Manafort: 47 months.

Holy crap. That is so insanely light for his crimes. This country is a joke.

So at the most he'll serve 14. That's still less that the guidelines for this VA case.

So 14 years is significant. But of course who can feel safe about the DC judge doling out 10 years ... after today's ruling I certainly do not.

Seriously disgusting....

I just am happy that another judge looking at his other crimes will throw the book at him....

But how long before Trump pardons him?
