Where did you guys get the idea that “process crimes” are somehow not real crimes?
You understand that the definition of a process crime is a crime against the process of justice - against the justice system itself. If anything, for people who believe in the Rule of Law, process crimes are worse than other crimes.
There’s nothing “extreme” about Manafort or Stone’s sentences.
In both cases, the sentence handed down was at the bottom end of the sentencing guidelines, and well in line with others convicted of the same crimes have recieved.
Of course they do. In jail, Manafort was kept “in solitary” not because the judge ordered it, but because he was afforded a significant number of privileges not given to any other residents of the jail. He was allowed a laptop, and unlimited use of a private phone.
Now that the trial is over and he’s been sentenced, he’s in the minimum-security camp at FCI Loretto - not in “solitary”.
Do you equate solitary to having your own personal television, work station with internet access, a laptop, a private cell phone, unfettered access to attorney’s, and a private shower as being a negative in federal prison?
Honest question. Because that is what Manafort had in his “solitary confinement” that some continue to rage about.
Would you rather have had him in General Population with no access to a private work station, group showers, scheduled and time-restricted attorney privileges, no phone privileges, and a single television shared by all inmates on the respective cell bloc?
Knowledge is power. Or, continue to make funny victimization accusations. Either way, it’s irrelevant to those of us who understand reality and the facts.
this activist lefty judge, not to mention the lying trump hating jury foreman, used them to vent their own political spleen as they were caught up in a total sham investigation to begin with
