PAUL MANAFORT'S FOURTH CHOICE

from 
THE DAILY BEAST

"Paul Manafort, the former campaign chairman for President Donald Trump, was convicted of eight counts of tax fraud and bank fraud by a federal jury in Virginia earlier Tuesday. 

But it’s far from over for Manafort.

Manafort’s Choices: Work With Mueller, [HOPE LIKE HELL] for Trump Pardon, or Die in Prison

Unlike a typical defendant, Manafort still has several options available to him. His next move, and Trump’s response to it, could have explosive impact on the larger special counsel investigation and on the future of Trump’s presidency. 

Next up for Manafort is sentencing. While all eight counts of conviction combined carry a maximum of 80 years in prison, he isn’t going to be locked up until 2098. Federal sentences are determined in part through a calculation based on the defendant’s prior criminal history (for Manafort, none) and the seriousness of the offense (for Manafort, very). 

... All things considered, Manafort likely faces a sentence of around eight to twelve years in prison. For a 69-year-old man, that could mean life behind bars...

I've been dancing in the streets the last couple of days, especially after former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen said he's going to cooperate with Mueller.

But these rich white boys are not fools. We all know they mostly stick together.  And I'll bet you a million doughnuts Manafort's  financial behavior is standard in the circles he runs in.

...which might include some of judge's running buddies depending on how much money he earns per year.

Reading between the lines of news stories here, there, and everywhere over the last couple of weeks, the judge in Manafort's case was either trying extra hard to make sure the prosecution's case was solid OR he was trying to trip the prosecution up; he made that many calls against the prosecution during the trial.  

So, I say the forth choice Manafort has is a hail mary from the judge himself because, in my opinion, Paul Manafort should be visualized as a white cop on this occassion.

That is, the judge could very well say, "Yeah, the jury found you guilty. But... well.... everybody does what you do. And this was a political witch hunt aimed at Orange Voldemort anyway. You just got caught up in it.  So I'm going to give you 8 months in Club Fed " 

...a prison which may have cells fancier than half of all eighteen year olds' apartments.

However, I'm still dancing in the streets. And I'll stay until the party is over. But I'll be kinda surprised if Manafort goes to jail for a whole 3 years, much less the rest of his entitled life.  

By the way, a pardon from Trump is not out of the question. 

Trump has proven beyond a doubt that all but 10 out of the 532 congress people in Washington to represent us are toothless cowards. He can do whatever the hell he wants until the Senate and House Of Representatives is dominated by the democrats. 

And if Pelosi-The-Spineless-Whisperer and Whiny Grandpa Schumer are still running thangs --if by some miracle the House AND THE SENATE do change hands in November--  Apricot @$$wipe might STILL be able to do whatever the hell he wants.

I'm still dancing though. 

Manafort and Dayglo Orange Dumb@$$ are going to be sweating and hyperventilating until after sentencing is done.   And Cohen, Omarosa, and Mueller could wind up carpet bombing Chump and Manafort with new and ugly revelations for days, maybe even weeks. 

SOOO...

Here's to hoping Manafort panics and runs into Mueller's arms, starts whispering everything Mueller wants to hear, and gets that impeachment rolling for real.
