ONLY 47 months in federal prison!!!! well short of federal guidelines., and against what the prosecution had requested...
I couldn't believe it...and neither could anyone else..
Manafort, 69, was facing up to 25 years in prison, a sentence that could have essentially kept him in jail for the rest of his life.

Doesn't surprise me, there are sentences for the rich and sentences for the poor and minorities. A good old republican judge protecting his own. This man broke the law for ten years or more and stole from the American people and gets a slap on the wrist. I hope the next judge throws the book at him, it'll take a female judge to actually do their job.

Hope that the next judge will sentence him to a consecutive term on the new trial, when found guilty on the charges....hoping that he never sees his home again.....

Let's hope the female judge will serve with sense. This guy betrayed our nation and he gets a slap on the wrist.

Next, Manafort will be sentenced on March 13 by U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson in Washington, where he pleaded guilty to two conspiracy charges and pledged to cooperate with Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
A less forgiving judge who could add another 10 years to his term

Don't let us down, Ms. Berman.
