Lessons from Mueller's memo

The news reports have it that Special Counsel Robert Mueller's sentencing memo in the case against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort is 800 pages long.

The sentencing memo has been filed in the case against Manafort pending before Judge Amy Berman Jackson in the Washington, D.C. federal district court.

There is of course another case against Manafort pending before Judge Ellis in federal district court for the Eastern District of Virginia.

The crimes of which Manafort has been convicted have nothing to do with the Trump presidential campaign.

Despite Manafort's multifarious criminal activity, he could still be at large if only he had avoided the Trump campaign.

"For over a decade, Manafort repeatedly and brazenly violated the law. His crimes continued up through the time he was first indicted in October 2017 and remarkably went unabated even after indictment," the memo reads.

"Manafort engaged in witness tampering while on bail and, even after he was caught for engaging in that scheme, Manafort committee the additional crimes of perjury and making false statements after he entered his guilty pleas herein."
