Yes, next week, and with luck the signs are correct that the judge is handing down the full 10 year sentence and hopefully sentences it to run consecutively with the current sentence so he at least sees close to 15 years.

Note that is a lighter sentence than one asked for by Manafort's attorneys. The standard guidelines say the sentence should have been between 19-24 years.

Judge called the guidelines 'excessive' I think, and went for what other people got...

He's 69 years old. Probably won't need too many more years from the next case to make sure he dies in prison.

And who knows, with the Roger Stone dump there might be evidence of him doing more crimes, he might get a third round.

I totally believe this has nothing to do with the jewish lobby throw a fit. Totes. We've progressed so much as a nation since those wild young days of *checks notes* 2017 when trump was talking about mudlims celebrating in the streets of new york on 9/11

"Jewish lobby"

Go gently caress yourself buddy. What Omar said wasn't anti- Semitic. Implying there is a Jewish lobby absolutely loving is. Exact sort of language that implies there's secret Jewish masterminds leading the nation astray. Wasn't it y'all who kept trying to separate Israel and Judaism? Take your own drat advice and specify if you don't want to look like a gigantic rear end in a top hat.

So call them a pro Israel lobby, which they are instead of literally implying jews control American politics to the detriment of our national interests.

Because that is offensive and that is anti-semitic.
