President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort will be sentenced by a U.S. judge in Virginia on Thursday for bank and tax fraud. The fraud was uncovered during Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russia's role in the 2016 election. Manafort could face what effectively would be a life sentence in prison for the eight charges the veteran Republican political consultant was convicted of by a jury in Alexandria last August.

And people routinely kill human beings and do six years.
As much as I dispised Obama I would definitely have a problem with anyone dealt with in the manner Manafort was after the government had already made the decision the issue was not worth going after.
It was only worth while when it could be turned into a weapon, as for myself I have no respect for a government that turns itself into a weapon against it’s own citizens. How about you,are you good with the government turning itself into a political weapon against it’s own citizens?
I dont see it as a political weapon. It just happens to involve political people. What was done to Manafort was done under Trumps justice department. It was done to Clinton associates during Whitewater. And is often done in cases not as high profile.
They are simply establishing the fact that human governance is over. Humans cannot be trusted.
Paul Manafort gets less than 4 years for tax, bank fraud
So NOT a Life sentence.
Should have let him go for time served.
Thanks Monrose72.
