Discussion: Judge Appears Ready To Release Manafort From House Arrest

PS You simply have to see the documentary, “Get Me Roger Stone.” Manafort is an important interviewee and the movie shows a lot about their playbook and their rationalizations.

“…Bail guarantors — his wife and his daughter.”?

Manafort couldn’t pony up the money but his wife and daughter can.
Where’d they get the moolah?

I’m puzzled by this. Manafort appears to be a very high flight risk. Keeping him under home arrest seems like a prudent, and frankly generous, decision as opposed to putting him in a jail cell while awaiting trial.

What am I missing?

Now he’s free to roam, and the FBI is free to follow him galore as he makes his rounds. It is not going to be fun for him or any of the places or people he visits. I rather like it.

No doubt the profit magins of the local gambling shacks have plummeted

They wrung him out. He flipped on everybody–most immediately, Jared.

So he’s going to be restricted to South Florida?

Not sure that’s much of an upgrade.

True, but he can see Cuba from his house.

I’m hoping for Poloniun Flu.

Manafort’s attorneys had initially asked that he be allowed to travel freely between Florida, the D.C. area and New York, citing his need to earn a living.

Can’t he just continue destroying Western democracy over the internet like everybody else?

Rumors floating around say Jared will be taken down tomorrow. Let’s hope so.

Well, then, I suggest that we have the Senate arrest him.

No, I think you mean Ukrainian hryvnia. Out of house arrest and into the welcoming arms of Neo Nazi Ukrainian Fascist he’ll go…

I feel like you answered your own question. They think the rules don’t apply to them because they’ve lived their entire lives with ridiculous wealth, which effectively exempts them from many rules and limitations that “normal” people deal with. Wealth is almost directly equivalent to freedom in the US. The more you got, the more you get to do.

Depending on which FBI office is responsible, I foresee a moment of “who could have imagined he would get in a speedboat?”

In the world, rather. It isn’t just here.

Why do you think people want money? It’s not for the money itself - it’s because it is freedom.

US judicial system with Trump judges = white crime pays for the white nationalists and bro-Nazis.

Manafort, Popodopolous, Flynn, Kirshner. Steel, Gates and the rest of the Putin neo-Nazi team in the US have nothing to fear as long as Trump & Pence are in power and able to pardon anyone important to Mueller.

Trump is proving America’s Demoxratic form of government is broken and a relic of the past. Our Democracy, voting system, and Constitution are obsolete - Trump has proven the US system is a failed system and the world will start turning back to communism. Trump broke the US system…get ready for years of instability. China and Russia will have many opportunities thanks to Trump.
