15:36:14 Retweeted @AthertonKD 15:15:08 “a country at peace (check)” is one weird way to describe 18+ years of continuous war abroad and ongoing regular airstrikes/combat operations in 7 countries! https://t.co/3pM2RiC23K https://t.co/m0WYVxHhut
15:51:33 Retweeted @BarbMcQuade 14:15:27 Comparing Manafort to all white collar criminals is like comparing El Chapo to all drug dealers. Manafort’s guidelines were much higher than most because fraud total was $55 million, did not accept responsibility, sophisticated scheme and organizer role. https://t.co/1G3qoe725H

18:55:59 Retweeted @djrothkopf 14:12:46 If the president is letting a Chinese madam sell access at Mar-a-Lago to Chinese business people while his friends are getting serviced at businesses she started, he is exposing himself and the country to massive blackmail risk. Surely the IC and FBI are aware of this.

@abulsme tweets from 2019-03-08 (UTC)

00:00:42 47 months is insanely light. Absolutely nuts. WTF!?!
00:02:09 That is just ridiculously low given what the counts were here. Judge is clearly sending a message he thought this whole thing was bullshit.
00:11:53 Retweeted @ScottHech 00:09:35 My colleague’s client today was forced to plead out to the mandatory minimum of 3.5 years (5 months shy of Manafort) for simple possession of a firearm. No allegation of use. Prosecution wouldn’t drop top count after a hearing. Best they had been willing to do was 2 years. in reply to ScottHech
00:18:41 Retweeted @tribelaw 00:16:46 Judge Ellis’s assessment that Manafort led an вЂњotherwise blameless lifeвЂќ was proof that he’s unfit to serve on the federal bench. I’ve rarely been more disgusted by a judge’s transparently preferential treatment to a rich white guy who betrayed the law and the nation.
03:47:07 Retweeted @MonicaLewinsky 02:30:11 yup.

04:39:27 Retweeted @sarahkendzior 2019-03-07 23:55:50 As Roy Cohn — the ruthless mafia lawyer who mentored Trump and introduced him to Manafort and Stone — once said: “I don’t want to know what the law is, I want to know who the judge is.” https://t.co/YbL45l2zcf
06:12:17 Retweeted @ezekilov 00:50:32 To put in context just how ridiculous the Manafort sentence is:There’s over 2000 federal prisoners serving life without parole for nonviolent crimes such as:
Attempting to cash a stolen check
Possessing stolen scrap metal
Siphoning gasoline from a truck

15:59:18 Retweeted @lourdesgnavarro 15:44:40 This thread. This thread. This thread. Just…dear god. All these stories. https://t.co/AnWnE2N6US
16:10:40 Retweeted @dangillmor 15:44:34 People who are surprised by the Manafort sentence need only look back at the judge’s virulently pro-defense and anti-prosecution behavior during the trial. Few articles (that I’ve seen) today note that context. Ex: https://t.co/igtLPNjZ9j Missing context: https://t.co/D0Zvy8WzGT
16:16:20 Retweeted @owillis 15:43:09 the thing i admire most about the gop and dislike about the democrats is that when they get power the gop just uses it and the dems keep it in a box like if they do use it, it will dissipate
16:18:17 Retweeted @kylegriffin1 11:35:50 From a White House source, the House Oversight Committee has obtained documents related to Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump’s security clearances that the Trump admin refused to provide, a senior Democratic aide tells Axios. https://t.co/PbXFKoRbr9
17:04:14 Retweeted @notcapnamerica 16:11:58 Oh my God I felt this. I am crying. This is visceral. https://t.co/up0Jdh53W8
19:14:54 Retweeted @HoarseWisperer 01:27:14 Let’s this be a lesson to would-be criminals:If you’re thinking of accidentally voting illegally, don’t. You can get a long sentence for that.
Just commit a shitload of felonies in the Eastern District of Virginia and hope you get Judge Ellis.
21:16:24 Retweeted @IanSams 20:45:47 Crazy story that just happened in SC:A woman in a MAGA hat showed up to @KamalaHarris‘ event in Myrtle Beach. She came over to Kamala after the event and talked with her for a minute. Swear to God, she then took off her MAGA hat and told Kamala she isn’t with Trump anymore.
21:34:15 Retweeted @emptywheel 18:08:03 Raise your hand if you thought that the Alexandria jail would hold Maria Butina, Paul Manafort, and Chelsea Manning, all at the same time. https://t.co/jVKrRkRwXa

14:22:07 Retweeted @samstein 02:06:23 Here’s a crazy story.With virtually no fanfare, this totally obscure 2020 Democratic presidential candidate is about break the DNC’s 65k donor threshold to qualify for the first debate.
Here’s how Andrew Yang did it.
