Even with what seems to be an expected pardon, there will be other consequences for the former Trump campaign manager.
(CNN) A federal judge will sentence Paul Manafort on Thursday for defrauding banks and the government and failing to pay taxes on millions of dollars in income he earned from Ukrainian political consulting -- charges that stemmed from special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. The penalty may be steep enough to keep the longtime lobbyist and former Trump campaign chairman in prison for the rest of his life. Prosecutors say that Manafort, 69, deserves between 19 and 25 years in prison as well as millions of dollars in fines and restitution for the crimes, for which a jury convicted him after a three-week trial last summer. Manafort has shown little remorse, they say, and even lied under oath following a plea deal after the trial. www.cnn.com/...

As you may recall from Manafort's trial this summer in Virginia, you cannot bring any electronics into the courthouse, so no live-tweeting from today's 3:30pm sentencing.

I get this argument in the abstract, but it breaks down quickly. Was Stone possible working with WikiLeaks "collusion"? Was Trump Jr. emailing with Goldstone? Was Manafort talking to Kilimnik? Where's the line? https://t.co/mqiFLTcbtf https://t.co/NcVzAHgkoTâ Philip Bump (@pbump) March 7, 2019
