The political middle is now irrelevant. (Good riddance from my perspective.)
All of the energy is at the poles.
In a polarized nation, EVERYTHING is political.

Why is Manafort's case so political?
Its a point attempting to be made by TEAM MUELLER. The average punishment for the indicted crimes of Manafort? 1.5 year sentence. Manafort's punishment if found guilty on all charges? A possible 300 years. This is about the DOJ tugs still hidden from public view.....beating on their chests and saying....LOOK at what power we still possess. The Problem? The Power of the Pardon. Equal Justice my ass. Look to the west coast for an extreme example in comparison to Manafort's possible sentence for the crime of theft. You have this LEFT COAST (former San Fran SJW female judge) giving a free pass (20k bail) to the evil people who kidnapped and was training children to be TERRORISTS in the state of New Mexico. Is our justice system politicized? HELL YES......Lady Justice's blindfold has been removed and pissed on by the fascists of this nation.
The Manafort trial was specifically and singly not about Trump. The judge made that clear. However, he was the head of trumps campaign. So having a crook at the top of your campaign tells something about your judgment and values. Trump is accused of tax dodging and money laundering has been suggested for him too. So the connection is clear.

The money laundering isn't particularly political.
Trying to use his influence with the orange baboon to pay off personal debts makes it political.
I can't hate Manefort too much because he dresses and grooms himself well.
(I can still hate him a little because I'm a real good hater as you've doubtlessly ascertained.)
The fucking orange baboon, for all of his alleged wealth, looks like an unmade bed under a highway overpass.

The false hope that he was going to flip on Trump, spill the beans, etc etc etc
Is this what his case is about?

A small part of it, yes.
Yep...it tells us HE WAS FIRED for REASON. Do you know just how long he was associated with the Trump campaign? A few weeks ( in Apr. May, Jun)...then replaced. Guess how long a foreign agent worked for the Clinton Machine, covertly hidden through Fusion GPS? Yep....If I was going to COLLUDE with a foreign government I would publicly hire that agent to run my campaign.
Which part?
Would you like to see Manafort found guilty of a crime that is not connected to Trump or anything political, just because he had something to do with Trump?
5 months and he ran the campaign. Head of campaign. it was a big job. Do not try and dismiss him as irrelevant. He got Trump through the convention.
This case is about what he did. It is not about Daffy. Manafort will do a lot of time. That may make him ask Mueller for a deal to chop his sentence. Don't know if he can or will. but the fact is Trump was dealing with international crooks on a high level. If Obama was doing that, the Reds wouuld have been shooting off flares to highlight it. Now, no big deal. Obama worked on the same commission with a guy who was a radical and the right painted them like they were cohabitating. This connection is real, not a Palin dumb idea.
I don't care if he gets found guilty. i think he has done a lot of crimes, but rich people don't pay for them. This case was not about Trump. The judge made that clear from the start.
Manafort is charged with 18 counts of tax fraud and financial fraud. Trump is not involved in that. This is Manaforts trial only.

TAX EVASION & MONEY LAUNDERING isn't political, it's a Financial Crime and is called WHITE-COLLAR CRIME
Executives go to Jail every year for this.
Trump just made it political. He said the trial is sad. I guess trials are supposed to be happy. That means something in Trumplestilskin. Not so much in English. He said Manafort is a very good person. A guy with 18 charges of banking and tax fraud is a good person? What is a bad one?oh yeah, people who critize him are bad. That is against America. Trump makes nio sense if you judge what he says by real values. if you judge them from the perspective that anything against Trump is bad, then it oozes out a bit of Trumpian logic., Trump is a bad joke .
