Minutes after Judge Amy Berman Jackson of the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia imposed a 60-month sentence on Donald Trump’s onetime campaign manager Paul Manafort on Wednesday, the Manhattan district attorney’s office added to Manafort’s woes by indicting him in state court.The state indictment charges 16 counts, including mortgage fraud, falsifying business records and a scheme to defraud.Manafort may be relying on the president to issue a pardon. If he is, he should refocus his energies, forget about Trump, and instead rely on his lawyers to challenge this new state indictment based on “double jeopardy” grounds. Unlike the federal pardon, the jeopardy challenge is one he at least has some control over.
Cyrus advertises, look under Craigslist for 'NY Legal Fixer' , cheaper than a lawyer.
