Nou ja, volgende week krijgt hij nog een straf toch als die successive is in plaats van concurrent dan zit hij toch een tijdje achter tralies.

Ho, wacht even hier ... hij heeft bijna 4 jaar gevangenis gekregen he?! Ja, dat kan relatief licht zijn, maar dat is geen kattenpis ofzo.En dan heeft hij nog die andere zaak te gaan en een eventueel hoger beroep hier. Niet dat het daarmee juist maakt.
Mueller had 19-24 jaar aanbevolen "wegens de ernst van deze misdaden"quote:

Dat hij voor andere misdaden volgende week straf krijgt kan deze rechter toch geen rekening mee houden

Nee, natuurlijk bizar verschil. Gebaseerd op de strafmaat kan ik me voorstellen dat Mueller in beroep gaat, maar we zullen zien.quote:Op vrijdag 8 maart 2019 01:16 schreef Kijkertje het volgende:

Als je 24 jaar eist, en de verdachte krijgt er 4 en je gaat niet in beroep ben je al je geloofwaardigheid kwijt.quote:

En ik denk dat de kans nu ook groter is geworden dat Manafort alsnog voor die 10 andere aanklachten wordt vervolgd waar één jurylid dwars lag en waar de rechter gedwongen was een mistrial voor uit te roepen.

Maar goed of Manafort nou 4 of 24 jaar krijgt, het blijft natuurlijk sws van de gekke dat de campagneleider van de President achter de tralies zit.
Komt bij dat Manafort niet de eerste en wsl niet de laatste zal zijn uit de omgeving van de President van Amerika die schuldig verklaard is/wordt aan misdaden.
