Here's another travesty about Judge Ellis' leniency in sentencing:

It sends a message to the others that they won't spend the rest of their lives in jail if they don't cooperate with Mueller. How many of them are saying, "The courts don't see these kind of crimes as a big deal, so I can continue to resist because a few years in jail is no big deal. Besides, I might get a pardon."

2. federal prison is always a big deal

4. If they have not been snitch

the persons protected may reward them greatly.

3. If Manafort's health continues to decline,

those 4 years plus his other sentence will be the rest of his life. Maybe he's being poisoned in jail, and his issue isn't gout at all.

5. Four years in prison would be terrifying to me

But then again I’m not a racist sociopath so I can’t possibly put myself in their shoes.

6. It really is amazing how they cross the gray line with such aplomb.

Like they have been doing it for a lifetime and know that no one has the resolve to stop them.
