T. S. ("Dare I eat a peach?" ) Ellis is saying: "Mr. Manafort, there should be statues of you erected throughout the capitol, and not just on K Street. I want you to know that I'm requesting The Boy Scouts name a rank above Eagle in your honor, extraordinarily difficult to achieve, which will reflect courageous effort, prodigious knowledge, and out-standing moral character of a world-class order. . . . But the government has shown your culpability in a matter of tax evasion--which they hyperbolically call defrauding banks and the government for decades--so I must sentence you to something. . . . How about less than a fifth of the sentencing guidelines propose? . . . That sounds fair, and with time already served, good behavior, my and the Boy Scouts' endorsements, and a little grease here and there (if you know what I mean), why you could be out before The Fourth. . . . Boy, what a birthday present to our country!"

(20,895 posts)defrauded a Russian mobster, committed bank fraud, treason, lied in your plea deal to prosecutors, and basically are the worst human being ever to be in my court room. The guidelines recommend a mandatory sentence of 19 to 25 years! Think about that twenty years inside the pen. Of course those guidelines are only for black people. Seeing that you're rich and white I'm going to have to let you go with a very stern warning and three hours of community service. Don't let it happen again, mister!
