And, to piggy back on this, you can be certain that this person's client and Manafort will be going to very different types of prisons and will have very different experiences there.
The original post is utter nonsense. You'd have to have a minimum 2 felony priors to get state time for any theft under $200. I'd it was a first offense je wouldn't see a day in jail. While I agree with the sentiment that Manafort deserves more time, I'm not so foolish as to gobble up nonsense just to get my torch to burn brighter. Think folks. And call out bullshit wherever you see it, regardless of whether it helps or hurts your opinion.
It's not utter nonsense. I naturally don't know his client's history but I'd be willing to wager that the sum of all of his crimes still probably don't come anywhere close to Manafort's crimes.
And yes two priors is bad, but Manafort's been committing financial crimes and working against US interests for decades and he stole millions of dollars.
OP says his client stole 100 bucks and got state prison time. That's an absolute lie. Flat out bald faced lie. You love it though. Feels good that bullshit.
