The American Justice System, For The Rich and By The Rich, Paul Manafort Is Sentenced To 4 Years In Prison

in #politics5 years ago

Paul Manafort, former Trump campaign chairman, received what many people believe is an unusually light sentence this past week from Judge T.S. Ellis, who has been openly critical of the Russia investigation.

My thoughts on this news

The federal guidelines range for the crimes Manafort committed are between 19 and 24 years, but Manafort only got 4 years! This is unreal, this is how the American justice system works, when you are rich you get a light pat on the head and you do not even get the minimum sentence. If you get caught with less than an ounce of weed you get put away for 5+ years. Manafort has been a conman and grifter his entire life, he embezzled millions of dollars, took payments from foreign government officials, and defrauded the US Government by evading to pay his taxes. There are thousands of Americans in this country who have not even come close to committing crimes of that degree and they are rotting in jail right now for much longer. Justice for all my ass, this is justice for all except for the rich who are above the law...
