Fog Blog Paul Manafort Sentence Log:

PAUL MANAFORT , ONE TIME MANAGER OF THEN DONALD TRUMP'S PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN WAS SENTENCED TO ONLY 47 MONTHS OUT OF A POSSIBLE 25 YEARS BUT THERE IS MORE SENTENCING TO COME.......The Virginia judge who handed Manafort a 47-month sentence -- far below the federal guidelines for his crimes -- also gave Trump a propaganda tool for his fervent effort to discredit Mueller's investigation when he pointed out that the conviction was for bank and tax fraud and not for colluding with Russia."I just want to tell you that his lawyer went out of his way actually to make a statement last night, no collusion," Trump told reporters Friday morning before departing for Alabama, adding, "The judge, for whatever reason, I was very honored by it, also made the statement that this had nothing to do with collusion with Russia."In fact, Judge T.S. Ellis only said that collusion wasn't an issue for him to consider in the case. He did not assess whether it happened or not.
