White Male Privilege Writ Large (Part 2)
Manafort got 47 months in prison for bank fraud, cheating on taxes, lying during his "cooperation".
The Trump admin muzzled & continues to muzzle whistleblower Reality Winner, who has been jailed and remains in jail for warning America(ns) that Russians were accessing our voter rolls.

.... Under her plea agreement, Winner will spend 5 years and three months in prison — until late 2022, if time served is included.
Winner's arrest and the aggressive prosecution of her under a federal law — the Espionage Act — intended for spies, not whistle-blowers, came just four months after President Trump and then-FBI director Jim Comey sat in the Oval Office and spoke about jailing journalists and the need to put a leaker's (in Comey's acknowledged words) "head on a pike." They both laughed about that.
