Manafort asks judge for compassion, doesn't apologize, no remorse, says it's been "difficult"

[Miles Archer]

Breaking..."I have felt punishment during these proceedings, I've had much time to repent, I ask for your compassion."

So in other words, a pity party asking for leniency,

Ari Melber, MSNBC, court is in recess prior to announcing the sentence.

1. Seems that Manafort, with no apology, crime continuation at the price of early incarceration,

has always been full bet on trump pardon.

[Seems like a horrible bet, even if trump made secret express pardon promise after Manafort conviction].

[WheelWalker]

2. That's right, you had much time to repent... and still not.

[The Truth Is Here]

3. Here's your compassion

Triple the recommended sentence, with a chance of parole in 2100.

Squeal, pigeon, squeal.

[ooky]

4. I heard he's short on cash these days. Now that its almost over for him he should consider

selling his sentencing wheelchair to Michael Flynn.

[lunatica]

5. Self pity is the best kind because it's so sincere!

This once the judge can rest assured that Manafort is telling the truth.
