I don't want to hear anyone talking about how rich, middle-aged, white guys are being persecuted, ever again. Because IMO, that is EXACTLY why Manafort got the light sentence he did.

If people don't get there are two systems of justice in this country, one for rich white people (Manafort, Epstein et al) and one for everyone else, they're seriously addled. Manafort is just the latest in a decades-old list of examples.

This judge was sympathetic towards Manafort and has made comments about disagreeing with this investigation in the past. Hopefully the other judge will throw the book at him. Yeah, this judge was ridiculous all the way through. He was making comments from last August about being surprised at all the press attending the hearings.

The sad thing is that those same “rich, middle aged, white, persecuted guys” STILL think Manafort’s sentence was too much and that he did nothing wrong.

And his lawyers making the one and only loud and clear statement to trump and the Russians—there was no collusion with and government officials.
(However I found it interesting that they specifically noted “government officials”.)
The judge was not correct in stating that Manafort led an “otherwise blameless life” he’s led a very blessed life in that his laundering was not caught years and years ago. He’s been working with foreign entities for decades.

PREDICTION:
When trump’s voted gone in 2020, the last day of his presidency he’s going to pardon Manafort (and any others that he had serving on his team) as his big FUCK YOU to America.

Manafort’s lawyers requested that the judge who gave him a huge break, actually ORDER that the next judge he faces the sentence to run concurrently with his 4 yr sentence. Unbelievable the audacity and privilege that Manafort oozes, not to mention not being apologetic for the crimes against the USA.

So even if this judge had ordered them concurrent, the other judge could order consecutive sentences.

And all the while, trump and the GOP keep nominating and confirming judges whom show this type of favor. Only if you are rich and white.
