1. Pardon and/or a one way flight

I trust the FBI is watching him?

[gratuitous]

16. At the time of his previous bail hearing

As I recall, when Manafort pinky-swore to the judge that he'd be a good boy until his trial, the judge kindly requested that Manafort turn over his passport, just a gesture of good faith. Manafort wound up turning over not one, not two, but three passports.

I hope they got all of them.

Curious behavior by Manafort, though. He has to know he's under some pretty heavy surveillance, but there's apparently something out there that frightens him more than the prospect of losing all his money and being sent to the slammer for the rest of his days. I wonder if polonium is involved?

2. Apparently no rush.

3. That's too far away

He could be gone by then.

[Lee-Lee]

7. You can be sure he will he watched 24/7 between now and then.

4. nail that fucking asshole

5. Get thee to the greatest page

6. Why are they waiting till June 15?

8. We could use a few perp walking vids for this string

Some summer fun!

[ooky]

10. My favorite

the one the guy comes up behind him with the "traitor" sign.

[Leghorn21]

12. Yes, I hope he makes an appearance as well, ooky!!

[ooky]

13. Ha ha

[ooky]

9. That should give him plenty of time to run

to Russia. This court has really gone the extra mile to accomodate this traitor. Ridiculous.

[Leghorn21]

11. Yeah, I don't cotton to this ten-day-wait idea, not one bit. OTOH, I need to remember that the

reason Manafort’s even UP for bail revocation is because of some communications he made...IN FEBRUARY?!? Mr. Mueller & Co., I trust, know what the hell they’re doing, and I shall keep the faith!!

Also on June 15:

Awesome same day all the Cohen evidence is turned over to prosecutors! June 15th
is going to be one heck of a day for Trump's crimes!

14. I think it's worth pointing out that at the federal level 10 days is like a lightning bolt!

And the 15th is also a Friday, in addition to being Michael Cohen's big day as well. Trumpy will be scooting his ass across the carpet like a fat nervous dog with a bad case of worms.

17. Oh toast, I know nothing, so I happily and gratefully believe you. I know that *all things

considered* - AND IT’S A SHITLOAD OF *THINGS* - this investigation is breaking every land speed record known to man!!!

Thanks much!!

[thewhollytoast]

18. Right back at ya!

When you lose a group in the forest it still requires consensus to get them to turn around. If this investigation moves too fast it will be sold by the GOP to the deplorable's that it is not justice, but rather merely a partisan decapitation of their beloved leader.

15. God damned judges!

I'M SO FUCKING SICK OF THESE DELAYS!

Fascism is taking over and these assholes are taking their sweet time! And this is just for the hearing! The judgment will come even later!

19. The most inept crooks in the history of the world.

Honestly, they all ought to be wearing white patent-leather loafers, $10 blazers, aqua velva, and trying like hell to sell used Ford LTDs on the used car lot on Saturday afternoons.

And yet 30% of Americans, AMERICANS, worship these fools.

[sarcasmo]

20. Fingers crossed for Paulie Walnuts in cuffs.
