Davis promised Cohen that with his co-operation, Trump will be impeached, and Hillary will assume her rightful place as Queen of the US. She will then, out of the kindness of her heart, grant such pardon upon Cohen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will need at least 3 Congressional committees and an independent special counsel to find out. It will only take 3 years and a total budget of $450,000,000 to get to the bottom of this dastardly conspiracy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

section122 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I don't understand this thread but I'm always willing to learn... 2 guys very close to Trump and part of his election team are going to prison. So these guys were acting on their own? That's hard to buy. Seems like a lot of celebrating for Manafort "only getting 47 months." How is this not bad for Trump?

First, it's no shame to say you don't understand this thread. For one thing, it's massive and meandering. A lot of baseline information is buried 200+ pages back. Second, Manafort was in all likelihood a plant and not working on his own (but also not for Trump). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with others here that there is no evidence of Trump collusion with Russia. But i also see that he surrounds himself with dirtbags and has a long history of shady affairs. He’s a bad dude and it’s a continuing shame that we don’t demand more from him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of his personal traits were on full display and acknowledged as a risk leading up to the election. Since then, he's defied every reasonable doubter by being a pretty darned good POTUS. The only criticism now left is from Sally Fields of the world who cannot imagine that others won't like them because the President acts out a boorish persona. The people for whom results matter more than style, don't give a damn. The ironic part is that people who know and interact with Trump the person, as opposed to Trump the public persona, almost always refer to him as a nice guy. Funny, how that is, right? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Manafort was rich and well connected--on both sides of the Atlantic!--so he gets a light sentence. Shocking display of how the wealthy get treated in the criminal justice system. Quote Scott Hechinger, a senior staff attorney at Brooklyn Defender Services, an organization that provides legal representation to defendants who cannot afford it, used one of his recent clients, who was just offered a 36-to-72-month sentence, as an example. The crime? Stealing $100-worth of quarters from a residential laundry room. Hechinger’s client may wind up doing more time than Manafort, a man who defrauded the Internal Revenue Service out of $6 million. https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2019/03/08/legal-community-lashes-out-inequity-manaforts-mind-boggling-month-sentence/?utm_term=.50129666bb4c GG=Total f'n idiot!

Koko78 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) Interesting that they don't tell you that the only way a 3 to 6 year indeterminate sentence is legal in NY is that the client is a second felony offender, and that prison is mandatory. Being a "residential laundry room", he is likely charged with Burglary 2nd, a class C violent felony with a maximum sentence of 15 years (plus a period of post-release parole supervision.) Pleading it down to Burglary 3rd (a non-violent felony) with that sentence isn't necessarily the worst deal in the world, especially if the guy has previous violent felony convictions on his record.
