    If this next judge doesn’t max him out or give him a significant sentence to be served consecutively her life might be in danger.

    Evidently both judges agreed. The second judge basically tacked on another three and a half years to his first sentence.

    When the defense lawyer was talking to the press after members of the dem base were calling him a liar by saying the case had no link to Russian "collusion." The judge said that before sentencing.

    That's a rather dishonest interpretation of what the judge had to say.
    Jackson from the bench called the defense’s repeated claims about the lack of collusion with the Russian government “a non-sequitur.” Jackson said such assertions were not persuasive to her, but perhaps were intended for another “audience".

    The question of whether anyone in Trump’s campaign “conspired or colluded with” the Russian government “was not presented in this case,” she said.

    She added that the assertion may not even be accurate because special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s probe is not over and she found that Manafort had lied to investigators about issues at the heart of that inquiry.
    Perhaps you are the "intended audience" to which she referred.

    No it wasn't. If the FBI had evidence it would have been admitted at trial. There is no other interpretation outside of damage control.
