The crimes are essentially the same as federal and will be run concurrently.... If they try to tack on more time, it will be appealed and reduced to essentially zero...

They are going after him hard out of pure vindictiveness. They can't get Trump so they think if they destroy Manafort as much as possible they can hurt Trump by proxy. Trump doesn't care though.

It reminds me of a guy who gets a chance to screw his greatest enemy's girlfriend so he bangs her as hard as he can hoping word will get back to his enemy and make him feel humiliated. But it turns out he doesn't care because she was just a side piece anyway.

Good. After only getting 7.5 years total for all the other crimes is beyond disgusting.

So Manafort's crimes don't count and should be ignored because you support Trump? Really?

Or it may go nowhere if Manafort’s lawyer can make a case for double jeopardy.

Are we surprised? Still, no Russia collusion. Use to be, before the tropes now deemed misogynistic, one could say, Hell hath no fury like a w-word scorned.

So, we'll just insert the word, Democrat in place and modify it somewhat to, Hell hath no fury like a Democrat who cannot prove their Russian collusion fable. So, we'll just destroy the man.

Still, more garden variety fiancial crimes. Do you want cucumber in your salad ma'am?

She was never INDICTED for anything. If the GOP had anything on her, she would have been in jail long ago. Give up the but, but but but but Hillary. She's not anyone's whipping post any longer.

Why would Trump care? These are all crimes he committed while working for Hillary. LMAO.
