We in the Bachelor encourage Cy Vance to appeal his case against Paul Manofort to the New York State Supreme Court, after being rejected at the appellate level on supposedly double jeopardy grounds.  Here's one question Mr. Vance can make before the courts: is it really double jeopardy to try Manofort again if Trump pardons Manofort at the federal level?  Here's why we think it isn't.  The appellate court made their rejection based *only* what they see on paper in the present, and didn't try to explore the case in the event of a pardon.  What they'd say for their side is that a pardon is supposedly hypothetical, while at the same time acknowledging how Trump is going to be pardoning hardened criminals.  That's the appellate court struggling with cognitive dissonance, and approaching the case from as narrow a view possible, also not accounting for the millions of dollars wrongly charged to the taxpayer as yet unrecouped.  We also see the appellate court as failing to make the case that Manofort facing the optics of double jeopardy is an unfair precedent for example for a poor young man from the inner city seeking justice, since the latter does not have anywhere near the legal resources as Manofort does.  Cy Vance has to make sure the courts don't deal him with O.J. type rulings, because that would certainly damage the country.  And it's doubtful to us that the courts would ever regret making such a ruling.  So if Manofort, and Roger Stone and Michael Flynn ever achieve their lifelong dream of a get-out-of-jail-free-card, we in the Bachelor request that BLM petitions Manofort/Stone/Flynn to have a sit-down with the families of George Floyd and Brianna Taylor so those guys can appreciate how the rest of the country can only struggle for the justice they so easily achieve.  It's just not going to be over if the court cases are over, since there will still be law-and-justice anger in the country long after the Trump era.
