Good on you for pointing out the privileged treatment of those that have money in U.S.

[sallydaniel]

The arrogance of this administration is mind boggling

The founding fathers would hang Trump.

I don't drink but if manafort go in jail . I will cheer with a nice bottle of wine.

[seanmilesjones]

It’s so clear Trump wants to be an autocrat, and his base is too dull to understand it.

Paul Manafort is giving a seminar on witness tampering on June 15th, 2018. Course location is still to be determined. This is an accredited course and will earn credits toward a diploma at Trump University. Course name: "Witness Tampering for Dummies 101". Cost: $1, 000, 000 (or a box of cigarettes, depending on course location).

Now these wealthy mobsters are learning theyre not kings...

[sawahtb]

How is Sarah H. Sanders gonna spin this?

[internetpeople]

Witness tampering is potentially 20 years in the slmamer. Nice going, Paul.

I got tired of this show (The Trump Show) and stopped watching, reading and listening any news with the silly expectati.on that everything will go away after a while, two weeks passed by and I'm back and everything has got worst for these gang(sters), the sad thing is that they (or should I say He?) are taking a whole country down with them (He).

[rhimeralemuse]

Manafort is old, he will perish in the Penitentiary, unless.

[davidpeterson]

Pawlie ain't gettin' outta da pen on dis one, folks!

[Kim-tfif]

Accepting a pardon means you are admitting GUILT!

[bellejour]

I like orange marmalade on my toast...

[ichifish]

I turned 70 in prison doing life without parole
No one could steer me right, but mama tried, mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied
That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried
Merle Haggard

[richardalexander]

Good idea, let Paul Manafort cool his heels in jail until his court case.

[Designlovn]

Manafort was like, life in prison? Ok.

[seanmilesjones]

Also, essentially Paul Manfort and DJT are like cavemen in 2018 when it comes to tech

[stellashepherd]

Canary in the coal mine smile or cat that ate the canary smile?

[mjustjeanette]

One law for the Rich, another for the poor. Yes, you have the right to a defense but if you can't afford it though luck... America, where "All men are created equal" is a saying; not a truth.
