Paul Manafort sentencing: Will second judge be harsher?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

On Wednesday, Paul Manafort is up for sentencing round two.

Donald Trump's former campaign chairman received 47 months in prison for tax and financial fraud charges -- well below the 19 to 25 years recommended by federal guidelines -- from Judge T.S. Ellis in northern Virginia, a sentence liberals decried.

Judge Amy Berman Jackson can give Manafort a maximum of 10 years.

Wednesday's hearing is poised to rehash the long and difficult road Manafort has had in her Washington, DC, courtroom and with prosecutors from special counsel Robert Mueller's office.

Jackson already revoked Manafort's bail and had him incarcerated last summer.

1. She is known as a tough sentencer and was

reportedly tough when recommending sentences during her time as a prosecutor.

2. Ellis was a paid Rump stooge

If he can give well below the recommended sentence, then I think Jackson should be able to give well above the recommended sentence... just because.


Yes, I know that's not the way it works. I am wishing out loud.

3. It's Difficult to Imagine Judge Bergman Could be More Lenient than Judge Ellis

4. I believe there will be a sting in Judge Jackson's sentence when Monafort hears the 'C' word

Consecutive sentences, Baby!

5. Let's hope that whatever sentence Judge Jackson imposes

are not made concurrent with the 47 months.
