Tucker: The Left Thinks Manafort Deserves To Die in Prison for Running Trump’s Campaign
RUSH EXCERPT:
CARLSON: "First we want to tell you that today marks the second day of Paul Manafort’s trial in Virginia. He is charged with tax evasion and filing false loan documents. The average sentence for tax fraud in this country is a little over a year in prison, one year in three months. Manafort is facing 305 years in prison. He is 69 years old, he has never been charged with a crime. If he is convicted in this trial, Paul Manafort will die in prison. The left thinks that’s just fine. Manafort ran Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. They believe he deserves to die for that. Watching from the White House, the president tweeted this today about the trial. “Looking back on history, who was treated worse, Alphonse Capone, legendary mob boss, killer and public enemy number one, or Paul Manafort, political operative and Reagan told Alden and now serving solitary confinement although convicted of nothing? Where is the Russian collusion”? It’s interesting point. Al Capone ordered the murders of scores of people. He got an 11 year sentence and was released after just eight. He was barely 40 years old when he got out of prison because he probably never made the mistake of managing it unfashionable could political campaign. The plan for Paul Manafort is to ensure that he dies behind bars. Mueller’s lead prosecutor in this case, Andrew Weissmann, is working hard to make that happen. If you are at Hillary Clinton’s election night party in New York City you may recognize Andrew Weissmann. He was there too hoping to celebrate Hillary’s victory. Now he’s doing the next best thing, avenging Hillary’s defeat. Keep in mind that in America justice is a possibility evenly applied. It’s maybe the best thing about our country. Political differences aren’t supposed to get you locked behind bars. Then came the resistance and everything changed. Opposing trump became a battle of total war. Whatever it takes, even if it means corrupting our justice system and ending a man’s life."
