Hmmmm… Multi-millionaire with lots of offshore accounts and Russian connections, facing what would amount to a life sentence. Nope, no flight risk there.

House arrest?? People get jailed for far less.
He should be in prison until his attorney starts being honest with the judge.

“Wu, Gates’ attorney, clarified that he had a pending passport application and a passport card,”

Yes, I’ll bet he did!

Don’t know why he’d bother. His Russian handlers can certainly supply a usable passport.

Manafort has a fool named Kevin for a lawyer? Maybe he should just represent himself.

I would much prefer this. It has a Wizard of Oz symmetry to it about dealing with evil…

How does one get more than one passport? When I was a fed, we could get a diplomatic passport when traveling, but had to turn it back in after the trip. ( a passport card comes w/ passport for and extra fee–I have have one myself)

( So he just forgot to turn in the card? ) I was wondering that, too. Usually when you are getting a renewal passport, don’t you send the old one in? Does Gates have any other citizenship?

There are diplomatic passports, and then there are also official passports for people traveling on government business but not diplomats. Those I know people used to be able to keep at home. But you don’t really apply for them, they’re issued by your place of work. (My dad had an interesting experience that way when traveling to west berlin during the cold war; he didn’t want to use his personal passport because he had been born in germany and the east germans didn’t really recognize change of citizenship, but he didn’t want to use his official passport because the east germans insisted on stamping passports at the border even though the highways to berlin were ostensible free transit zones. good times.)

To paraphrase Mr. Garrison of South Park; We treat rich people better because they’re better people. Duh.

And they want to be free to mosey around, here and there, this identity and that.

You realize they’re shooting innocent black men in the street, don’t you?

“People are saying” he was just a volunteer for the trump campaign so I am certain this will be cleared up in short order. He will soon be reunited with his numerous passports and ‘carefully’ selected clients. Just a misunderstanding. " Believe me."
