Richard Herman: Manafort Will Be Facing Probably 100 Years When He’s Convicted in D.C.

RUSH EXCERPT:
MANAFORT: "So I would expect those counts get tried because it goes toward the pressure they want to put on manafort. The next trial takes place in a jurisdiction where trump won less than 7% of the vote. This jury will not be sympathetic to him. They will convict him. The case is pretty much black and white like the first case was. He'll be facing probably 100 years when he gets convicted there. He's facing a minimum of 30 right now. And the thing with the pardoning, Fred, is this. It's interesting. Yes, the president has the power to pardon. It may be an abuse of power. It may be obstruction by the president. But he can do it. When you get convicted of federal tax crimes and federal tax fraught that means you committed state tax fraud. When the state prosecutes you for state tax fraud that cannot be pardoned. He's in a world of trouble, Fred."
