Manafort trial jury deliberations begin today.
18 charges. Maximum sentence of 305 years. How many will he be found guilty of? How long, if he gets one, will his prison sentence be? Place your bets. — Michael

His dealings were known by the FBI years before he worked for Trump. — wellwisher

In November 13, 2009, Jefferson was sentenced to thirteen years in federal prison for bribery after a corruption investigation, the longest sentence ever given to a congressman. He began serving that sentence in May 2012 at a Federal Bureau of Prisons facility in Beaumont, Texas. He appealed his case after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on similar issues. In light of these findings, on October 5, 2017, Jefferson was ordered released, pending sentencing or other action, after a U.S. District judge threw out 7 of 10 charges against him. On December 1, 2017, Judge T. S. Ellis III accepted his plea deal and sentenced Jefferson to time served. — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_J._Jefferson
