The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.Paul Manafort has been indicted by a Manhattan grand jury in connection with a multi-million dollar mortgage fraud scheme, according to court documents obtained by NBC News.
The 69-year-old longtime GOP operative is accused of falsifying business records to illegally obtain millions of dollars as part of a yearlong mortgage fraud scam.“No one is beyond the law in New York,” Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. said in a statement. Word of the indictment came less than an hour after Manafort was sentenced to an additional 43 months in prison by a Washington federal judge on conspiracy charges brought by special counsel Robert Mueller.
In total, Manafort faces seven-and-a-half years in prison, though he'll get credit for nine months of time served.
This is good news!! Now Hillary Clinton can be prosecuted for her Federal offenses that Lisa Page and others identified under oath, as well as in the many states in which they occured.
You all just want to watch him suffer a painful death, eh?
Put him in general population! Real time
LinDesigns111 This is called 'piling on.' I for one want more of it.
DT just said on TV he was not aware of the state charges. Anyone think this is just another of the MANY lies?!
'Your honor, the pain level Mr Manafort suffers from his courageous battle with gout will prevent him from standing trial until further notice.'
Cool. Great timing.

I remember Manafort going after HRC. Wow. These criminals wanted to transfer their crimes to someone else.
White guy is up for 20-35 years. Gets seven. Will serve 3-5. Chalk it up to white privilege of corrupt/compromised judges. Maybe this will be justice?
