How is it possible he didn’t have this ready and waiting. is he really so arrogant and delusional that he didn’t see an imminent indictment? Because even my dog knew this was about to happen.

Downing left the firm he had worked for, Miller & Chevalier, two weeks after taking on Manafort as a client.

Maybe he sucks at it.

How nice for him that he can “negotiate” the terms of his bail.

Everybody else gets a judge who spends 60 seconds making the determination.

“Yer Honor, it took my client years - YEARS - to set up these schemes. Now you want to give him only a week in his comfortable, reasonably heated home, with its soft beds and stocked refrigerators, to come up with the money to be able to leave? How is that justice?”

Clearly he is talking to his former SSR contacts for funding. I say, no bail. If he gets out he will disappear or be eliminated as so many others have been.
