The levels of wealth are always staggering, I like clothes and shoes, I fantasize about dropping 25k on 5th Avenue, but that's so small compare to these men of privilege and power.....Pretty sickening to live in a world where people like Manafort buys hundreds of thousands worth of rugs and suits (I believe he did buy them) and yet people are starving and living below the poverty line, and yet people like Thomas Barrack, don't "like the direction the country is going in", when these men live as near royalty in the country they are claiming. I think that's how deep the racism and greed really goes.
Also, the severity and detail of Manafort's indictment, keep in mind, this same power is used to go after people who maybe made 50k, or 500k between 20 people in a drug trafficking conspiracy. Yet, who do you think will get more time, even in the mandatory minimum's are the same?
