    This is the right take. The scandal is that many, many other people, from less privileged backgrounds than Manafort, also deserve a mercy they don't get.https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/1103809551600635904 …

    I don't actually have any investment in Paul Manafort spending more than 4 years in prison. He's 69 and that's going to be brutal. In fact, downward sentencing departures THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM would be great!

        That's the exact problem though. If he only gets 4 years while others get lots more for less crime then the system is rigged. White men can still do whatever they want in America and that's fucked.

        And a lot of them show remorse. Which imho is a reasonable expectation for a downward departure from the guidelines.

        He won't serve those 47 months. He's already served 9 months under house arrest and jail. That applies to his sentence. He likely won't do even 3 years. He's be in a minimum security camp. He got a huge gift from this judge.

        Until that changes, whites must face the same fate as POC.
