While Paul Manafort just received a less than 4 year prison sentence for massive financial fraud, I have a client serving 3 and a half to 7 years in prison for stealing laundry detergent from a drug store. pic.twitter.com/I38uq9WkXK

"Prosecutors never put all of their evidence into an indictment," said Joyce Vance, a former U.S. Attorney in Alabama. "Just because this indictment doesn't slap you in the face with a conspiracy doesn't mean Mueller doesn't have that evidence." https://t.co/j7Q63vtiRC

I don't actually have any investment in Paul Manafort spending more than 4 years in prison. He's 69 and that's going to be brutal.

In fact, downward sentencing departures THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM would be great!

I'm ok with Manafort's light sentencing only if he's then extradited to Ukraine to be prosecuted for his role in Yanukovych's murderous & corrupt regime. He served Putin's will there and in the US.

After the sentencing, Manafort’s lawyer said Manafort never colluded with any “Russian government official.“ Note the parsing. Per filings in the case, Manafort schemed with Konstantin Kilimnik, an alleged Russian intelligence associate, at the behest of a Putin-linked oligarch!

So Trump refuses to hand over Kushner security clearance docs?

New reporting claims in Oct, House Oversight Committee obtained leaked documents that detail the entire process.

Let's hope this is accurate & that Ivanka docs were included in leak. https://t.co/4aK67ezOSq
