For those in the know, is this fair? not the witch hunt of course, but did he do wrong and was this the correct punishment
There really isn’t any federal parole. There is some time off for good behavior.
Heck, Billy Carter lobbied for the Libyans.
Foreign lobbying , will they go after Kerry and the Clintons now ?
So what’s the name of your comedy act?
My local CBS news reported that it was due to his dealings with Russia. Wrong. Ukraine doesn’t fit the left’s and MSM’s narrative.
Paul Manafort Was an Agent of Ukraine, Not Russia

The good, the bad it shouldn’t matter.
You do the crime you do the time....
Some people out there are too dumb to know the difference.
Manafort did not collude with Russia. But he did collude with Trump. That’s why he’s being sentenced to prison—for the crime of trying to help Trump win the election.
“This means it is only an effective addition of 43 months to his sentence”
Only an extra 4 years?
We’re living in the soviet union, folks. With a KGB of our own (Felicity Huffman was arrested by 7 FBI agents with guns drawn)
You do the crime you do the time, UNLESS of course your HELLARY!!!
Pardon!
She should be thankful they did not shoot her dog.
“What about time served?”
The first judge took time served into account - and the 2nd judge said 30 years were concurrent so hopefully it will count for both.
The message is "Don't f*** with The Deep State".
30 months not years.
Was the media there to film the arrest?
All because he helped Trump for a few months.
They are teaching people not to go to work to help a political outsider overturn the secure political insider system run by the two parties. They will punish you severely for threatening their ruling control of the people of this country.
We are all serfs to political class. They’re reminding us of this.
The Gestapo lives here in this country. A Gestapo of Ruling Class lawyers.
They should, if there was justice in America, be hanging from lampposts in Washington D.C.
Not that I’ve seen. ;)
And gutless Republican leaders say nothing.
Exactly. So brazen they don’t care how it looks. It’s looking more and more like the people are going to have to fix this mess.
