Manafort’s lawyers have asked the court, and were granted permission, to redact those two people’s identities
Trump: You know thats me, dont you. I have over $100billion and I WILL pardon him anyway.
He’ll be gone to Russia soon enough.
I would not want to be those people. Because a lot more is going to come out before trial. (And remember, a pardon at this point would be the equivalent of a flip. Manafort could be compelled to act as a witness.)
More fodder for Trump’s delusion that this “Meuller Thing” will wrap up by the end of the year, and will exonerate Trump in the process.
Heh. It isn’t the point, but the timing is almost like a slow boiling troll of the WH - and the main man who increasingly seems in need of a straight jacket.
No bail is generally not the standard for the types of crimes that Manafort was indicted for, so this isn’t surprising. But I doubt this would’ve happened without some back and forth between attorneys about gestures of good will for a cooperation and perhaps a plea.
Chiselin’ Trump: “I’m very strong on pardons. Nobody is as strong as me on pardons.”
Rushin’ to Russian soil.
Or, is it Rushin’ to Russians’ oil?
I have difficulty believing that he won’t run to Russia, regardless of bail conditions. The choice may be giving up your life but keeping your money, or keeping your money but giving up your life. Plus, if he jumps bail, he doesn’t have to risk being snuffed before he can talk.
If I were the judge, I would deny the bail deal. But that’s just me.
I hope he tries to bolt …
I’m sure there will be an extra set …or two … of eyes on him…
Like a cherry on top —
Can’t deny it’s a risk and I doubt the Trump gov’t would lift a finger to get him back, but I think he’s a hot potato for a lot of countries right now. I know Ukraine would love to get a crack at him.
So what?
Talk to me when Manafort reaches a plea deal.
And she will have the final say, regardless of any deal between the prosecutor and the accused. So far, Trump and his cronies have not fully succeeded in poisoning the judiciary, but they’re working on it.
“Manafort has offered Mueller as bail four of his real estate properties in New York, Virginia, and Floridia”
Just one question…where is Floridia?
Next to Georga?
Trump, Stone, Manafort and Hannity can celebrate Manafort’s newfound freedom over dinner tonight.
He is entitled to bail as long as they collect his passports.
He has more in an airport locker in Miami.
With T***p’s history of throwing people under the bus, I wouldn’t count on a pardon. Pardoning Manafort may seem a self-preserving thing for T***p to do, but he has not shown much intelligence in that area.
