Decision at link.

A federal court judge on Wednesday threw out Paul Manafort's plea agreement. According to the judge, when Manafort entered the agreement, he said he would "cooperate fully, truthfully, completely and forthrightly with the government," but he broke that agreement when he lied to special counselor Robert Mueller.

Judge Amy Berman Jackson said that Manafort "intentionally made multiple false statements to the FBI, the OSC [office of the special counsel] and the grand jury concerning matters that were material to the investigation."

Here's the full court decision:

I think they will be waiting until Trump leaves office - so a good few years yet.

But I will be pleasantly surprised if you are correct!

This is Obama’s legacy. Installing cancer throughout our institutions with safeguards and protections where they can never be removed. One of these massive concerns are The government employees The union is protecting all of his hires in all the agencies from being removed fired or layed off. They continue to do the rats bidding everyday

The intent is to endlessly torture any associates of Trump as a warning to anyone in the future not to cross the Deep State.

Meanwhile, we’ve learned the FBI was selling tampering with the Clinton investigation in exchange for cushy jobs for the FBI.

“Tragic because it means the difference of a sentence of 80 years vs 60 years in prison to a 70 year old man.”

I think giving out sentences well beyond a persons life expectancy is one of the reason running our prison systems is so costly. Just think, some convicts get 2 or more life sentences. To store their bodies at the prison has got to cost something, if nothing else additional building space and janitorial expense. /s/

Hillary’s transcript is replete with I don’t recall I don’t remember. Manafort says to the best of my recollection and he is found to be uncooperative and lying. He gets 90 years. She gets hot tea and a comfortable seat during questions.

That’s right. I pray to God that justice is served. This whole thing is a travesty of the highest order.
