New York prosecutors Wednesday announced the indictment of President Donald Trump's former campaign chief, Paul Manafort, only minutes after his sentencing in a federal case. The 16 charges unveiled by Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance relate to mortgage fraud, conspiracy and falsifying business records. "No one is beyond the law in New York," Vance said in a statement. Manafort's alleged actions "strike at the heart of New York's sovereign interests, including the integrity of our residential mortgage market," Vance added.

Except Hillary and anyone connected to her.

If the left were in charge, they would arrest every single person who voted for Trump and put them in jail

“No one is beyond the law in New York,”

Unless you live in Chappaqua NY and your last name is Clinton.

Stinking hypocrites. I wish a giant meteor landed on Cuomo’s New York mansion.

Kubaki theatre at it’s grandest. I guess the first time they investigated all these charges against Manafort they were just funning around and said naw...nothing important, go away. But the moment he attached to the Trump campaign.....

Actually, this may perversely be a good thing, because it will likely keep Manafort out of jail while they “try” him. That will give Trump the running room he needs to get re-elected before issuing a blanket pardon.

Except Hillary

Exactly, her charity could be charged for numerous state violations but apparently not one in the State's AG office cares.

I don’t believe the President can pardon conviction for a state offense.

Isn’t Manafort in jail on the other charges though?

This is so Trump can’t pardon Manafort completely. Fed crimes but not state crimes. All of this is coordinated and there’s no coincidences

From the article:

President Donald Trump cannot issue pardons for state charges.

Manafort’s alleged actions “strike at the heart of New York’s sovereign interests, including the integrity of our residential mortgage market,” Vance added. ............................ Now, lets go after the former NY Senator from Arkansas. It doesn’t even have to be a deep investigation, all they have to do, is start one, that alone would be impressive.
