Paul Manafort walks to his vehicle after a status conference at the U.S. Courthouse in Washington on Dec. 11, 2017.Get breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.Minutes after Judge Amy Berman Jackson of the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia imposed a 60 month sentence upon Donald Trump’s onetime campaign manager Paul Manafort on Wednesday, the Manhattan district attorney’s office added to Manafort’s woes by.
Manafort may be relying on the president to issue a pardon. If he is, he should refocus his energies, forget about Trump, and instead rely on his lawyers to challenge this new state indictment based on “double jeopardy” grounds. Unlike the federal pardon, the jeopardy challenge is one he at least has some control over.
The Double Jeopardy Clause of the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution states that, “nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb.” This
Give SDNY and Mueller more credit. Just because they have indicted amateurs , doesn't mean they themselves don't know what they are doing and are ten steps ahead of this bunch of criminals. Including that ridiculous lawyer looking for a job in the WH after Manafort goes to jail.
Even if the Manhattan DA gets the right to prosecute , he can’t catch a cold . He turns a blind eye towards white collar crime . He thinks he’s a celebrity
NY State Judge to Manafort: Yeah, double jeopardy, and now you're playing for a minimum of 15 years.. - Analysis: Paul Manafort may be relying on the president to issue a pardon. If he is, he should refocus his energies
Analysis = lies we made up
The DOJ in New York and some other states have become political tools. This presents a huge degradation of democracy.
He can try but I think others have figured that out.
If he's really sorry, he should reject a pardon.
He doesn't deserve more break then judge has granted him. We would see some justice. We know president is going to let go as he was his man. People not forget.
When I step up the pressure, my pardon will become a National Emergency. I know things.
While the case on the question of double jeopardy is an important one, there is no reason to worry that Gamble will jeopardize the Mueller probe.2/2
The upcoming Supreme Court case Gamble v. United States has fueled speculation that Republicans are pushing for a favorable outcome in order to free Trump to issue pardons of his associates without fear that they will face consequences from state prosecutors. 1/2
At time of desperation people believe what they want to believe.
He should have refocused his energies on telling the truth to Mueller.

Legal analysis: New Manafort indictment would be 'impervious to the president's pardon power'MSNBC legal analyst Tom Winter joins Ali Velshi and Stephanie Ruhle to discuss the potential legal repercussions of the new indictment filed against Paul Manafort by the Manhattan District Attorney's office. If Komrade Trump pardons Manafort in the federal charges, does that mean there is no longer the threat of 'double jeopardy' in the State charges?
