Klobuchar: Manafort sentence shows 'two systems of justice'
By Tal Axelrod - 03/07/19 08:09 PM EST

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), a 2020 presidential candidate, slammed the sentencing of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort on Thursday for what she said appeared to be a double-standard.

Klobuchar, a former prosecutor for Minnesota’s most populous county, suggested Manafort’s crimes were significant and his sentence was not treated "as seriously as crimes committed on a street corner."

“My view on Manafort sentence: Guidelines there for a reason. His crimes took place over years and he led far from a 'blameless life,'" Klobuchar tweeted.

"Crimes committed in an office building should be treated as seriously as crimes committed on a street corner. Can’t have two systems of justice!” she added.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

That's because Manafort's lawyers opted to move tax evasion charges to VA and not make a motion to consolidate the case. Bad move.
