Was he responsible enough to say in trouble for what?

Connecting this to Trump is asinine, but Manafort was guilty as frick.

People defending him here were ridiculous.

If you are familiar with Harwood, you know the answer. Harwood is everything wrong with journalism.

people have been giddy about Manafort getting off for weeks and you're going to now call out a few people who say I told you so?



Its hilarious to watch the carpet yanked from under their feet, again and again and again and again.

I don't care about Manafort, but if he gets more prison time than the smallest sentence ever handed down for a murder or rape of a minor or something like that, I'll call bullshite like I would regardless of the person.

I have yet to understand how these charges are within the scope of the special counsel, and how this is a "big victory" for Mueller, since it has nothing to do with election interference/ Russian hacking

Manafort was a crook. Should I be upset he was found guilty?

Facing 240 years in prison


I heard it was 80, assuming max sentence for each conviction served consecutively


80 years for the charges he was found guilty. The other 160 was the mistrial. He also still has a conspiracy trial, that supposedly has a shitload more evidence than this trial. That starts next month.

You premature gloating buffoons. He will plead guilty to virtually all of the others that were a mistrial too.
