Paul Manafort’s lawyers are arguing that the former Trump campaign chairman shouldn’t have to face a “politically-charged” prosecution in New York state because of the state’s so-called double jeopardy law.
The ambiguous outcome of Manafort’s federal trial last year is the key issue in the dispute over the new state charges against Manafort. By signing up you agree to receive email newsletters or alerts from POLITICO. You can unsubscribe at any time. Normally, a defendant could be retried following a mistrial caused by a hung jury, but Manafort’s lawyers handling the New York case say any federal prosecution that goes to trial — even if it results in a hung jury — triggers the state’s law against double jeopardy and forbids a state prosecution for the same offense.
Poor Paul such a sucker
For... For his politically charged crimes....?
You could give him to us.
DemocracyJourno Well boo hoo!!!!!
We shouldn’t have to have trump as president, either. Suck it up.
😜🤪
Probably on anti anxiety drugs or something. I think I see a slight smile there. Or he’s just happy to be anywhere that is out of jail.
Somebody please tell Manafort he looks better with gray hair.
What's up with these federal agents? They all look like mutants or something, what are they giving these people? Peter Strzok's behavior during his testimony is a great example...
I wish someone would wipe that smug look off Manafort’s face. He looks like he’s going to get away with his crimes in this photo.
He needs to get over it.....thats life!
Oooohhhhh, not gonna fly.
The irony he infiltrated a political campaign to do all his crimes with other political operatives. This is laughable.
Career felons can rot in a cell for all I care
Innrdreams Fuxk him
How does he still have money?!? Why wasn't he R.I.C.O'd
Just imagine if he had learned how to convert to PDF...
Boofuckinghoo, Paul. Boofuckinghoo.
He looks ten years younger, prison is the 'new spa.'
I am going to be sick 🤢 just reading this..
Dude is the best-preserved 70 year old this side of Richard Gere.
Looking for a pardon.
I’m pretty sure that’s not how he’s looking in jail currently
Boo hoo 😭 cry more Manifort
1. State charges != federal charges. SCOTUS just ruled on this. 2. Didn't NY just pass legislation nullifying its existing double jeopardy laws?
Damn! He's never looked better! Prison agrees with him.
At no time does he have that come to Jesus moment that maybe, just maybe he shouldn't have been a scumbag. What a shame Chuckles Colson isn't still around to help him with that.
Arriadna Too late to try and obey any laws scrub.
'so-called double jeopardy'? Really 'so-called'?
To his credit, his hair looks a lot better than that whack dye job. The rest of his life... not so much.
Too bad, traitor PaulManafort
Paul Manafort’s lawyers are arguing he shouldn’t have to face a “politically-charged” prosecution in New York because of the state’s so-called ‘I Lost On Jeopardy’ law.
