Manafort is one cog in the Trump machine. Ellis is one judge.

Final sentence is current time served, so Special Counsel is required to compensate Manafort for the 50 hours.

What the hell is this judge doing? Discussing the food that Manafort will get in jail or is he off on another weird tangent?

Petulant Republican Judge bristles over having to do the right thing, which is something he really doesn’t want to do because of his political leanings, but the case is big and getting a lot of media attention, which means he won’t get away with any partisan bullshit, so he resents the public scrutiny.

Longest 15 minute break ever. Sentence foreshadowing?

Oh, is the judge back in chambers taking a break and just letting everyone stew? Judges love doing that.

Yeah. Frankly, it doesn’t seem fair to the defendant. Just put the damned sentence upfront, then you can pontificate all you like. No need to keep him on pins and needles.

Or 15 minutes of yukking it up in chambers.
