Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort formally requested Wednesday that his upcoming trial in D.C. be moved to Roanoke, Virginia, in a court filing that claimed, âNowhere in the country is the bias against Mr. Manafort more apparent than here in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.â
Oh, so they know him.

I am pretty sure folks in Roanoke have tvâs too and saw the kind words shared by the President. So isnât the jury there tainted as well?

Is there anything else you would like, Mr. Manafort, before we say ânoâ? Would you like chocolate truffles on your pillow at night? Maybe a jump suit with an embossed polo player, or your family crest, and gold cuff links.

HIs first choice was Moscow, but Roanoke is a good second choice.
He can always cop a pleaâŚor can he? Perhaps Mueller simply wants to âlock him upâ.
Roanoke VA ? Completely OT, but recorded live in RoanokeâŚ
Manafortâs attorneys know that there is no hope in hell of moving this trial. Theyâre just undermining the legitimacy of a prospective conviction and fueling the crucial pardon-related narrative that Manafort is a victim of unfair prosecution.
