Paul Manafort, President Trump's former campaign chairman, leaves the federal courthouse in Washington in 2017. By Nancy Gertner March 9 at 12:55 PM Nancy Gertner, a retired U.S. District Court judge in Massachusetts, is a lecturer at Harvard Law School.
That Ellis would go lower than the guideline range was clear; the question was how much. Manafort’s age mattered. The same amount of time has a different resonance for 69-year-old than for a younger man. In fact, special counsel Robert S. Mueller III did not suggest a specific sentence. He did only what was required — compute the guideline score, based on the offenses — and left the ultimate decision up to the judge.
To the extent that the Manafort case was different from run-of-the-mill white-collar cases, those differences were not mitigating. This was not a crime of necessity, to save a dying business, or of hardship, to deal with an ill relative or some other emergency. This was about greed. It was not a momentary lapse of judgment; it took place over an extended period.
That judge must be investigated , something smells fishy
Everybody should have expected that,the way the Judge lambasted the prosecution and the comments he made suggests that he was influenced?
No.. not at all...he is white, rich and with connections... nothing strange in his sentence...Just normal USA justice!
No priors ...whistle clean..DEMS complaining ..yet ignoring the crimes Hillary was involved in ...with NO court case at all..ProsecuteHillary
He got a lot longer than Al Sharpton, and he did the same thing, right?
He actually received a year longer than the average sentence handed down in 2018 for similar crimes.
Insert Left Wing Mental Patient Legal Hot Takes
The left is really hung up on this. We know they don't give a rat's about this on its merits. This is about President Trump. And their unbridled bias in 'reporting' over the past two years.
He has another sentencing comingthus week. He needs some state charges.
He should never been charged in the first place What the hell does this have to do with collusion which was the original goal? With all the corruption in the socialist dumicrsts party and mueller has done nothing about that? ? BS on muellers integrety
Not strange at all, someone or group got with the Judge for a lighter sentence and whatever the conversation it worked that is the American Justice System.
Lol
It shouldn't surprise anyone. That's life. The higher you are in society the less you are slapped on the wrist for being naughty. It beats me when I watch the news and casters fuming with questions and pondering why... It never will change. The world needs light hearted news.
White collar crime sentencing far less than taking a life
Definitely a judge's hatred for prosecutors in play
So we should give Democrats more time for there crimes right?🤔
You’re correct, he shouldn’t have received any jail time.
White rich privilege.
MalcolmNance Makes ya wanna check the judges financials.
MalcolmNance The judge is a strange one.
Gang bangers get less
MalcolmNance Just wait till next week
MalcolmNance It is obscene!
Lmmfao and rotmff WP you think. And since you're being some what honest,dnt fk it up with the double talk b.s what's exactly so strange about a white male getting the usual slap on the wrist.While the book gets unapologetically thrown at other's.And with malice blatant hypocrisy
ااا
Payoff
He swindled people out of millions and squirreled it away in secret accounts...but only gets 47 months. Meanwhile if the average citizen robs the local corner store of $300 they'll be locked up for 20 years. Must be nice to be wealthy and privileged.
the justice system reserves its wrath for the truly dangerous criminals among us- like terminally ill cancer patients suspected of smoking weed
What’s about ChelseaManning ? Jeff Bazos’ rag?
Chelsea Manning is a back in jail and you want to talk about this slob? The grandjury process is an American nightmare. We don’t have democracy. Or freedom. We stole this land from indigenous people. Now we rape the world of what’s decent. We reap what we sow.
The media really wanted him gone too bad they lose again
Meanwhile a tax evader is on msnbc every weekend with his own show and still hasn’t paid his millions he owes
True. Where the hell is Comrade Hillary’s sentence. NeverForget
Noooooo! I was promised collusion. He was supposed to be impeached by now. 😰😂
'Equal Justice under Law'... Not yet.
