.
Judge Amy Berman Jackson before seeing a single piece of evidence or testimony told the Court that Paul Manafort could spend the rest of his life in Prison.

She did similar things with Roger Stone.

Don’t you wonder how it takes 7 yrs to investigate a Democrat but the motions and rulings fly when they’re after a Conservative.

Still waiting for Eric Holder’s trial. Holder was also held in contempt by Congress - a far larger bi-partidsan majority.

Since Ray Epps helped orchestrate the entire thing and those commies on the committee approve of it..they already gave hi big pats on the back, high fives and promise never to prosecute him

I'm good with God rebooting the planet, because we sure as heck as *never* going backwards without a full-scale destructive civil war. The leftists and the Deep State aren't giving up any ground.

I've made my peace. Reboot the planet.

So the judge explained to Bannon how to get off the hook for criminal charges. This isn’t exactly a bad ruling for him.

These lawfare political witch hunts are going to have to be dealt with.

All reversible error by the judge, but then it really isn’t about a conviction, but about punishing Bannon by bankrupting him over ongoing legal fees.

As someone much wiser than me (that doesn’t narrow the field much, does it?) said: “The process IS the punishment.”

So much for the theory that “the courts do not involve themselves in the affairs of the legislative branch.”

“It seems clear that Mr. Bannon’s trying to turn this into some kind of political circus that cannot be allowed,” Letter said.

Yet another example of the left accusing others of what they're guilty of.

Wasn’t Eric Holder held in contempt of Congress? How did that work out, other than Holder telling Congress to kiss his ass?

That is not justice for a judge to forbid certain arguments in your own defense. It’s pure judicial tyranny like Roland Friesler, or the Soviet system.
Unbelievable that we live in a country where a judge specifies what argument you can make to a jury. Our founders would be disgusted at that idea.

Nah. It will be replaced over time with a familiar stench of people working to gain advantage.

That’s exactly what they want to do. Create a diversion.
