Just emphasizing and re-emphasizing that Mr Manafort's initial sentence has, a) nothing, absolutely zero to do with Russian election collusion. The subject that the left was hysterically mouth foaming for 2 years and b) is pretty much in line with other crimes of this nature.

I suppose now the rabid left has now switched to sentencing disparity, which is true enough, but in this instance would be a very transparent distractive tactic.

You weren't even close in your retort, which in and of itself is an obvious attempt at distraction

With fines collected, the investigation is cash flow positive.

Bob Mueller is thoroughly pissed at Ellis right now. He is not going to take any chances that Manafort will ever be free again.

Bob Mueller is apparently n the verge of submitting his final report to Donald Trump's newly appointed Attorney General William Barr. Once that report is submitted, the Mueller investigation is over. So no, Mueller will not be hauling anyone anywhere once this report is submitted.

Submitting the report will not be the end of his duties. If there are indictments and criminals to be arrested as a result of it, he will be around until the job is done. His report is not like a term paper where you turn it in and hit the beach.

Mueller will no doubt continue to be available until the process crimes and whatnot that have been generated and charged during his investigation have been properly adjudicated. However, he will not be running back to file more indictments, which is what you incorrectly stated would be happening. Once the report goes in, there will be no more new indictments by Mueller or his crew.

I am a really old woman who is still waiting for the turds who caused the 2008 meltdown to be jailed. It does not matter who the AG is, the POTUS or their party. Or the crime. Betcha the guys who were fined millions for hiring illegals cozied up to all politicians.

Rich white guys created the USA.

Only property owning white guys could vote.

They let the minorities and women vote, but they fund the candidates. It's a rich man game.

Yes, a very disturbing turn of events and a shockingly light sentence for someone convicted on eight bank and tax fraud charges. The term is more than 15 years short of the minimum recommended by the special counsel. And still, no remorse from Manafort.

Fortunately, Manafort has another court date in front of another judge. Let's see what happens on the 13th.
