The judge in Paul Manafort's Virginia trial for financial crimes sentenced him last night to 47 months in prison - substantially less time than the sentencing guidelines that could have held him behind bars for up to 24 years. Judge Ellis also proclaimed that Manafort (who spent years defrauding the government and representing foreign dictators) led an "otherwise blameless life." MOMocrats Aliza Worthington and Donna Schwartz Mills discuss that, the reported rift in the House Democratic Caucus over remarks made this week by freshman Representative Ilhan Omar - and this week's scandals out of the White House. Politics from a progressive point of view, produced by Engender Media Group.
