Definitely, I am pretty informed on white collar crime, and interested, so I have learned a lot in the last 10 years. This Manafort sentencing isn't the atrocity people are making it out to be. This happens all the time, and I understand emotions are running high for some. For example,

Participants in $200 Million Workers’ Comp Scheme Sentenced to Prison and More Than $2 Million in Financial Penalties

200 million dollar fraud, and the lead defendant received 10 years.
The point is that it happens all the time and that's why it's an atrocity. You're normalizing it.

This is why we want Eric Holder's in the AG position, and not Bill Barr's or Jeff Sessions. Even then, the Obama admin was easy on white collar prosecutions. This kind of thing will take decades to change, in the legislative and executive branch.

I think at this stage brehs and brehettes just need some time to be outraged at this BS. When we start going :manny: then we have given up.

A lot of overreaction in here, people let their emotions carry them into this place, and it's dangerous, because to correct course, many, as stated in here, may turn apathetic, or unengaged. This isn't the disaster people are making it to be. A federal judge made a bad, and biased call. It happens. Manafort's crimes, in fact, weren't based in treason or anything else, strictly financial.


It's not an overreaction to be dejected at seeing the potential conclusion of the case of an international criminal on the scale of Paul Manafort, who played a large role in giving us Trump, may end up for all intents and purposes getting away with it.

I do not mean to dismiss the lives of hundreds of my slain brothers and sisters who are murdered by police in this country, but I got the same sinking feeling at reading "47 months" that I did seeing Zimmerman and Darren Wilson walk away unscathed.

It's not an overreaction to be pissed off or depressed knowing the power imbalance in this country will never be in your favor.

What we are witnessing is one of the greatest displays of white privilege in modern American history.
In reality, this is barely top 20.

Lets be SUPER real :francis:

I’ve been wondering this myself, if it’s just a means to keep the people from taking up arms.
Azbeauty has me on ignore because I pointed out that muller is a Republican that was a member of the president’s golf club, and the democrat from Baltimore was actially a Ken Starr gofer.

We have “black” members of this forum cheering for the FBI. That’s some weird stuff. Muller gave the Vandersloothousen guy a weekend in prison for lying to the vaunted FBI. We all know Papabesuckingdikk had a hell of a stint in jail too.

Gates isn’t going to jail. Manafort was only convicted of not paying his taxes. Where is the collusion? I have watched as the FBI entrap Somali kids and give them 20 year sentences for dumb stuff and to watch the accountant for the president’s business get a get out of jail free card. That shyt ain’t right.

The democrats better be careful: muller may pull a James Comey next October and say the president is innocent.

I believe Mueller will come out and say he doesn't have enough irrefutable evidence to convict the GOP and Trump of a RICO . If he was gonna do that, he should have done that a very long time ago. This is an open and shut case of RICO. If that was 50 Cent or Floyd or LeBron or Durant, they would have been RICO'd from the jump. Also, why is Don Jr still not even indicted for lying to Congress? The guy took a meeting with Russia stating this is help from Russia . Still no charges ? We have Jared who wanted sensitive info our nuclear program to take home with him and the Saudis have bragged Jared is their employee. Now, you got Trump basically helping them building a nuclear program similar to ours. Like where did the Saudis get all this Intel to wanna build nuclear weapons all of a sudden ?

The country is inherently racist. This is all it's about. If that was Obama having a black staff pulling that stunt, even CNN and MSNBC would have pressured Democrats into impeaching him. Then you'd have the local news wchoing why the country is not safe and Obama deserving to be jailed for treason.

This Manafort sentencing angers many people and rightfully so . Imagine getting entrapped with 1 oz of weed and doing 10 years and Manafort has been a criminal all his life, but he's getting 4 years like that was just a DUI for all types of frauds?

This needs an episode of American Greed: White Supremacy at work

We're so far in honestly surprised you guys still get disappointed no one has gotten football numbers. Manafort not out the woods, the system is rigged, and power ultimately rests with the people. Nothing new, just a reminder that we cannot be complacent with our crumbling society
If a foreign lawyer can’t get he book thrown at him for lying to the fbi, then Paulo Ostrich Coat wasn’t going to get the book thrown at him for tax evasion. Are they only going after him because Alan Thicke died?

I am afraid that the Republicans who are known to have foresight created a situation for Democrats to build up Muller only to have Muller destroy the Democratic Party in 2020.

There are far too many democrats who are terrible at politics.

I know you’re under audit, but what’s stopping you from letting us see your grades? Pick a subject on any 102 level and let him talk about it. There are far too many people who think the government should manage the economy as ma and pa dumbass manage their finances.

Yep. I've been saying for ages that all the dikkriding of Mueller is unwarranted.

I'll give Mueller his props when somebody in this administration gets some real time. Until then he's just another white Republican in my book. :yeshrug:
