I doubt that Oleg Deripaska thinks Manafort is “generous” and “loyal.”

I am predicting that Manafort will be very disappointed in this case to find that he is getting more than he bargained for.

Judge: After extensive review of your case and past history and, the fact that no one has come forward to speak in your behalf and provide any redeeming qualities that might influence this court… [hammers gavel]… thirty years!

Traitor says what? And why should I give even a single fuck?

That title is a corruption of this classic by the great Ethel Waters.
Sung with Brandon de Wilde in “The Member of the Wedding,” based on the book by Carson McCullers.

If this were a stand up comedy routine, it would be hooted off the stage.

Yeah the slickster can ask, but it doesn’t have to be granted!

Manafort is a traitor and you don’t deserve less than 19-24 years in federal prison!

Should have thought about possibly doing time for ALL the cunning crimes he committed over the last 3-4 decades!

On Andy Dufresne’s first day at Shawshank he told Red he was innocent. Red agreed that everyone in the joint was also innocent.

Beat me to it.

Manafort’s facing prosecution in NY state cases, those can’t be pardoned.

Funny you should put up Robert Blake’s image because he was tried for various crimes including killing his wife but was acquitted. And as thunderclap has explained, Ethel Waters preceded Sammy in singing His Eye Is On The Sparrow (And His Eye is On Me), an old gospel hymn.

Class dismissed.

“Though some may disagree with Mr. Manafort’s politics and may not like some of the individuals he worked for, it cannot be said that Mr. Manafort had anything but an extraordinary and largely successful career,” the memo said.

As a fucking crook and rat fucker.

Thank you, Missus @littlegirlblue!

OT, but from the Washington Post website:

Republican operative and longtime Trump friend Roger Stone faced fresh legal trouble Friday after a federal judge ordered his attorneys to explain why they failed to tell her before now about the imminent publication of a book that could violate his gag order by potentially criticizing the judge or prosecutors with special counsel Robert S. Mueller III.

The order by U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson of the District of Columbia late Friday came barely eight days after Jackson barred Stone from speaking publicly about his case, prompted by a photo posted on Stone’s Instagram account that placed a crosshairs next to a photo of Jackson’s head.

I think after what Team USA / Mueller wrote in Paulie’s sentencing memo—well, he’s basically unpardonable. Way too toxic. Certainly for anyone even thinking about running for re-election.

Offense - singular? I think not. He was convicted of eight offenses.
