This is done to keep the meme of Trump corruption and misdeed by association in the news for the next two years.
That’s it.
This guy Manafort may be scum, but what is happening here is wrong, wrong, wrong.
Every American should decry this process, because each and every one of us, I don’t care who you are, can have some charge of some kind brought against you for political reason as was done here.

The President saying he feels very badly for Manafort. (He is doing a news conference live right now).

Unless a democrat and/or a Clinton.

.... Well .... Manafort just got indicted by NY prosecutors for.... Mortgage fraud, conspiracy... Penalties that will be dished out by the state will not qualify for a Presidential Pardon because pardons issued by the president apply only to federal law, they do not apply to civil, state, or local offenses.
.... My guess is that the state will try to affect the maximum penalties for these offenses.

That is because liberals are safe, conservatives do not and will not pervert the law for political purposes. That is pretty much why we are defenseless here, what the left is doing is technically legal. They couldn't care less about the ethical implications of what they are doing. And the msm is certainly not going to hold them accountable.

Doesnt anyone have any dirt on this uber-Leftist judge, Amy Berman Jackson? She seems to often rule on ideology rather than law.

This is complete overkill.

Step 1 - Move all assets off-shore
Step 2 - get Trump pardon
Step 3 - Leave Federal prison
Step 4 - Leave Country
Step 5 - Give NY the single finger salute
Step 6 - Live rest of life sitting on beach sipping margaritas

Took since 2013 to indict Weinstein and only seconds to indict Manafort in NY.
Gee, no Lawfare going up there.

And because two judges felt that Manaford was a the victim of a witch hunt, they gave him light sentences. So the Deep State changed him in NY with mortgage fraud. The Deep State is going to prove to the world that anyone in Trump's inner circle will be punished for helping the President that they fear and hate. This is not justice, this is blood sports.

Tried twice for the exact same crimes?
To: Robert357
didn’t Cyrus Vance Jr. recently get in trouble for something? He must have weathered the storm - signing on to the “get Trump” team may have helped.

Armed robbery with bodily harm gets on average 5 years. Trump pardon this man.

First mistake was letting the Feds arrest him...should have slipped away to a country that doesn’t extradite. Considering he is 69 yrs old then his days are numbered anyway and I sure would not spend them in prison...If he could not run then he should have armed himself and when those agents showed up at the door and he opened it, the ones in front might not have made it.
To: commish
Yup exactly what I was thinking. And use some of the money to dig dirt on the NY DA. Revenge is a dish that is best served cold.
