September case there's 4x that evidence being presented.
"Special counsel Robert Mueller has given lawyers for ex-Trump campaign chief Paul Manafort "well over 1000 proposed exhibits," or pieces of evidence, which prosecutors want to show jurors at Manafort's next federal criminal trial in Washington, D.C., a court filing revealed Thursday."

Yep, this was the "we mean business" trial. Now he has been convicted and will be going to jail. There is no longer a question about that. Manafort now has to decide for himself if he is going to gamble on a Trump pardon or if he has something valuable enough that Mueller will make a deal.
