Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal blasted the sentence issued to Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump's former campaign manager, during an appearance on CNN Thursday, joining several others in condemning the 47-month prison sentence.
Defense attorneys initially recommended between 19 and 25 years for Manafort, who was convicted of tax and bank fraud, among other charges. However, Federal Judge T.S. Ellis said the recommendation was"excessive" as Manafort had"lived an otherwise blameless life." Rep. Adam Schiff , the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, introduced a bill into the House of Representatives that would alert Congress should Trump pardon anyone connected to ongoing investigations involving himself of members of his family.
In response to Downing's statement, Schiff tweeted:"The statement by Paul Manafort’s lawyer after an already lenient sentence — repeating the President’s mantra of no collusion — was no accident. It was a deliberate appeal for a pardon. One injustice must not follow another."

Paul Manafort is 1st-time offender, not 'irredeemable felon,' his lawyers say ahead of sentencing'The Special Counsel's attempt to vilify Mr. Manafort as a lifelong and irredeemable felon is beyond the pale and grossly overstates the facts,' a sentencing memo filed by Manafort's lawyers said, referring to Special Counsel Robert Mueller. 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? But, more importantly, where is Paul sleeping tonight? TheRickWilson Yes won’t someone think of the political operative who is at least indirectly responsible for suffering around the world?
