It's basically a 50/50 shot in every case going forward.
Well either get a corrupt Trumper or won't.

I could spend more time in jail for getting busted with 2oz of weed in Georgia...
He's got another sentencing with a far less sympathetic judge.

I am so sick of feeling so disappointed and disgusted with my country. This judge is just more evidence that tribalism is more to the core of our collective humanity than any of the noble (lies) virtues, like justice, to which we aspire will ever be. Vince McMahon is President and Elmer Gantry's clones pump poison into our nation's mass media. Stephon Clark is murdered in his grandma's backyard and the killers won't be charged. It never stops. Disappointment.
What a naked display of broken justice system. The weak truly are meat the strong do eat. His white collar crimes were not victimless and yet this cunt gets a sentence (with time served no less) that is absolutely laugh out loud worthy, courtesy of another unethical cunt.
This acts as a very strong indication of the type of punishment Trump and his family might face for all their transgressions.
Makes you wonder what those American soldiers and other agents putting their lives on line for when the people in positions of power to alter their fates are that brazenly corrupt secure in the knowledge that they will never face consequences commensurate with their crimes.
Yep, it has entered Inhuman territory.

Thomas Selby Ellis was appointed by Regan. Regan is still the gift that keeps on giving that man and his legacy continue to be a blight. If you thought the justice system was bad now imagine it with trump appointed judges and his supreme court judges.
JFC. Being a goddamned agent of another government destroying the legitimacy of an election should land you a worse sentence than fucking shoplifting
Life in Prison for Selling $20 of Weed
Homeless and hungry, Fate Vincent Winslow wanted something to eat, so he agreed to sell pot to a stranger—an undercover cop.

Just, seriously though.... "Aside from all those times he committed crimes, he committed no crime." What kind of logic is that? Absolute nonsense.
Judge is compromised. Should be relieved of his duties immediately.
Could he be under investigation after this?

Worse thing is he had been a criminal his whole life. This is so fucked and everything wrong with modern society justice.

Manafort will be serving multiple sentences. He will also be called/subpoenaed before multiple congressional committees for many hours of testimony, or he will have sentences added on. There are charges that could be retried, or even new charges we don't yet know about. Which makes the "otherwise blameless" comment seem practically clueless.
Is it not time to call out the judge? Can he not be barred from being a judge over this case since he's obviously corrupt ? Why is this judge untouchable. He's betraying this Democracy in broad daylight in front of everyone.
America really, really needs some billionaire to dress up like a bat and start beating some justice back into the system.
I think it's more of a sign that I should get that Guillotine / Pike / Pitchfork / Torch supply business up and running sooner than anticipated.
Nothing will happen to trump, and even if something did, the very worst that would happen is he'd be put up in a rich people prison that's 100x's nicer than the average era posters home.
God, all I'm thinking about right now is incidents like Philando Castile was shot dead for having a legal gun. And more than that even, Eric Garner being killed by police in an incident that started with them accusing him of improperly selling cigarettes (and how in top of that those responsible for those deaths escaping justice). What those men did, based on the cops escaping justice, apparently deserved death, but Manafort's crimes deserved just a few years? God, this country is app kinds of messed up. Like, all I'm thinkin' about right now is if Manafort was black, he quite easily could have shared the fate of men like Garner, but he's not, and so he's so privileged as to get a slap on the wrist instead. The discrepancies in the US justice system couldn't be more clear, and it infuriates me.
Lol, damn. Couldn't help but think of The Onion with that tweet. If only what happened in that story could happen here...
You goddamn right it does.
Any bankers go to jail after the market collapse last decade? Any prosecutions whatsoever? Oh really?
Never has been, never will be.
And it's starts with the judges given a deity status as if their decisions are end all be all. And these judges serve for a lifetime.
NOBODY COMMITTED THE LITERAL CRIME OF TREASON. Like, use it colloquially or w/e, I don't care, but don't throw around treason colloquially and then complain he wasn't sentenced commensurate with the actual statutory crime of treason which was never in a million years on the table for anyone. Isn't it good enough to say he got off lightly for his actual convicted crimes of tax and bank fraud?

Sure there wasn't enough evidence, but everyone knows treason is what happened.
He got off really lightly for what he was charged with, and he will never have to pay for his more serious crimes.
It's sad that this is accurate even though he did the right thing.
Treason, as defined in the constitution (the only crime that is!), was not committed by anyone under investigation by the special counsel. Legally the elements required can't be met.
As far as his other crimes, he is being sentenced for some of them next week by a different judge and reports are that the state of NY is also preparing to file their own charges.
That would be interesting to know. It's my impression that in civil law systems (mainland Europe) the prosecution can typically appeal sentencing, but I gather common law (US) is much more restrictive in the prosecution's ability to appeal.
Can Mueller appeal? It looks like the stupid ass judge will throw a tantrum about it, no?
