A blameless life?

Well…not sure if you’ve read about the sentencing of Paul Manafort that took place yesterday and the shock that almost everyone feels for the rogue judge when he ignored sentencing guidelines that would have put Manafort in jail for a minimum of 19 years and sentenced him to only 47 months in jail. The most jawdropping comment that the judge made before pronouncing sentence was that, until these crimes, Manafort had led a ‘blameless life”…a blameless life? What the hell world is this idiot living in? Manafort has been the “murderers lobbyist” for the past 30 years, working for some of the worst of the worst dictators in the world, helping to get people murdered and governments overthrown along with even helping a Ukrainian dictator attack American soldiers during unrest there. So, no judge, Manafort did not live a blameless life and you have just driven another stake into the integrity of the US legal system…and you have shown that if you are a friend of trump, you can get away with anything with just a slap on the wrist. For a little context here…a woman in Texas voted mistakenly…she thought she was eligible to vote but wasn’t…and she was sentenced to 12 years in prison…and a guy who bought legal marijuana in Oregon and took it back to Mississippi is now spending 15 years in prison. Manafort did not deserve any lenience since he continued to commit crimes almost up to his sentencing but this trump loving judge took it up himself to do what he could to de-legitimize and attack the Mueller investigation by this terrible travesty of a sentence. Impeach…
