Twenty years in prison, at this point. Manafort is my age, so that gets him out of prison at the ripe young age of 92.
Oh, and of course, the prosecution gets to retry Manafort for the ten counts on which the jury was deadlocked, no doubt after the second Manafort trial in the District of Columbia, which begins in about a month.
That is unless Manafort runs squealing to Muller begging for mercy. With a proffer in hand.
The charges are not related to the Trump campaign my friend @SaremChuuk. They predate Manafort getting involved with Trump or his campaign. 2010-2014. You seem smart, so tell me why would he squeal when he is being tried for things he did years before coming in contact with the Trump campaign. Haha
Who cares about collusion dumb ass. Campaign fraud is a criminal act and you go to jail for it. Cohen swore under oath that it happened and Chump instructed him to. Screw Russian collusion who needs it? Campaign fraud and obstruction by firing comet and saying let it go. Truth is not truth. Hahahaha
This will not effect Trump or his presidency in any way. Just bad a few weeks of bad press but other than that it won't bring him down or make him resign. And he will use this free press to his advantage like he always does.
All the paper trails of allegations of campaign fraud leads to Cohen. Not Trump. All Cohen have are his words. Against his words are paper trails and payment and bank trails that lead back to Cohen himself. No paper trails lead back to Trump.
Truth is not Truth, remember this? And the big word to take away from this story is MIGHT HAVE BROKEN CAMPAIGN LAWS. Repeat MIGHT.
Unforgettable Tuesday!!! The worst day in President Trumps' history as president. Trump faces increasing political and legal danger as a result of the investigations swirling around him and key figures in his inner circle.
You know he's gonna go off script and start railing everyone to do with both, say Cohen is a liar who turned on him etc. Its gonna be hilarious.....
@errr, you just plagiarized Jordan Fabian of the hill paper. Beside stealing someones words and thoughts do you have any self thought and opinion other than stealing someones words from a column?
As a democrat i say this will go nowhere. Just white noise playing in the background. Like how the Manafort case did. Just for ratings. Not news worthy.
Everyone Charged in the Russia Investigation So Far By THE NEW YORK TIMES AUG. 21, 2018
Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel investigating possible links between the Trump campaign and Russian officials, has issued more than 100 criminal counts against 32 people and three companies.
All the people Mueller charged with are for lying to a federal agent not collusion. Hahaha. Manaforts charges related to 2004-2014. Years before he worked for Trump.
In simple term for the simple minded people, majority of the people are in trouble for lying under oath to a federal agent and not for russian collusion itself. Manafort for money laundering and tax evasions 2004-2014.
IronYouth, Manafort was one of three individuals close to the president who participated in the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting with a Russian lawyer during the heat of the presidential campaign. Trump, who claims to have had no advance knowledge of the meeting, has admitted that its purpose was to get damaging information on then-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
IronYouth, Manafort’s conviction affirmed the credibility of an investigation that has endured near-daily attacks from President Trump, while Cohen’s guilty plea to campaign finance violations and other charges could present the special counsel with a key witness willing to cooperate.
IronYouth, Special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference has new momentum following the conviction of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and guilty plea of former Trump personal lawyer Michael Cohen.
Your orange monkey is as dumb as they come. Just admitted he knew he made payments to shut up the whores he was screwing. God bless Melania. But on Air Force one, He didn’t know. Take a bow trump turd nation. You worship a liar in chief. Explain to your kids that if the president does it it’s ok, but you should never lie because it’s not good character building. Space Force. Hahahaha
Wonder what Jesus jr. (Mr pence) thinks of his boss now. Good lord, this VP must have a limit on what he can honestly take and still consider himself a godly person. I’m praying for this VP. A good man who’s become a liar defender for Trump.
Alan Dershowitz(Professon of Law at Harvard Law School): A few things are clear. A candidate is free to contribute to his or her own campaign. It also is not criminal for a candidate to pay hush money to women whose disclosures might endanger his campaign. So if candidate Trump paid hush money to his two accusers, there would be no violation of any campaign or other laws. To be sure, if he did so for the purpose of helping his campaign - as distinguished from helping his marriage - his campaign would have to disclose any such contribution, and failure to do so might be a violation of a campaign law, but the payments themselves would be entirely lawful.

Fuck Yeah!!! Its Mueller Time!!
CNBC CORRECTION: This story was revised to correct that Manafort's conviction was for charges unrelated to the 2016 Trump campaign.
