BREAKING: Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance unseals 16 fraud and conspiracy charges against Paul Manafort.

[Duane]

Hahaha, this is amazing.

 

[Greg NYC3]

yes

yes

yes

 

[studyguy]

Those C-E felonies are all a minimum 1 year in NYC, the 3 counts B felony are potentially more time than all other charges each. That's a lot of time potentially stacked on his head, even if he dodges most of them, the lowest felony has a max of 4 years potentially.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

 

[rec0ded1]

So he'll get what? another year?

 

[ScandiNavy]

So a couple of years more, then.

Unless he committed first degree murder, in which case we can add another 6 months.

 

[wisdom0wl]

What a thing of beauty

 

[compo]

Manafort better get his wheelchair back out

 

[PIMPBYBLUD]

LOL is this the cherry on top?

 

[Sephzilla]

BAH GAWD KING NEW YORK IS CASHING IN MONEY IN THE BANK!

 

[sapien85]

but i thought he had lived an otherwise blameless life?

When you're a republican judge being white means you are otherwise blameless

 

[GK86]

NY putting in that work!

 

[kris.]

Lmao this is fucking good.

[chainlinkspiral]

His gout just got gouty-er.

 

[dietpepsi]

Thats not anywhere close to what he looks like now lol

Also, I thought we knew these charges were coming? I recall reading or hearing something that more shit was coming this week for Pauly. Or was that perhaps a trial for other charges. Im confused. He really does fuckin dig crimes

 

[Dr.Acula]

These are different crimes than what the Feds charged him with, so double jeopardy doesn't apply.

It's like someone saying he can't be charged for that bank robbery in Florida because he was found guilty for grand theft auto in California.

 

[TheAbsolution]

So he'll get what? another year?

All of the counts carry a max of 25 years total so not really.

That was a long wait for GTA V tho.

 

[h0tp0ck3t]

Nice. They were saving this in case of that shitty wrist slapping weren't they?

 

[Jbourne]

God damn, that "otherwise blameless life" shit makes my blood boil. Paul Manafort is more than just a fraudster, he has blood on his hands.

 

[Mesoian]

Wait, explain this to me like I'm 5.

So this is ANOTHER set of allegations on top of the 6 years he got today?

 

[Carolina Reaper]

Wait, explain this to me like I'm 5.

Yes. He'll get way more time for these if convicted, and no chance for a presidential pardon.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

holyyyyy shiiiiit

E3 Megatons RIP

They were just saving it so the federal charges could get handled

 

[Nappuccino]

Manafort fucking loves crime.

Crimes love Manafort, and never leave him behind.

 

[GodofWine]

Wonder if this will convince others to cooperate.

 

[poklane]

I'm loving this

 

[FunkyMonkey]

anyone care to tally the total min max for the state charges if all convicted? 6 to 25 potentially or I am miscounting?

 

[Bernard Coleslaw]

What with this and the Brexit stuff today, I'll be laughing all the way to bed.

 

[Heshinsi]

*Cyrus Vance looking at the sentencing fuckery in regards to Manafort*

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

Oh hell yeah lol. No pardon for you my dude.

 

[TheAbsolution]

So this is just a question. If he gets convicted on these charges, I assume since Federal prison supercedes State prison, he will serve his time in Federal prison and then afterwards be wheeled right into state prison where he would serve any potential time there?

 

[mbpm]

Good, good, let the criminal charges consume you

 

[NihonTiger]

So this is just a question. If he gets convicted on these charges, I assume since Federal prison supercedes State prison, he will serve his time in Federal prison and then afterwards be wheeled right into state prison where he would serve any potential time there?

Correct.

The one thing is by being in federal prison, he wouldn't be available to stand trial in state court, I think.

 

[TheOMan]

Wow the timing of this is giving me life. It must be like climbing over a mountain for him and staring at a taller mountain.

Hahahahahahaha - he definitely got set up. So good.

 

[FreezePeach]

This is like a big red warning light to everyone else in the Trump family.

 

[super-heated plasma]

CNN really trying to throw cold water on this. "Oh it looks bad because it might be politically motivated!" "Double Jeapardy!"

Don Jr shakin in his lil booties

 

[marrec]

Limes Guy.jpg but it's Paul Manafort and he can't hold all the fraud

 

[Jeffolation]

Manafort better get his wheelchair back out

He better step up his game and get an oxygen tank for future court appearances.

They don't know how Double Jeopardy works.
