Wow, what a tough sentence for Paul Manafort, who has represented Ronald Reagan, Bob Dole and many other top political people and campaigns. Didn’t know Manafort was the head of the Mob. What about Comey and Crooked Hillary and all of the others? Very unfair!

I’ve had to beat 17 very talented people including the Bush Dynasty, then I had to beat the Clinton Dynasty, and now I have to beat a phony Witch Hunt and all of the dishonest people covered in the IG Report...and never forget the Fake News Media. It never ends!

"But, manafort was used by A,B,C,D,...so therefore they are blessed and sancitified.' No need for him to be personally liable for anything he himself does. Nice chain of reasoning for 'the entitled one.'.

President Donald Trump lashed out at a judge on Friday who ordered Paul Manafort to be sent to jail until the start of his trial for alleged money laundering, witness tampering, and other assorted crimes.

“Wow, what a tough sentence for Paul Manafort, who has represented Ronald Reagan, Bob Dole and many other top political people and campaigns,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “Didn’t know Manafort was the head of the Mob. What about Comey and Crooked Hillary and all of the others? Very unfair!”

Manafort was not sentenced on Friday, however. Rather, he simply had his house arrest revoked because he was caught red-handed sending messages in an attempt to shape testimony by witnesses who may have testified against him.

Additionally, Manafort’s shady lobbying work for Kremlin-backed Ukrainian politicians was well known at the time Trump hired him to be his campaign manager. As conservative columnist Eli Lake wrote all the way back in April 2016, Manafort has been “linked to one corruption scheme after another” over the years thanks to his connections with Kremlin-connected political figures.

he violated his bail and has been remanded to custody per the agreement he made when he was placed on home monitoring.

His sentencing will come either at the end of the trial, or when he cuts a deal to reduce his sentence by giving the prosecution everything he knows about your actions.

Go ahead and pardon him...so he can be forced to testify without fear of self-incrimination.
