Significantly different than any other bank fraud prosecution. that doesn t mean by the same token that judge ellis doesn t have discretion to move it around if they think it s appropriate. there s other sentencing factors besides just simple the loss number. to understand why the sentencing guidelines come out the way they do, charles, you re correct. that s the reason why. charles: gene, you talk about the compassion that could be on display. throughout this trial, we heard about the ostrich clothing and the wardrobe and the spending. those kind of things offended the public on top of the crimes. the lifestyle that was lead here. now does that counter balance that the defendant shows up in a wheelchair? first off, i have to say the judge could conclude that paul ....
This is the actual sentencing memo. see how the black lines are here, this is the redactions that you are talking about. 25 pages. i spoke with our justice producer a little while ago who says there are no major bomb shells today. many expected to find out a specific prison recommendation for paul manafort. there s no specific number mentioned. if memo reads, consistent with the practice, the government does not a take a position with respect to a particular sentence to be imposed. inned stead, the government sets forth its assessment of the nature of the offenses and offender and the applicable advisory sentencing guidelines and sentencing factors. this news about paul manafort comes as an official with the justice department told fox news just yesterday that the special counsel s report will not be released to the justice department this coming week, court documents allege that paul manafort shared polling data with an associate who authorities argue has ties to russian intelligence. ....
