Sentencing – The Politicus

Chevron, not the DOJ, prosecutes a human rights activist, successfully sentencing him to prison.

“Today's sentencing of human rights lawyer Steven Donziger should be front-page news ringing alarm bells anywhere people are concerned about democracy, abuses of corporate power, and the rule of law. The real crime here is the death and disease resulting from Chevron's poisoning of the drinking water of thousands of Indigenous...

Federal prosecutors recommend 0-6 months for Mike Flynn

Mike Flynn gets the sentencing memorandum in the aftermath of his “assistance” to the Mueller investigation. The tune-changing, much like Paul Manafort’s results in a shift in the sentencing recommendation.

Lt. Col. Vindman would have protected the children and athletes who 'Gym' Jordan ignored

Convicted child sex abuser Jerry Sandusky recently sought a lighter prison sentence for his 45-count conviction in 2012. The former Penn State assistant football coach still vehemently declares his innocence to the increasingly-limited number of people who will listen, but while a new trial was denied by a state court, this challenge was...

a Ukraine-gate impeachment still includes the Mueller Report's nascent counterintelligence findings

The GOP should be careful about wishing for a quick up and down vote on impeachment. The Ukraine chapter is essentially part III of the Mueller report, leaving the GOP with a Pyrrhic victory if they “acquit” Trump in a Senate trial. The Democrats, by contrast are looking to optimize...

Manafort's Lawyer Kevin Downing Says Judge Jackson Found “No Collusion”, Crowd Shouts “Liar.”

After Paul Manafort’s sentencing yesterday Manaforts lawyer, Kevin Downing, addressed the waiting TV cameras outside the courthouse, pirouetting for an intended audience of one saying Judge Jackson had found “no evidence of collusion” which was not strictly true or even close to the truth. The assembled crowd responded indignantly with...

USA Today analysis shows just how ridiculously lenient Manafort's initial sentencing was

When Paul Manafort appeared before Judge T.S. Ellis last week, he was facing up to 24 years in prison, so the 47 months he actually got seemed like a slap on the wrist. Turns out it was. A recent analysis by USA Today showed that Manafort appeared to get kid-glove...
