A reprieve can be temporary, in my way of thinking, so it just provides some relief, and that relief can be carefully defined.
Reprieve for an offense sounds different that reprieve from a sentence. You can have offended but still not been sentenced.
Damn, is our country really this fd up?
I agree. That would be easy to use as a justification.
And then it is only people convicted of Federal crimes.
You are correct about FEDERAL CRIMES but wrong about conviction
Ford pardon Nixon and Nixon had not been charged or convicted
CAN"T SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING to get him some HUMANE TREATMENT?? Do we have NO ONE to stand up to such a hideous thing??
They’re trying to break him mentally so that he’ll conjure up some falsehoods re: Trump.
The wicked ungodly leftists have an unpleasant eternal confinement awaiting them unless they repent.
A threat to other inmates no doubt knowing his violent past.
Mueller is thinks he will lose his Manafort case in court or Trump will pardon him so Mueller feels he must punish him ahead. Manafort is being punished for his association with the evil Trump who stole the nation from its rightful owner, Mrs Bill.
I have enough hate to go around to EVERY DEMOCRAT involved!
Trump fired Manafort and I don't think he cares for the man. He's kind of shady and wasn't forthcoming with Trump about ongoing legal issues, albeit issues that were probably made worse by deep state operatives turning up the heat so they could get headlines bad for Trump. Regardless, according to Cory Lewandowski Trump said in response to one such revelation in the press "I've got a crook running my campaign".
I suspect that if Trump is tempted at all to intervene, it's just because they are using Manafort to imply Trump is a Russian puppet, even though his case predates the campaign by years. And maybe because this whole imprisoned in solitary confinement without a trial is an injustice, plain and simple, which Trump seems to find offensive when he sees it. But that will be tempered by his apparant low opinion of Manafort as a person. I mean, an injustice is being done to Mike Flynn and Trump has no bad blood there yet he's not intervening. So in the aggregate, I would expect Manafort to look to his lawyers more than to a miracle from Trump.
Just remember this when Hillary and Hussien are put in jail /S.
Manafort’s treatment is supposed to be a warning to anyone who won’t read from the provided scripts.
Arkancide.
To which we can now add... Chicagocide...
President should stop it.
Why is he not? Trump is shrewd there must be a reason.
Will it pan out....I do not know much about PM but this is outrageous.
We had no power when obunghole was in office but now we voted.
TREASON!!
The Demonrats are already talking about increasing the number of Supreme Court Judges if they should obtain the three branches. That is what we are dealing with.
IIRC, the Manafort case was one that Mueller couldn’t put away when he was FBI director. That he opened it up again is evidence of an animus toward Manafort on his part.
My sense is that Mueller wants all of Trump’s business financial records and that all of this is his building a case to get there.
I never would think America would have political prisoners.
