80 years in prison. Ouch.

Manafort was found guilty of five tax fraud charges, one charge of hiding foreign bank accounts and two counts of bank fraud. He faces a maximum of 80 years in prison.

Interesting tidbit:

There was also one other person in court Tuesday who has been a Trump fixation. Imran Awan, the former House IT staffer whom the president has referred to as the “Pakistani mystery man” and turned into a target for conservative conspiracy theorists, was also in court for sentencing.

He was sentenced to time served and three months of supervised release in DC federal court for lying on a bank loan application.

The judge in the case, Judge Tanya Chutkan, criticized the “unbelievable onslaught of scurrilous media attacks” and “baseless accusations” that were “lobbed” “from the highest branches of government” on Awan, and defended the lenient punishment. Awan had “suffered sufficiently,” she said. Although the charges against Awan came out of an investigation related to an alleged theft of House IT equipment, they were not related to his government work for former DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

Manafort had been cleared of these charges 10 years ago so no point charging him again. PR stunt and it has nothing to do with Russia.

Why Trump is suddenly talking about impeachment?

Because he knows it will never clear the present Senate.
