Martin Longman has a very comprehensive yet concise description of the judges actions at trial, and how Manafort was anything but a guy "leading a respectable life" at his blog, Booman Tribune.

The sentence is a joke. It confirms that there is a two-tiered legal system. Minority clients and poor clients receive much stiffer sentences.

Imagine if Manafort hadn't fucked around with witness tampering in the Va. case, leading, one might surmise, to some trivial delay in the proceedings, thus resulting in the present (unfavorable) sentencing sequence.
A mere two week shift in the timetables could have put Ellis second after Berman-Jackson. Then the most Manafort would face would be two concurrent ten year sentences less nine months served, and Ellis would look like a schtarker, to boot!
