ANYTHING to do with the Trump Crime Family coming to a reckoning can’t come soon enough…

“They will die in prison”, as I recall some anonymous intelligence community member commenting.

Good article, but the headline made me think that someone had moved June 15th forward somehow.

The calendar for this coming week is packed.

June 12th - NK Summit (if it happens).

June 14th - (think that’s right date) lame new American political agitation site (Russian? - English def not first language) trying to get rally to “congratulate America” to happen, Maddow covered this group a couple days ago.

June 15th - deadline for Trump and Cohen lawyers to claim any more seized items they think deserve attorney client privilege. Otherwise, the Special Master hands them to the prosecutors.

and now

June 15th - Manafort before judge to try to keep his ass out of immediate incarceration.

“Though his trial doesn’t start for several weeks…”

Several months. His trial starts Sept. 17th. It’s June 7th. Typos are one thing, but brain farts are truly distracting :roll_eyes:

For me, if this doesn’t send Manafort to jail, it’s a clear indication that no one is going. What this guy has done would be heinous in any other environment, before the witness tampering.

There cannot be any other outcome that wouldn’t completely erode my faith in what could happen to the rest of them.

Yep. Paulie Walnuts has a week left to sip his Stoly Cocktails.

After that, he’ll have to learn how to make Toilet Wine to enjoy Happy Hour.

If the judge doesn’t revoke his bail and order him into custody, it will be the first time in 30 years I have seen that happen under these circumstances. One thing you cannot do when out on bail is commit another crime, and witness tampering is a crime.

Can a federal judge legally sentence someone to being tarred and feathered?

Could President Trump be thinking that he can overturn the decision of Judge Jackson to lock Paul up? Maybe he thinks it’s the same situation that Arpaio was in.

Not an attorney, but I don’t think pardons work that way.

No, but he certainly can sentence him to a facility where the inmates would be delighted to give him an asshole warming party…

You just know the French can do it.

There was a Judge down in Citrus County, Florida, where my in-laws live, who sentenced a guy to cut a Chevy Blazer in half…with a hacksaw, after he stole it & totaled it. I don’t remember if he gave a time frame, though.

June 14th is also when the FBI is supposed to turn in info about investigating FBI leaks to Rudy.

Thanks for adding that, another round of distraction.

And the FBI is reporting to Rudy now?

I was wondering when somebody was going to drop a bomb on Rudy’s ass.

‘Look Paul, she likely is going to rule a week from Friday, so you need to get your affairs in order now.’

The judge could have jailed him back when he was negotiating his house arrest terms. He’s needed his affairs to be in order for months.

Just lock him up now.

I view the prospect with glee and do not like the effect the Trump regime has had on my character. Sigh.

Mr. Manafort has TWO upcoming trials. The trial in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, starts July 24, 2018
[“18 charges brought by special counsel Robert Mueller, including tax and bank fraud, in the federal court in the Eastern District of Virginia”].

The trial in federal court in the District of Columbia starts September 17, 2018.
[“The charges in D.C. include conspiracy to launder money, failure to register as a foreign agent and making false statements… Manafort waived his right to have the charges in Virginia brought along with the charges in Washington”].

So much criminality, so little time!!

And they say it’s LIBERAL social policies & their litigation that clog up the courts!
