all right i'll stick my neck out and say 20+ years.

usually when i guess, i'm wrong and the result is lower than what i expected.

but in manafort's case, there seems to be such a contempt for the process and a complete lack of remorse, i have to think the judge will largely go with what the prosecutors are asking for....

My understanding is that today will not include his DC sentence, so I agree that between today's sentencing and next Wednesday's he will get 20

If so I'm going with 15 to 20. If not, then I'm going with 12.

stated chronological time in prison is what matters to me.

if someone is sentenced to serve two years in prison for twenty concurrent sentences of two years each, then that's a two-year sentence as far as i'm concerned.
