But the hearing lasted more than 90 minutes. It took that long because Judge Amy Berman Jackson always comes prepared.On that day, Jackson spoke uninterrupted to the parties for almost an hour -- 43 typed pages in total of a transcript released later. She told Manafort and the special counsel's office that she decided he had intentionally lied during his cooperation interviews and grand jury testimony following a guilty plea.
Using bench as a pulpitIn her eight years as a judge, Jackson has several times used her pulpit as a way to send a message about ethics in politics.When another Mueller defendant, Alex Van Der Zwaan, came before Jackson at his sentencing for lying to investigators last year, she did not shy away from giving him prison time. His sentence, of 30 days, was harsher than the two weeks George Papadopoulos got from her colleague Judge Randy Moss for the same crime in Mueller's investigation.
Leftist judges are a blot on the American justice system.
Proud of her! Knew her from high school. Was always a gem.
It is amazing how the Democrats have been hell bent on proving foreign interference in the 2016 elections & claiming Trump is controlled by a foreign power, then turn around & vote overwhelmingly to allow foreigners who have infiltrated the US to be able to vote in US elections!
Apparently, as an Obama appointee, she likes Hillary, and dislikes Trump. So does that mean Manafort will get the Trump treatment rather than the Hillary treatment?
Let's hope she delivers a proper sentence, that Judges Ellis refused to deliver.
Manafort is being prosecuted by the Obama administration for working for Trump. This Obama judge should recuse herself.
Manafort earned time in the pen. I predict he will serve until he is at least 80.
Is Trump/GOP seeking to remove Dems in Birginia MORE to pardon Manafort than for ignorant acts?🤔🤔🤔

Judge sentences Trump ex-aide Manafort to nearly four years in prisonPresident Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort was sentenced to nearly four years in prison for financial crimes uncovered during Special Counsel Mueller’s Russia probe. Serious question to any moron who thinks this is a fair sentence: Would you or I have gotten the same sentence for the same crimes as Manafort? He’ll probably get a laptop, cellphone and NETFLIX in there.
