I feel very badly for Paul Manafort and his wonderful family. “Justice” took a 12 year old tax case, among other things, applied tremendous pressure on him and, unlike Michael Cohen, he refused to “break” – make up stories in order to get a “deal.” Such respect for a brave man!

Translation: “Hang in there, Paulie. You gotta pardon in your future!”
Trump shows he’s even dumber than anyone thought.
Don’t hire Cohen as your lawyer???
He’s lost his fucking law-license, jackass. And it’s YOUR fucking FAULT.
Nevermind the fact he’ll be in federal prison.
That’s going to be the story. Trump and Hannity already are spreading it. Cohen committed perjury during his pleading in order to lessen his sentence.
Mueller dangled other opportunities for Cohen to commit additional crimes in exchange for going easy on him. Word is if Cohen rapes a small boy it’ll take a year off his sentence.
What an asshole. If anyone would “break” in two seconds, it’s “dealmaker” and cringing coward par excellence Trump.
I guess the age of the case makes it less potent. By this logic, Trump probably feels that some 300 PA Catholic priests should be left alone . . .
