Vicious Move By New York Prosecutor

In a move that is particularly vicious given the timing, the prosecutors in New York indicted Paul Manafort just minutes after he was sentenced by a federal judge in DC to another three years or so in prison.  The federal sentences already cover what seems likely to be the rest of Manafort's life.  The Democrats and other left wing groups have been upset that the sentence was too short.  As a result, Manafort is now facing a state prosecution for mortgage fraud and other related activities.  Like the federal crimes for which Manafort was sentenced, these state charges have nothing to do with President Trump or Manaforts short time as campaign chairman.  This is just kicking the guy when he's down, and all to satisfy the baying of the left wing wolves who want blood, not justice.

Think about it.  New York is going to spend tens of thousands of dollars, if not more, to bring charges against Manafort even though he's already in prison for probably the rest of his life.  What penalty will New York prosecutors get?  Will they ask for the right to kick Manafort's corpse repeatedly after he dies?  What more do they want?

The truth is that this move just reveals the left for the bunch of vindictive jerks that they truly are.  They don't mind just wasting the time and money of the prosecutors office if they can target someone who had something to do with Trump.  That's not the kind of portrait that would appeal to anyone except the crazed crowd of cretins who form the far left base of the Democrats.  These are people so infected with hatred that they have forgotten the basic concepts of humanity and decency.

Look, I don't know if Manafort is guilty of these charges or not.  I truly do not care.  I just think that it is disgusting to think of the state spending so much unnecessary effort just to get this guy because he had the nerve to be Trump's campaign manager for three months.
