#9   Whitewater convictions. The Clintons skated again.

Recall that Marc Rich was covicted of tax evasion, racketeering and busting sanctions with Iran (Clinton pardoned him the last day of his presidency).

#2  The very next day after sentencing the President must pardon Manafort based on the fact that this is an unorthodoxed, politicalĺy charged witch hunt.

#1  First imprisonment in the history of the U.S. of a person associated with a duly elected President, unapproved by the leftists, via an investigation based on a nothing burger conspiracy until actual dirt could be found by radicals and the corrupt DC Establishment class.
