Because judge amy berman jackson said so today in court. and this is a quote from her. the no-collusion refrain that runs through the entire defense memorandum is unrelated to matters at hand. the no-collusion mantra is simply a non sequitur, and if that's not clear enough, okay? and it really should be. there is this. the no-collusion mantra is also not accurate because the investigation is still going on. is that clear enough for you? so the judge told everybody in the courtroom the case has nothing to do with collusion, nothing at all. and she pointedly said, court is one of those places wh...

A free man. he's going to have to go and answer to those charges. >> manafort's attorney kevin downing, claimed that the judge could see there was no evidence of russian collusion. that's just not true and a flat out lie. the judge never rule on that issue. in fact, she said the no collusion claim, and this is a quote from her, is a non sequitur. why does he keep bringing it up? >> there's someone who wants to hear there's no collusion, and that's the man who has the power to keep paul manafort from spending his 70s in prison, so i think that might explain this one. >> short concise answer. th...

Counsel's corpsman date of the investigation. allegations that the trump campaign colluded with the russian government to influence the 2016 election. the judge says, quote, it is hard to understand why an attorney would write that. that sentence, like the others, has no citation following it because not one of the judges involved stated at the time they imposed sentence that they considered that to be a factor in their sentencing decisions. the no collusion mantra the judge says is simply a non sequitur that does not bear on the question of the appropriate sentence, and it is not clear whethe...

Judge says is simply a non sequitur that does not bear on the question of the appropriate sentence, and it is not clear whether it's even accurate since the investigation is as yet unfinished and no report has been issued. it's also not particularly persuasive to argue that an investigation hasn't found anything when you lied to the investigators. so that was judge amy berman jackson today. the judge saying explicitly right before she sentenced paul manafort, look, i wasn't asked to look at russian collusion in this case, so you guys are bringing it up not for me, and this repeated -- what she...
