Feeling a little heat there, are we, buddy?
Okay, so who’s gonna tell him he can’t pardon Manafort until he’s guilty of something?
ETA: So apparently he can. Perilous times.
“Manafort was taken into custody immediately after the judge’s decision…”
Somebody’s gonna hafta stab me with a Schadenfreude EpiPen if Hillary tweets: “Lock him up!”
At the rate that fuse is burning, there can’t be much left.
Could be a wild weekend ahead …
Keep shitting on the federal judiciary, very stable genius.
Didn’t know Manafort was the head of the Mob.
Neither did we. Please proceed Mr Preznit.
Didn’t know Manafort was the head of the Mob.
Paulie may not get that pardon after all, what with his outshinin’ the Boss again. . .
It isn’t unfair. If Manafort hadn’t tried to tamper with witnesses the judge wouldn’t have jailed him.
Of course, in Trump world anything that creates a problem for him or his people is unfair. Complying with the law is always unfair for our fearless leader.
that would be the ukrainian mob.
@ZHaberman
Rudy, the former mob-buster, on Manafort: “You put a guy in jail if he’s trying to kill witnesses, not just talking to witnesses.”
So in other words, yes, Manafort totally tried to tamper with witnesses, and also it is awesome.
I mean, if we knew him or knew what he was doing. Which obviously we don’t.
That didn’t stop him from previously interfering in the pardon process (Arpaio).

“Fair”
Conviction not required. Ford pardoned Nixon before he was prosecuted.
Those poor poor Oligarchs, being treated so unfairly.
Donny boy, the pleas, the pleas are calling…
I’m not sure about the precise anatomy of that joke but it’s pretty funny regardless.
Well, &^%%$*. Gonna be an interesting weekend.
With which pardon? That’s a bummer.
