re still making these fantasy posts where Manafort and Cohen are copping pleas in order to do what’s best for the country. That’s not what they’re doing. They’re simply trying to miliitate against facing the full consequences of their own actions.

The best thing any man can do is take responsibility for his own actions and not try to bury others in his own malaise. Where were their consciences when they made millions from their wrongdoings?

It would be "his own malaise" if he operated alone. Like Cohen, he didn't.

When you surround yourself with no one but rats, expect a rat to turn on you. That's what rats do.

Rats always squeal on other rats.

Lay down with rats. Wake up with rats.

Don't break the law and stay away from sleazebags, like Trump's cronies. And Trump.

This? This is the level of decorum we have reached in less than two years? Lowest point in our Country's history. Beyond a doubt.
