240 YEARS!!!!

[Skraxx]

Hooo boy! Not sentenced yet, but that's the potential.

[mainstreetonce]

1. Damn! Will Ostrich jacket still be in style?

Asking for a friend

[gopiscrap]

2. that will never happen

he has no criminal record I am guessing 7-10 out of jail between 5-8 years

[KatyMan]

5. but, if that happens

maybe the remaining 10 counts could keep him in court and legal fees forever...

[gopiscrap]

7. I personally no matter my distaste for Manafort and hatred for trump

feel that 240 years would be excessive I would be happy with 30-40

[KatyMan]

8. perhaps the people of Ukraine would disagree n/t

n/t

[lapfog_1]

3. yeah, depending on how the prosecutors feel about getting guilty verdicts on ALL

3 broad segments of the 18 charges... they may elect to let the 10 charges go and proceed to sentencing on the 8.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

4. Gods i hope so. Pah-leaseeeeeee.

Set a big example.....somewhere the tangelos head is just bristling electric.

6. He will of course appeal

Question is can he get bail pending appeal. Hope not.

[csziggy]

21. Manafort will not get bail

Not only is he expecting another trial next month, his bail for both those trails was revoked because he tried to influence witnesses. In addition he may not have the assets to pay for bail.

Paul Manafort will be in jail for years no matter what happens with his next trial or with any appeals he might try to make - if he has any money to pay attorney to file appeals.

Oh - maybe he could ask Michael Cohen to represent him in those appeals?

10. with this judge?

Time served and $250 fine.

[Stinky The Clown]

11. He'll get under 10

Or a pardon.

[Grammy23]

12. At Manafort's age....68 or 69 years old...

Anything over 5 years is a lllooonnggg time to be incarcerated. Considering what his life expectancy would be at 70, thinking that a quarter or more of that time would be behind bars would be a pretty sad prospect. Not undeserved. Just thinking how I’d feel since I am the same age.

[HipChick]

13. So what happens to ill gained possessions?

Do they get sold off at auction? Asking for a friend..

[Lee-Lee]

17. They will be once any appeals are done.

[Danascot]

14. Does the judge or the jury decide sentencing?

nt

[Lee-Lee]

16. The judge, but in Federal cases they have minimums they can't go under.

[Danascot]

18. Thanks!

[Vinca]

15. They usually run the sentences concurrently so he'd never get 240 years, but

he's definitely going to be on a long, long vacation at Club Fed.

[erpowers]

19. Trump Will Pardon

I think Trump will pardon him. I doubt he will spend many days in prison.

[Massacure]

20. If you are speaking of Manafort, it's actually 80

Per CNN, three years each for five counts of tax fraud, five years for the FBAR filing, and 30 years each for two counts of bank fraud.
