Manafort is a political prisoner. Bottom line, the criminal Left is running the show.
Wow, what a tough sentence for Paul Manafort, who has represented Ronald Reagan, Bob Dole and many other top political people and campaigns. Didn’t know Manafort was the head of the Mob. What about Comey and Crooked Hillary and all of the others? Very unfair!

Former Trump campaign chief Manafort sent to jail by U.S. judge
Sarah N. Lynch, Warren Strobel, Reuters, June 15, 2018:
Story continues below advertisementWASHINGTON (Reuters) – A federal judge on Friday sent Paul Manafort to jail pending trial after he was charged with witness tampering, in the latest episode in a slow fall from grace for a man who was President Donald Trump’s campaign chairman in 2016.
Manafort, a longtime political operator and businessman, has been a focus of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russia’s role in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
Manafort has been indicted in both Washington and Virginia on a series of mostly financial-related charges, including conspiring to launder money and defraud the United States.
He had been on home confinement in Alexandria, Virginia, and had been required to wear an electronic monitoring device. But last week Mueller charged him in a new indictment with witness tampering.
Manafort pleaded not guilty to that charge on Friday but U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson in Washington revoked his bail, sending him to jail.
“I have no appetite for this,” she said. “But in the end, I cannot turn a blind eye.
“You’ve abused the trust placed in you,” she added later.
Manafort turned around briefly to wave to his wife in the front row before heading out a door at the back of the courtroom, court witnesses said.

The law is the law and it protected by statute. Even if the government bring in laws repealing a law , if they went against the law they repeal prior to repealing it , they have broken the law. Problem is even the UN is so corrupt , theres no enforcing justice. NWO and police states coming your way .

I’m still confused about what this has to do with Russian collusion? The feds could go door to door and fill up the jails with people. This is a Stalinist assault wrapped in the guise of “Rule of Law.”

As Obama, Hillary, Holder, Lynch, Comey etc… give their middle finger to America and its citizens,
Yes, there are two laws in this country confirmed now. One for us citizens and another for the so called “elite/politicians.
Better apply for your permit for a gun license people. Yes, ask the government for you to use your God given and US Constituion right.

Agree. Clinton mafia still active after Trump takeover as they kill another witness
to email investigation http://tinyurl.com/y8p9cv5l
They know their hold overs in FBI / DOJ /NSC will help them out !
Unless they are totally purged including Left/Liberal judges not involved in the cases
to keep out their bias …its uphill task to prosecute them.

It is Hillary that should be sent to jail for treason and espionage. Her husband for the same thing of treason and also RAPE.
Yet they remain FREE?? This man has hardly done a crime compared to what the Clintons have done, yet he goes straight to jail which some people mention is very unusual.
We need to jail Robert “Mugabe” Mueller, Comeynist, the Nerogro sodomite (who started all this) Wassername have all done some VERY serious crimes that involve treason and espionage.
If this keep going on we need a CIVIL WAR to reverse this crap of demons. Then we need to go after 535 Congogressmen that put in that damn trouble-making Negro who was NEVER legal to be in that office.

but a former NFL player accused of multiple acts of rape, kidnapping and other crimes is free on $50000 bail. Where is the justice here?

Based on a dossier produced by collusion between Hillary, Obama, Russia, and British intelligence.
A bogus investigation was opened.
This investigation has failed to produce any evidence of collusion by Trump and Russia.
The basis for all charges is politically motivated and since the warrant is invalid democrats feel justified to continue to wave it around like a sword..even imprisoning their political opposition..
The entire charade requires the Deep State FBI that is still run by obama and Hillary to imprison all Trump associates until they commit perjury so they can see their wife and children again..
So Hillary Obama can then be free to create more phoney dossiers on any American who may have voted for Trump and then they can interrogate you, until you admit you’re a russian spy and thats why you voted for trump, otherwise you may never see your family again.
But Hillary can never be charged with a crime, she is not only above the law, she is above all gods…

I recently read that the average American commits three felonies per day, and probably does not know it. Congress has been handing its job of lawmaking over to regulatory agencies for decades. At some point a law was made that the regulations we thought were being created to regulate activities within industries were given the power of enforceable law over citizens. I would love to see Comey, Hillary, the Clinton Foundation, Obama, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Lois Lerner, both Obama AG’s, and assorted other members of the Senior Executive Service judged with the same severity that is being applied to Manafort. By that measure they would all hang, as per the just punishment for treason. I could name a hundred more, but do not have time.

Obama ordered this judge to revoke his bail. Obama has a replica of the oval office just two miles from the White House. Obamas secretary of State is Hillary Clinton, Obamas un ambassador is still Susan Rice

mueller just wants Manafort to make up stories about collusion. Manafort is just a pawn for mueller. Only he seems to be more faithful than mueller thought. I agree with the Political Prisoner description. That’s what the left is good for. Agree with them or bcome a political prisoner. The left is PURELY EVIL. mueller included. mueller doesn’t deserve any caps, a dungeon probably be more appropriate for him.
