Judge Jackson on the concurrent part of Manafort's sentence:

[TwilightZone]

"First, Jackson said, the conspiracy count against Manafort in DC overlapped with conduct he’d already been sentenced for in Virginia. Because of that, she said, much of her new sentence for that count — 2 and a half years — had to be served concurrently with the existing Virginia sentence."

1. At least she can explain her sentencing w/in the guidelines

Would have liked to see more, but she shouldn't let an idiot compromise her integrity.

3. That's not entirely accurate.

It was a 60 month sentence, exactly half (30) to be served concurrently. However, there's a 17 month "interruption" of that sentence before the last 30 months are served concurrently. So I see it as 30 + 17 + 30 to kill that sentence. Then add the 13 months after for the second charge. Never seen a sentence bifurcated like that.
