    Question

    What Manafort's light sentence says about criminal justice disparities

    PBS NewsHour

    "A federal judge in Virginia sentenced Paul Manafort to less than four years in prison for tax and bank fraud--far less than the roughly 20 years called for under federal guidelines. The sentence prompted outcry, with critics arguing Manafort’s punishment highlights disparities in our criminal justice system. Judy Woodruff talks to Kevin Sharp, a former federal judge, for an insider’s perspective."

    Ants are amazing. Leaf-cutters cultivate their own food by farming mold. And their nests are designed to take advantage of the slightest breeze to keep the air flow going thus avoiding CO2 asphyxiation.

    Nature is amazing.

    What Manafort's light sentence says about criminal justice disparities


    I was thinking 10 years...but, I have to admit that a 4 year sentence reflects 'white collar crime' not treason which was the general impression of many Trump supporters...BUT, as some have pointed out the charges were not remotely involved with 'collusion'. We shall see...

    Ants...spffft. I spit on their graves...ok, not really, but fire ants are mean and they won't go away...

    Mr NAP ...

    Please ...

    You do have a bad habit of repeat/commenting of incorrect information ...

    Manafort was charged and found guilty of tax fraud and tax evasion by the East Virginia federal court jury... And he next faces up to 10 years (next week with another federal judge in DC) with witness tampering. Note - it was Trump's unrelated distracting comments yesterday of "no collusion" that has nothing to do with Manafort's current verdicts.

    PS ~ but there is still the Mueller report that might implicate Manafort with further.
