Had Manafort been given 19-20, trump would have already pardoned him saying the sentence was unfair

Now he's put in another spot. Four years will be tough on the old fart Manafort. He's in miserable health and looks like shit, but four years isn't worthy of a pardon and the piles of shit that would come down from Congress and the 60% who disapprove of trump.

Manafort will also be sentenced in another federal court and I read today that New York will prosecute. He didn't get off easy, he got off manageable for trump and Putin.

I'm ok with this outcome, all things considered. He's paying a price and trump is left squirming.

With a payoff from someone to give it. Just like Epstein would be getting one if he was put behind bars for life, he probably would have paid trump and others off to get it. They are that corrupt I think. trump will continue dangling pardons , and will use threats again towards others not willing to accept corruption for him to get his people off scott free or with little punishments. We're seeing signs of our justice system being corrupted like putin has done in russia.
