Paul Manafort, the former Trump campaign chairman, runs a significant risk of spending the rest of his life in prison and the evidence against him by special counsel Robert Mueller’s office seems strong, a federal judge declared in an order made public on Tuesday.

U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III, who is based in Alexandria, Virginia, and is assigned to a newly filed indictment against Manafort dealing with bank fraud and tax evasion, said the veteran lobbyist and political consultant posed “a substantial risk of flight” because of his assets and the gravity of his legal predicament.

“The defendant is a person of great wealth who has the financial means and international connections to flee and remain at large, as well as every incentive to do so,” Ellis wrote in an order setting the terms of what the judge called “home incarceration” for Manafort, 68, who lives in Alexandria but also has homes in Florida and on Long Island.

“Given the nature of the charges against the defendant and the apparent weight of the evidence against him, defendant faces the very real possibility of spending the rest of his life in prison,” wrote Ellis, an appointee of President Ronald Reagan.

He is 68, so 20 years should do the trick. Although he would likely go to a prison country club. Closer it gets, the more likely he will turn on Trump.
 
Manafart would flip on his own grandmother before he spends his life in prison.
Mueller is on the job.

Trump sure seems to surrounds himself, and hire, a lot of criminals.

Not mine. Bannons. You know he is as right as you are, don't you? Trump put the Russian banker as head of commerce. Ross was the president of Cyprus bank that was the Russian oligarchs money laundering bank, I don't know if trump will be convicted of anything. Neither do you. Not fantasies. There is plenty to start with. Lets fix it all. Trump can release his taxes. Can you guess why he did not?
 
well obviously if there wasn't any evidence he would not be taken down.......the fantasy is that there is actually evidence.......

Should not....criminals be placed into jail cells? Question? What crime has Mr. Trump been accused of, indicted and convicted of? Logically speaking...."IF" this criminal that has been under FBI investigation for years before he had a cup of coffee in the TRUMP campaign and was FIRED.....had any evidence to deal with against TRUMP....would he be facing life in prison right now? ;)
