20. *laughing* Just what I said in another, similar thread.

I'm hoping that he's going to start feeling a real squeeze now and be nudged a little closer to dropping a dime.

3. I wonder if this is directly related to Trump's freakout this past week.

Then again, Trump already had plenty of other reasons given all his crimes...

Washington: President Donald Trump's former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, who has been indicted by US Special Counsel Robert Mueller, attempted to tamper with potential witnesses, Mueller said in a court filing on Monday.

Mueller, who is investigating possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, asked the judge overseeing the case in US District Court for the District of Columbia to revoke or revise an order releasing Manafort ahead of his trial.

23. Manafort Is Manafucked! Don't Know About you, But I Hate the Thought ...

.. this poor guy in a cell. I was thinking about starting Go Fuck You site for him, so he'd know we were thinking of him!

[Honeycombe8]

25. Unbelievable. Bail should be revoked. Lock him up. nt

[Grammy23]

26. Is this guy really THAT stupid to think he would not get caught??

Or just that arrogant to think he’d get away with it??

[mucifer]

27. He used an encrypted program because you know the FBI has know way to hack into that

Such an idiot.

[ooky]

28. NO to revise, YES to REVOKE.

Time to stop playing games with the bail for this clown. LOCK HIM UP.

[Wwcd]

29. If Trump pardons him Manafort WILL THEN be compelled to answer every

single question, under oath, about Trump & the crime syndicate that interfered in the 2016 election, and that alone indicts a whole bunch of other people.

Trump's pardon would remove Manafort's option of taking the 5th.

He implicates the entire organization, or sits in prison.

I'm no chess player but insn't that pretty close to a checkmate?

In court documents, prosecutors working for the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, said that violated the terms of Mr. Manafort’s release while he awaits trial. They asked a federal judge to revise those terms or send him to jail until trial.

Prosecutors said that Mr. Manafort tried to contact witnesses by phone, through an intermediary and through an encrypted messaging program. One witness told the F.B.I. that Mr. Manafort was trying to “suborn perjury,” prosecutors said. Two witnesses provided the texts to the F.B.I., which also searched Mr. Manafort’s cloud-based Apple account, according to court records.

...........................................

Prosecutors provided the judge a summary of contacts that they said were made from February to April, while Mr. Manafort was under house arrest on a $10 million bond.

31. Fox News must be going crazy right now...

...covering car chases.

32. No sweetheart plea deal

All along I've thought he was going to get a sweetheart 7ish year plea deal but I think that's out the window now. As good as the special counsel's office is, I bet he's committed 10 crimes for each one they have caught him in. Could be going away for life.
