Looks like 43 additional months for Manafort, right?

[triron]

[NightWatcher]

1. Looks like a total of 7 years in prison.

[onenote]

2. I think so.

30 non-concurrent plus another 13.

[3_Limes]

3. Yup.

He gets off light again.

[BritVic]

4. One commentator said 2-5 years last week, so I'm happy with this

[Miles Archer]

5. Yeah, they're confirming it on MSNBC

He got off E-A-S-Y.

[dalton99a]

14. Fuck T. S. Ellis

[MineralMan]

6. Yes. She extended his sentence.

How much time he will actually serve remains to be seen. Few white collar felons serve their entire sentence, really.

And then there's the chance he might get a pardon from Donwald.

[bearsfootball516]

8. I forgot about your first point.

If he doesn't get a pardon, he'll probably get years shaved off for good behavior once he's actually in there.

[MineralMan]

13. Yes. Undoubtedly.

I'm guessing he'll actually serve about three years. He won't enjoy his time, though. I doubt he has the inner resources needed to make prison time pass productively. He already looks like it's taking a toll on him, physically and emotionally. I have little concern about that, though. He's a crook and probably a traitor to our country, really.

I have no good will to wish him.

[BritVic]

16. Just heard on MSNBC - max 47 days off the sentence per year for good behaviour

Still leaves him serving 6.5 years.

[MineralMan]

18. Other factors could come into play, though.

Trump could also commute his sentence to time served, assuming he doesn't just pardon him outright. What Trump decides to do may make all the difference, really.

I hope he has to serve his time. He has earned that with his criminal behavior. I'm just not confident that he will spend that much time in prison, really.

We'll see.

[gopiscrap]

17. on a 90 month overall sentence

he can only get 13.5 months off for good behaviour plus released 6 months early to a half way house he's done 9 months so plus the max off he could be out after another 72.5 months

[SidDithers]

7. Yes, that's the way I read it too...

Count 1 - 60 months, 30 concurrent with the 47 months he's already got.
Count 2 - 13 months consecutive to count 1.

So he got 73 months, 30 of which are concurrent to his 47 month sentence.

73-30 = 43 +47 = 90 months total.

Less 9 months for time served.

9. In 7 years or so he'll be out and enjoy his millions

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. He doesn't have millions any more. Part of his plea deal was giving up most of his assets.

[gopiscrap]

19. seven years in prison is a long time

prison ages you (even a soft prison) tremendously

[mucifer]

20. yes for mr ostrich suit it's gonna be ugly.

I can't imagine doing 7 years

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. Right down the middle of the sentencing guidelines.

No problem with that; he'll be nearly 77 when he gets out. He might also face prosecution by some state courts. A total of 7-1/2 years is a longer than normal sentence for white-collar crimes according to some of the TV talking heads. The judge wasn't allowed to correct for the unusually light sentence Ellis gave him.

[BritVic]

12. Prison ages you badly

It's going to be worse for Manafort given the life of luxury he has led.

[triron]

15. Yes 7 years is a long time for a 70 year old.
