I'll take it. Just announced that Cohen also just pleaded guilty to 8 counts, 2 of which involve Trump.

Ugly Sarah on Manafort & Cohen: “I don’t have anything for you on that”.

Found this on the WaPo comments section.

5 counts - 3 yrs concurrently, 2 counts - 30 yrs each, 1 count - 5 years. Sixty-eight years in jail. Crime doesn't pay kittens.
An awesome verdict if true.

Another interesting post on WaPo.

The Real American

The 51-year-old Cohen said in federal court in New York on Tuesday that he made the payments in coordination with Trump, who wasn't named, to influence the election.
#Impeach
Yet another bombshell.

First, is this supposed to be Cohen, or Manafort? Eight guily counts in each case.

I assume it's Cohen, plea deals include sentences, jury verdicts in general don't, judge sentences later. And that's a lot of years. That was the best deal Cohen could make?

The good news is, this lying, scamming, degenerate scumbag Manafort will now face not one, but two more trials. He’s almost 70, perhaps he will finally get tired and tell the truth. He must be in serious debt, too...

Manafort.

CNN: Here's the breakdown of the counts:

Count 1: Tax Fraud — Subscribing to false US individual income tax returns in 2010 (3 year maximum sentence)

Count 2: Tax Fraud — Subscribing to false US individual income tax returns in 2011 (3 year max sentence)

Count 3: Tax Fraud - Subscribing to false US individual income tax returns in 2012 (3 year maximum sentence)

Count 4: Tax Fraud — Subscribing to false US individual income tax returns in 2013 (3 year maximum sentence)

Count 5: Tax Fraud — Subscribing to false US individual income tax returns in 2014 (3 year maximum sentence)

Count 12: Hiding Foreign Bank Accounts — Failure to File Reports of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts in 2012 (5 year maximum sentence)

Count 25: Bank Fraud — $3.4 million Citizens Bank loan (30 year maximum sentence)

Count 27: Bank Fraud — $1 million Bank of California loan (30 year maximum sentence)

Note: The count numbers are drawn from indictment, which is why the numbering seems off

A mistrial was declared on the remaining 10 counts: Three hiding foreign bank accounts and seven bank fraud or bank fraud conspiracy.

Blind Confidence Couldn’t Save Paul Manafort

President Trump's former campaign chairman was found guilty on eight counts of fraud and financial crimes. But it’s not too late for him to cut a deal.

Paulie 'Walnutz' goose is cooked. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving crook. The rest of the crooks up the food chain must be shaking in their boots. All in all, not a bad day for the 'good guys'.
