Their only interest could be Trump-hatred.

Funny, Eric Schniderman apparently beat, choked & raped multiple women & the state of NY didn't even investigate. It's almost like they're corrupt.

Or is your argument that since he is involved in politics we should ignore his criminal activity? Please. And he stole MILLIONS in evaded taxes alone. But sure, a stolen car is SOOOOO much more important.
Given that he's locked up, his threat to public safety is nil. I don't think we should be squandering taxpayer's money on vendettas.

How much money do you think we're talking about? This is open and shut for the state, the feds did all the hard work. State will spend less then 50K prosecuting. And I believe Manafort still has a few million left rattling around.


And is your argument that we should ONLY charge public safety crimes? What nonsense.

Manafort can do 7 years...with good behavior, he will get out earlier.
It is so nice to learn owing to Manafort that good behavior provides a credit of 53 days per year served.

I never would have known this finer detail. A detail that matters so much to criminals.

I don't think it's in Trumps mind to pardon. Fantasy thinking on your part?

He's been in solitary confinement for many months; he can no longer stand.
They broke him, now they'll kill him.
Crying for a criminal? The guy deserves more time than that.

Looks like the state of NY thought his newest sentence was too light, and that he might be pardoned.

More importantly.....if you are going to do time the Federal jails are MUCH nicer. You do not want to be in a state prison. And this should be a wakeup call for those thinking Trump will just pardon them.
GREAT! Go after all the lying, cheating SOB's!!! I don't care!!!

Why would Trump want to pardon him?
