Trump: Judge's order to jail Paul Manafort 'tough,' 'very unfair'...

President Trump called the recent decision by a federal judge to jail his former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, until his trial in September “tough” and “very unfair,” suggesting there should instead be criminal punishments for former FBI Director James Comey and Hillary Clinton.

“Wow, what a tough sentence for Paul Manafort, who has represented Ronald Reagan, Bob Dole and many other top political people and campaigns. Didn’t know Manafort was the head of the Mob. What about Comey and Crooked Hillary and all of the others? Very unfair!” Trump tweeted Friday.

Manafort has not been convicted of a crime, nor has he been sentenced. Trials involving the charges brought against him in both Washington, D.C., and Virginia have not yet started.

Hopefully an impetus to roll out pardons for the Oregon ranchers Dwight and Steve Hammond.

Sent back to prison a second time to serve out five year mandatory “terrorism” sentences for lighting a backfire to protect their land.

The matter crossed Don McGahn’s (White House Counsel) desk in the last month according to sources out in Oregon.

The Oregon Standoff protest was held on their behalf and its leaders acquitted by a jury and a rigged second trial was held, some pled guilty etc.

But the final sentence there has been handed out.

The matter of the protesters is behind, not get on to helping the Hammonds.

Unfair, criminal, you nut Trump. It is unconstitutional and still you will not do anything real that we the people want you to do. Are any of the communists left in jail yet?

Unfair doesn’t even begin to describe it.

And I’m sick and tired of Ryan and McConnell (among others) standing by and doing nothing! Not even lip service.

He was out on bail already. He violated the conditions by contacting a witness or witnesses. Or that’s what they say. No idea what are the details.

I would not pardon someone before their case has been made. Putting Manafort in jail seems like political persecution from my viewpoint.

THE RAT PLAN:

1. Get Trump to fire Comey

2. Comey with the help of Rosenweisel get a special counsel appointed. Mueller is a conspirator in the Uranium ONE deal, his only chance to stay out of jail is to get Trump.

3. Special Counsel step across the line, Trump fires him too

4. Then the RATS get slime RINOs like Linda Graham (FAIRY-SC) and John Syndey McCain (TRAITOR-AZ) on board to impeach and convict President Trump.

Unfortunately for the RATS, President Trump stopped at #1.

Roseinweasal is a key part of the conspiracy to get Trump. We don't know if Sessions is letting Rosenweasal and his fellow traitors hang themselves OR if he is a willing co-conspirator.

Trump is in charge but he can't step into the RAT plan too early. It is truely fun to watch Trump let these traitors hang themselves out to dry.

Where are those people? They are in DC laughing their A$$E$ off. Sessions will not help Trump. Trump won’t help himself. Someone needs to get some ball$. These people are still owned by Clintons and/or scared to death. I have been saying for months “One major arrest of the Deep State and all the BS will stop. Meuller will quit. Instead we play a game with white hats and red pills.

Exactly. AFAIK, PDJT is the first elected official in decades to criticize ANY court ruling. It should happen much more often from Congress.
