Trump feels ‘very badly’ for Paul Manafort after sentencing
New York Post ^ | 03-08-19 | Yaron Steinbuch

President Trump on Friday morning said he felt “very badly” for Paul Manafort, but that he has not discussed a pardon for his former campaign manager, who was sentenced to 47 months in prison. “I feel very badly for Paul Manafort,” the president told reporters on the South Lawn of the White House before departing on a trip to survey the tornado damage in Alabama. He said this “is a very, very tough time” for Manafort, 69, who still faces sentencing in a separate case next week in DC, where a judge could impose as much as 10 more years for conspiracy to obstruct justice and defraud the government.

Folks,

Until some of you are caught in a web of lies through no fault of you own, keep your opinions to yourself, because you don’t have a clue.

In other words:

"Shut up," he explained.

He has to be sentenced first
And possibly exhaust the appeals process

“a judge”

Amy Berman Jackson is not a judge.

She’s a Stalinist enforcer cooperating with the political secret police state. There is no way that she ends up with all of the persecutions that Mueller and Weissmann have perpetrated on chance alone, and no paper work “criminals” like Manafort have ever been thrown in solitary confinement like Manafort. ALL of the things she has done have been in service of the Mueller thug state operation which has only one goal: remove Trump and his challenge to the usurped authority they seized.

There is coming a day when I won’t have to, you will experience it.

I am currently caught up in a web of lies with HUD and Civil Liberties. I knew nothing about it until I get a certified letter regarding and a settlement offer for $5,500. A roommate of one of my rental properties, not even on my rental agreement advertises, told a troller no pets, and I am served because I discriminated on service animals.

He is not my agent, I did not get a chance to represent my self and I do allow pets.

None of that mattered. I write a check directly to the trollers, this is a money maker project them. If I want to go to mediation to explain , I am threatened that if the investigation becomes official the fine goes up to $24,000.

So YES, I feel for Mannefort and Trump. I hope you all get to experience and understand it also.

The 4 women news readers and liberal activists on CBS “This Morning” were openly depressed and expressed shock and disappointment that Mannafort didn’t get 20 years. Their legal analyst was as shocked saying the sentencing was a departure and was outrageous.

Manafort would never have been charged, much less convicted if he had not been a one time associate of Trump.

Clearly this had nothing to do with collusion, but that was never the point of Herr Mueller’s witch hunt.

Find and punish those close to Trump. That was all that mattered.

“So YES, I feel for Mannefort and Trump. I hope you all get to experience and understand it also.”

I don’t know just exactly what Manafort did but my understanding is the “crimes” he was just sentenced for were scrutinized by DOJ years ago and dismissed as non-prosecutable. They were resurrected by Mueller who somehow got the statute of limitations waived. The rest of the BS he’s in trouble for are “process” issues conjured up by Mueller. All of this poor wretch’s problems are thanks to the hapless, feckless dickless Sessions. What really pisses me off it’s only republicans/Trump associates who are getting the shaft by this filthy, degenerate, horseshit “justice” system.
