moment moments when the judge takes the bench. 6:16 p.m. on the east coast and issues his fate, his verdict. jason, i want to be very clear about this humiliation. right. that s paul manafort s word. he says he s been humiliated. and i think in our system of crime and punishment the question is when, because clearly it wasn t there when he was first convicted. right. and he continued to fight it and did not take responsibility. and it wasn t when he pled out because, again, since then he has been found to be responsible for having continued to lie to prosecutors in a felonious manner, blowing his own plea deal. if the judge looks at this, isn t it a reasonable question to ask, well, when exactly were you humiliated, given your felonious conduct went all the way through post-conviction? ari, your statement what you you ve read is basically, i felt really bad i got caught. that s it. he s not apologizing for
