I’m real curious what kind of a sentence Cohen will get tomorrow.
Manafort’s lawyers seem like they expect a pardon from Trump soon.
Sitting in jail through Christmas and New Year’s, eating shit food, and waiting for an orange-stained Santa who ain’t gonna come through sounds like a perfect end to his 2018 and an appropriate beginning to his 2019.
At least 48 months, is my guess.
How about this sentence: “Mr. Cohen, you have been a very, very naughty boy.”
My understanding was that Manafort was allowed to keep - or at least transfer to his wife - some very significant assets under the terms of his deal with Mueller. If that all goes away as part of his re-sentencing,
it’s going to be very hard on his family. OTH, if he really is the smartest guy in the room - as he apparently believes - then maybe he walks and takes his cake home too. Not terribly likely, though.
