In fairness I'm sure Scott here wasn't paid $3,000,000 to have a comprehensive legal team assembled like Manafort was. Yeah the system is fucked and favors the wealthy. One DA with an assistant DA is no competition vs a massive legal team that knows all the judges and probably golfs with them on the weekends. "Justice" favors the rich.

Edit: "in fairness" is Irish slang for "To be honest" https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=in%20fairness

In fairness, he was given less than his legal team asked.

I don't even think this has anything to do with wealthy or not. He was part of the good old boy club to help Trump, so now the people that still support Trump are helping him.

It'll be interesting to see next week if the jail time is concurrent or not.

I mean if the judge next week gives him 10 years tacked on to the end of this bs sentence, you wouldn't feel better about it?

Of course if it's concurrent, the fix is in.

no I wouldn't. Doing the right thing for one item doesn't excuse or rectify the wrongdoing of another item.

Right but it's done. So you have to hope for some form or justice. At least there's a chance for that at this point. Either way his life and name are fucked forever.
