Manafort Sentence is a joke




Jackie Speier‏Verified account @RepSpeier


Manafort’s sentencing is a gross injustice. Ignoring sentencing parameters and claiming Manafort “led a life otherwise blameless” suggests Judge Ellis is patently ignorant of the basic facts of the case. And angling for a presidential judicial appointment.

Calling Manafort’s life of criminal collaboration with murderous dictators and of stealing tens of millions of dollars from American taxpayers “otherwise blameless” is a sick joke. It’s as though Judge Ellis himself was angling for the pardon Trump dangled in front of Manafort.
