Ari on Manafort sentencing: Justice system ‘doesn’t operate with equal force for everyone’

On Paul Manafort’s 47 month sentence, Ari Melber says that “"We all remember what we learn about our legal system in America.

It does not operate with equal force for everyone. And Paul Manafort got the special, clubby, Washington, elite, friendly treatment for an individual with stacks and stacks of crimes."

AriMelber Cer what's to me six sure come to me msaager sent me bold

AriMelber Then it's about time to change it.

AriMelber Tragic inequality.

AriMelber He got docked 25 million dollars. FWIW

AriMelber Does anyone remember who wrote 'the humblest is the peer of the most powerful.' Who wants to remind Judge Ellis of this?

AriMelber Is There no standard, judges should rule by?..Or do they have the privilege, to do as they please? It seems so wrong...

AriMelber Maybe they won't be so friendly in prison. Unless someone figures Manafort could be useful to them when & if he gets out.

AriMelber Then America needs honest judges, that do not lean left or right and do not consider rich or poor.

AriMelber you could not be fairer or more right!! debra y.

AriMelber I think if you have money and everything a person needs. If you are breaking the law. Your punishment should be worse.Than any poor person who does the same crime.What the hell is a rich guy doing, Breaking the law.The rich are not good just cause they have money.

AriMelber Yes, with the help of his 'Elderly and Infirmed' put-on. A wheelchair!?

AriMelber No fan of him but thats a long time in prison for a 1st offense non violent crime, man... he has to pay that all back and then some too. Plus, he has more coming...

AriMelber Give me a break. He committed tax fraud, not murder.

AriMelber As did Hillary , comey , head of Fbi administration. So be quiet

AriMelber So what did Eric Holder get Ari

AriMelber Oddball Judge.

AriMelber And the rest got screwed for what?

AriMelber Nonsense. Manafort was only prosecuted to make Trump administration look bad.

noybsk2017 AriMelber 400 years of injustice I can't see a Just… God keep letting this continue! Everything in the Universe is afforded some semblance of peace

AriMelber For one. No judge, lawyer , elected politician and law enforcement should own interest in both private and public prisons..

AriMelber Really? This was a case yrs ago that they didn’t touch. Didn’t want to prosecute. Then when he was associated with Trump they reopened it. If anything he got shafted by liberals out to destroy anything near to Trump. Why? Desperation and political hunger.

AriMelber Trump has exposed the deep defects of American Political System & has flabbergasted our friends & foes. GOP & Corpo-Centrists only want Oligarchy/Apartheid. Instead of Trumpian civil war, we can go into federalism & have the laws we want. Red&Blue divide is real. So let’s Bluexit

AriMelber Be patient. It's not over yet.

AriMelber Just hope when Manafort is sentenced in Washington DC the judge there will follow the sentencing guidelines and do what I what would be the right thing. If he doesn't, the people will lose faith in the judicial system and look at it as being crooked..

AriMelber Hum, much like the Rev. Al that owes over 4.5 million dollars to the IRS and never spent a day in jail for it?

AriMelber The guy is a traitor in my book. And was so decades before 2016. He used his position to profit off of adversarial regimes. He created “the swamp” that Trump vowed to drain. Now, with that in mind, the fact he ran Trump’s campaign is straight up Orwellian. ThisIsNotNormal

AriMelber Too bad it wasn't the judge's money. Oh wait, US Tax revenue lost from fraud. All the fine taxpayers of our nation understand how it goes.

AriMelber Then hillary must have got the platinum ultra lux royalty double diamond deluxe package.

AriMelber 4 years and more coming at next sentencing. He will very likely die in prison. fakenews

AriMelber Yea what happen to Hillary. Destroying evidence. Deleting emails. Paying Christopher Steele for bogus dossier to get a fisa warrant. To sell Russia uranium. Why would you do that?

AriMelber So did Tony Podesta

AriMelber & EdBuck

AriMelber ... Let's talk about real news... AOC ...RepAOC ... DarkMoney and CNN being sued for $250M... Now that's real news... Oh, Wait ... What's this...?... MarkDice

AriMelber These crimes had been previously reviewed & dismissed. They were only reopened in hopes of flipping Manafort. No collusion with Russia found

AriMelber Followed by rap lyrics for no reason

AriMelber Always remember. Never forget...

AriMelber No! His sentence is in accordance with other similarly charged individuals. Just because he is Trump’s guy doesn’t mean he should see a harsher sentence. Lucky this Jusge did the right thing and was not pressured into a tough sentence to avoid the negative publicity. Good for him

AriMelber He got the Kavanagh treatment. The biff bro plantation polish. The cigar bar speak easy ostrich jacket rooski roo Dubai kkk Trumpistan cult coupon justice.

AriMelber Judges showing favoritism shouldn’t be allowed

AriMelber The guilty gets 47 months out of 20 years and the innocent get murdered in their own backyard and the cops don't even get charged, is America great yet realDonaldTrump

AriMelber Can you not appeal the sentence with a different judge?

AriMelber And this can’t be called justice

AriMelber Wonder how that happened...? 🤔

AriMelber Our judicial system has become soely fixated on inflicting punishment. Prosecutors generally as a strategy seek as much as possible. This is antithetical to a 'genuine respect for people' (as 'justice' is defined). People are reduced to fodder. More inprisoned for what? Dystopia.

AriMelber And this can’t entitle justice!

AriMelber Pledge

AriMelber Hillary Clinton should be in jail but our legal system does not operate with equal force for everyone

AriMelber Like Clinton, Obama, Comey, Lynch, etc., etc., etc. Oh yeah...they got away with their crimes.

AriMelber If Manafort got the special “clubby” Washington treatment what would you call the treatment that HillaryClinton got for SmashiingPhones DeletingEmails

AriMelber Manafort was charged with income tax evasion. The Judge believed that Mueller went after Manafort to squeeze him. This was a case that should have been turned over to the IRS. $50 million to go after a tax evasion issue. Mueller has nothing.

AriMelber OK. Fixed it for you.

AriMelber Sadly true

AriMelber Take it up with the judge MSNBC

AriMelber Now do all the Democrats.

AriMelber Is this supposed to be 'Breaking News'? greenprivilege

AriMelber I bet Jussie Smollett will get the same treatment for his egregious crimes.

AriMelber His sentencing was a sham considering the enormity of his offence.

AriMelber The look on your panels faces was priceless!

AriMelber Kudos and thank-you’d for speaking up AriMelber

AriMelber 4 years is more than enough for any non-violent crime. Don’t let your hatred for PM distort reality.

AriMelber 'Ignorance is our strength' though

AriMelber And Hillary got the Comey 'Federal Bureau of Matters' treatment.

AriMelber The man was convicted of tax fraud as a first time offender. I do not think you understand what you are talking about.

Paul Manafort, former Trump campaign manager, faces likely prison term at sentencingPaul Manafort, who guided President Trump’s campaign through the tumultuous Republican National Convention in 2016, faces a potentially stiff prison sentence for a raft of financial crimes that were prosecuted by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III. Why wasn't Tony Podesta charged for doing the same things? Wow that’s misleading. I seriously that RobertMueller prosecuted ANY 'financial crimes' but simply persecuted the political opposition. Mueller has a lot to answer to to history. His show is coming to an end and the reviews begin.
