Manafort: 47 months.

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

I'm losing faith in America ever recovering.

Seeing the enormous amount of defense of Trump all over social media and around the country. The fact that Trump has committed more crimes than anyone in history with no consequences. The entire Republican party is complicit. McConnell is putting so many far-right extremists on the federal courts, our rights are going to be eliminated.


I'm just having a hard time being positive about all this. If I had the means, I'd be leaving this country now.

Rachel tonight about Manafort

Apparently Mueller submitted some new evidence from Rick Gates that was somewhat exculpatory to Manafort. Judge Jackson said, thanks for the new info, but it doesn't change his sentence lol.

Ted Lieu Statement on Jared Kushner

https://lieu.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/rep-lieu-statement-nytimes-story-jared-kushners-security-clearance

Ted Lieu is actually telling US intel agencies to refuse giving Jared Kushner any intelligence information. That's crazy and obviously absolutely necessary.

Sigh. My health insurance is skyrocketing again.

Just got a letter from my insurance company. It's increasing another $70 a month, putting me up to over $400 a month!! I barely even use it and I'm only in my 30s. I was told by a health insurance expert that my plan is actually the cheapest for me.

That is absolutely insane.

So Cohen apparently wasn't in Prague?

Cohen said he hasn't been to Prague, but the Steele Dossier said he was or at least his phone was.

Ken Dilanian of course is spinning it that the Russia collusion narrative collapsed today. /eyeroll

Ari just had 4 defense attorneys representing Mueller witnesses.

All 4 of them said they don't believe Mueller will find collusion or obstruction.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. It's literally in plain sight.

Source: The Daily Beast

If this is backed by evidence, it's a clear case of conspiracy.

But why didn't Mueller charge Manafort with conspiracy for this?

Did Mueller submit the Manafort sentencing document?

I couldn't stay up last night. Everyone was waiting for Mueller's midnight deadline to submit the Manafort sentencing report, but nobody is talking about it today.
