It is purely political as it currently stands by NYS law Manafort can NOT be charged but leave it to DeathRATS to now pass a law to put double jeapordy in the trashcan...
New York lawmakers may soon vote to ensure that anyone pardoned by President Donald Trump may still face charges in state court.
The change, proposed by Democratic state Attorney General Tish James, aims to fix an unintended loophole in the state's double jeopardy law. Prosecutors have warned the loophole could allow defendants with a presidential pardon to argue they can't be charged with similar state crimes.
The push took on new significance Wednesday when New York City prosecutors announced state charges against ex-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who has already been convicted of federal crimes. Trump critics say the state's case is needed in case Trump pardons Manafort.
While no vote has been scheduled, James says she expects the Democrat-led Senate and Assembly to approve the change in coming weeks
New Manafort charges could spur double jeopardy fix in New York
Would not be surprised if they DATE the legislation to anything 7 years ago as this crime was done over 4 years ago!
Oh, BTW the black DeathRAT activist NYS AG has been anti-Trump since the election and now investigating him with NO CRIME but a fishing expedition....purely political!
N.Y.'s New Attorney General Is Targeting Trump. Will Judges See a 'Political Vendetta?'
