Paul Manafort indicted in New York moments after second sentencing – Whee!

[JimH52]

Of note. RIchard Hatch got more time for not paying taxes on his million dollar Survivor win that Manafort got from Judge Ellis for defrauding the government out of 30 million dollars

Ellis....the "so called judge" is a trumpette...

Former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort was just found guilty on eight counts that special counsel Robert Mueller’s team had charged him with in Virginia.

These charges all related to Manafort’s finances, and to understand them, think about them in two separate groups.

The first group of charges deals with money Manafort made lobbying for Ukrainian politicians. Prosecutors say that in the years before Manafort joined the Trump campaign, he’d moved $30 million of that money from foreign shell companies into the US — but that he didn’t disclose this income on his tax forms, pay taxes on it, or fill out legally required disclosures of his foreign accounts. For this, he was convicted of five tax charges and one failure to declare foreign accounts charge.

The second group of charges is about what Manafort allegedly did once he lost his Ukrainian income after the country’s president was deposed — prosecutors say he tried to conjure up more cash via bank fraud. He was convicted of two counts of bank fraud.

Manaforte plead guilty in federal court to the crimes in this case....to bring up these charges in state court would be double jeopardy....

He didn't pay state taxes either!

Yes and New York trying to stop a pardon will be ruled unconstitutional

The founders has the president as the final judge and final jury

The pardon

New York State leaders also murdering us citizens with infanticide will get the military sicked on them

New York Charges Manafort With 16 Crimes. If He’s Convicted, Trump Can’t Pardon Him.

Yup....and trump said he knew nothing about it....what a frigin LIAR!

Double jeopardy. He has already been convicted of these crimes.

The Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides: ... The federal and state governments can have overlapping criminal laws, so a criminal offender may be convicted in individual states and federal courts for exactly the same crime or for different crimes arising out of the same facts.

 

[MarathonMike]

Evidently NY thinks otherwise....I'm any case Manafort is going to jail FOR A LONG TIME.

trump has surrounded himself with slime...can we expect amything else from him.

He Obstructs Justice in plain sight and thinks....I AM GOLD!

Ooooohh Obstruction of Justice. Legal gobble-de-gook for "We gotta imprison somebody for sumthin!! Democrats have corrupted the DOJ and destroyed the FBI. It's time to clean house BIGLY.

 

[JimH52]

Is this Double Jeopardy?

With the New York District Attorney's charges, even if President Trump pardonsManafort, he still faces a criminal case on the new state charges. Mortgage fraud is not a crime under federal law and therefore there is no double jeopardy issue

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Ooooohh Obstruction of Justice. Legal gobble-de-gook for "We gotta imprison somebody for sumthin

actually, that's a very serious crime. and your cult leader would be under indictment for it right now, where he not the president.

Actually they have to be completely different charges for completely different occurrences since NY State has one of the tougher double jeopardy standards in the nation

So there's that

New York's double jeopardy law was only recently modified just for the purpose of preventing Manafort from being pardoned. There is another case in the docket that's supposed to go before the SC and if they rule in favor of the defendant, the law could be struck down and Manafort still pardoned.

The other lie trump made today:

When asked if he had thought about pardoning Manafort. "I have not even thought about it."

YES YOU HAVE YOU P O S!

So you read POTUS's mind now....

You're an idiot I suggest you go up a few posts and do some research the 5th amendment with regards to fed and state double jeopardy.

Yup....and trump said he knew nothing about it....what a frigin LIAR!

I think we all saw that coming. And more on the way. NY State as well as Maryland are waiting for Citizen Trump in the near future as well on about the same charges. They just can't touch Trump until after he becomes Citizen Trump. And it's a sad state of affairs when an Ex President may spend time in a State Lockup.

You liberal idiots are supporting the actions of a Banana Republic….

Your deep state protected hillary from actual crimes where there

were mountains of evidence proving her guilt while at the same

time they conspired to frame Trump with a made up dossier bought

and paid for by hillary.

If Manafort hadn’t worked for Trump we wouldn’t know his name…

Manafort’s were process crimes that had nothing to do with Russian Collusion…

The deep state with republican help wants to send a message to any

and all future outsiders that this is what will happen to them if they help buck the system…

You liberal Zealots are far more of a threat to America than the Russians…

Pull your head out of your ass and try to see the truth.

Like bringing in your wholly unqualified little fuck trophy and her idiot babyman to the administration to do your backdoor diplomacy...?

Nope,thats all you, my man.

You're falling for a headline suggestion.

Why would Trump pardon him?
There is no reason that he would, other than reporters assumptions.

According to Sarah Sanders Trump has not made up his mind on the issue of the pardon yet.
