I always figured on Manafort being a stand up guy and by now he is also a philosopher. A stoic. He is praying for sure and this keeps him enduring. Contrast him with that POS Mike Cohen who crumpled.

Manafort made his own mess. I wish him nothing but the best of luck and the best outcome, but he was clearly caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. Contrast to Podesta and a myriad others who did the same thing and are going scott free. There's no justice if only Manafort gets thrown in jail, but his jail time is quite proper result for the tax fraud that he was convicted of.
