It’s gone past ridiculous.
Manafort goes to prison for the same exact things that the Podesta brothers had been doing for years. They were allowed to amend their taxes backdate paperwork and nothing.
Same judge, same result.
“Wow! How disappointing to Bannon.”
I disagree. It sounds to me that the judge is telling Bannon and his counsel that they need to do more to flesh out their positions.
The judge did not state that their claims have no merit. The judge states that their arguments are inadequate.
This is common in a great many legal cases where the judge tells a party that their argument is inadequate. Insufficient. Not that it is without merit.
In other words, go back and do your homework.
In the end, defendant offers little to demonstrate that the actual testimony be would elicit would have been material to the issues at trial.
You have no standing
Let me see where did I hear that before.
