FUUUUuuuuuuuCk! That's harsh. Here, people do less for murder , rape, and for molesting children. We have no death penalty, and no sentences without the possibility of parole. However, some especially heinous offenders are never released.
I'm basing my comments on what I' was told by a friend I had who had done 12 months for breaking (burglary) in our 165 year old State prison. I suspect Manafort would serve his time in a minimum security prison.(?)
Is there any possibility of a presidential pardon? I was thinking of just before Donald leaves office. I guess that might be a bit too humane for Donald.
I think that there may be an issue with the totality of offenses. The other thing that occurs to me that he may have been accused of treason, somewhere in there. I haven't been following his case at all, tbh, but if there was some treason conviction, I'd like that he rotted in a prison 'til death. And fuck the Donald. Fucking TV "personality" gets to be president of the US, that's a travesty, even if Hilary is a shit. The complete world order would be less chaotic with Hilary as president, even though I had to hold my nose when I voted for her.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
