Like, the thing that blows my mind is that this is what these assholes get when there's this giant investigation with a bunch of resources and everything is happening in public view. Imagine how absolutely minimal a threat any of this is to other rich assholes who haven't managed to piss off 1/3 of the country but are doing a lot of the same kind of poo poo.

The only time rich people face serious jail time is when they steal from other rich people.

And those countries are going to tell him to go gently caress himself, the US already has lease agreements on the land that go for decades, and nothing will change except more near irreparable damage to the US worldview. Edit: It's like me telling my landlord that they have to pay me for the privilege of living in their apartment, because if I didn't then some squatter would move in.

I thought below guideline sentences could be tossed and the defendant resentenced? Isn't that the "government overreach" that yallqaeda was "protesting" at the bird sanctuary?

In principle it’s really good and could probably extend to a number of other companies. I think saying it about google and Apple may have the wrong reaction from the population despite being true.

hobbesmaster posted:18 years was the guideline? Manafort's sentence came in light for a bunch of reasons: - The sentencing guidelines aren't a mandatory minimum - Mueller's team actually had no recommendation, just the sentencing guidelines - Judge Ellis is notorious for coming in light for white-collar crime sentencing - He badgered the special counsel's office a lot, likely because federal judgeships are the last true dictatorship and he can bloviate about whatever the gently caress, and be wrong, as much as he wants - Manafort is white - Similar cases on tax/bank fraud come in light, someone recently got only 6 months for a comparable thing - The DC case is about the foreign lobbying and poo poo like that, this one was just the tax/bank poo poo All of the above are contributions, so it's highly unlikely the sentence gets overturned or anything like that. In the meantime, Chelsea Manning refused to testify against Assange/WikiLeaks. She was given immunity to testify, but still refused.

From a White House source, the House Oversight Committee has obtained documents related to Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump's security clearances that the Trump administration refused to provide, according to a senior Democratic aide involved in handling the documents.

She was given full immunity to testify and has refused hence the contempt order. This is the hypothetical situation where a witness has full immunity and refuses to testify come to life.

US criminal justice seems to care a lot more about how much physical labor went into financial crimes than actual damage done. Walked your rear end to a store, broke a window, picked up a laptop, and ran away. Big Crime. Clicked some buttons and had a shady lawyer transfer millions: Little Crime.
