Paul Manafort to be sentenced Thursday; faces 25 years in prison

The penalty may be steep enough to keep the longtime lobbyist and former Trump campaign chairman in prison for the rest of his life.Prosecutors say that Manafort, 69, deserves between 19 and 25 years in prison as well as millions of dollars in fines and restitution for the crimes, for which a jury convicted him after a three-week trial last summer. Manafort has shown little remorse, they say, and even lied under oath following a plea deal after the trial.

Manafort did not testify in his own defense at his trial, which revealed a life of excess, even among high-rolling Washington lobbyists. He had bought ostrich and python jackets and luxury cars, and had souped up his Hamptons mansion with elaborate flowerbeds, home renovations and karaoke sets because of his secret Ukrainian stream of cash, witnesses testified.At trial, accountants, a bookkeeper and Gates pointed to Manafort as the financial fraud mastermind.

Dump should be with him.

Law of karma, anyone who helps in fostering Donald Trump as President of US will face similar fate.

Lock who up?

... or almost 4 years... I know Tapz... I know. Shit is cray.

That's sad

COULD

Pardon

Armageddon!!!!!

47 months. I'll wait for the next sentencing that Manafort still has to face. Let's go for another 5 years on top of the 47 months.

This tweet didn’t age well !!!!!!

Is that really enough for the man who helped saddle us with trump?

Nice spin here. He was involved with the campaign for five months, not the entire campaign. CNN is one of the main reasons today people are so misinformed.

The have this man in solitary confinement no wonder he’s ill

Yep. That’s what happens when laws are broken

Seems like a fair trade.

And meanwhile Trump is out walking free.

One day soon the shoe will be on the other foot.

The first one of a long list of crooks who's gonna headed to jail including Trump himself and his crooked children.

Nothing to do with realDonaldTrump

Thoughts and prayers

Karma

Trump will pardon him.

“...And we still don’t know why Paul Manafort Gave Konstantin Kilimnik 75 Pages of Polling Data”. I don’t believe anyone could be that obtuse.

I’m thinking he will get less than 10 years.

The good ole days when you thought you could do whatever you wanted without consequences. There is only one person who should suffer, and he won’t.

katiecouric That's a small price to pay for the human pain and suffering he helped inflict.

Poor guy. Guess it's not a good idea to sell your country out for personal gain.

The' judge' made it 'clear' because we all know how the 'activist' networks will 'spin'! His convictions had nothing to do with 'Russia collusion'!!

Clinton felt privileged and above the law. The people was unaware because there was no one in such authority at the state department to oversee whether Clinton was complying with the law.

Wow

NONE of which had anything to do with President Trump

The act of wiping her server clean of all original documentary evidence sought by congressional committees meets the legal requirements of these crimes.

stetayen I have it on good authority that he was just some guy who brought coffee. Trump hardly knew him.

Free room and board, entertainment, medical care, etc. paid for you the taxpayer for life! What a deal!

We the people don't like Manafort but why he is been prosecuted and Hillary Clinton not! realDonaldTrump senatemajldr GOP GOPChairwoman Clinton Approve a Russian takeover of US uranium asset at the same time Russian company was given substantial sum of money to HRC FDN

Manafort wasn’t around long enough to get Trump elected. Besides, wasn’t it all those Facebook ads that got him elected? 😂

Good ! I don’t care !I feel like I’ve been in prison for two years here ! I have physically been sick since this man got into office.

God Bless Paul Manafort! Podesta and many others have done the same, Mueller used Manafort...NO EQUAL JUSTICE!

Who credits him with getting trump elected? He was campaign manager for like 2 months. Nice nuanced spin, Clown News Network.

Hey Jake, David Duke is back in the news. You should probably look into that instead of a giant “who cares” story that attempts to reflect poorly on Trump. It may get you enough ratings to pass the Hallmark channel.

Just want a good, honest, experienced President in office. Someone I can feel confident that will do what is best for all Americans. Trump does not fit My ideal.

Since none of his crimes have anything to do with Trump, why does the media keep mentioning Trump?

Well deserved

Its all apart of the plan. Mueller is sooooo afraid of being investigated himself. Didn’t mueller prove Manafort is at least a 7-8 year felon? I mean, facts are facts, no?
