Sources close to Trump legal team tell @ABC they're "stunned" by Manafort bail decision. No response yet from the President's attorneys on today's development.

1. Then the trump legal team are idiots

This action is both appropriate and expected

[CanonRay]

12. This

Are they the only ones who are surprised? Maybe Manafort is, I sure hope so. 'bout time he saw the inside of a cell.

2. They're currently brainstorming what Rudy's most batshit counterproductive statement will be. nt

[GusBob]

8. Blaming both Clintons and/or both Obamas

[Sanity Claws]

3. Then they must be stupider than I thought

He was tampering with witnesses. Of course, he had to go to jail.

You are right. They were probably not stunned but scared shitless. (Interesting how scared shitless and shitting their pants both basically mean the same thing.)

10. Both are caused by having the shit scared out of you.

[berni_mccoy]

4. His Legal Team is DUMB AF then.

[blugbox]

5. The guy got to stay in a mansion as "punishment"

And he couldn't even do that without multiple infractions of his bail conditions...

Is he desperate or just fucking stupid?

[angrychair]

6. The judge is part of the "deep state"

THEY. ARE. EVERY. WHERE.

Watching me.

Telling lies.

Everyone is out to get me!!!

Catcher in the Rye.

Black helicopters everywhere!!

7. Was that the sounds of their jaws dropping to the floor?

[Leghorn21]

9. Well, they might want to get used to being STUNNED, eh??

Also, one must wonder, is Mickey Cohen feeling just a tad STUNNED this fine morning??

WHASSSUP, COHEN

11. CORRECTION: Trump* and his family are stunned by he Manafort bail decision...

...seasoned, competent attorneys would know that when you are out on bail, you are on your best behavior, and to try and tamper with a witness is the kiss of legal death.

Trump* and his family are still operating under the very false assumption that they can flagrantly violate the law and still walk away unscathed. The "stunner" is that they are starting to realize their illegal actions WILL HAVE legal ramifications.

Trump*s attorneys "are stunned" is drama queen legal posturing at it's finest.

[nolabear]

13. Oh please. They're SHOCKED, I tell you! SHOCKED!

Uh-huh. Trying to sway public opinion.

LOCK HIM UP. And I don't mean Manafort.

[dalton99a]

14. Yeah, no one could have seen it coming

[Laxman]

15. How In The World Can They Be Stunned.....

that his behavior ended with his bail revoked? This is the equivalent of gang members sending out the word that "snitches get stitches" to intimidate witnesses not to testify.

[NastyRiffraff]

16. This was expected by literally everyone

who has followed the Manafort saga at all. They're morons. Or, of course, they're lying. Or both. Probably both.

[RhodeIslandOne]

17. I thought he had "nothing to do with them"?

[Mike Nelson]

18. Huh...

… there have been many lawyers on the news shows, mostly predicting this... makes me wonder where The Donald's lawyers went to law school...

[procon]

19. If his lawyers are "stunned" by the obvious, Trump's in big trouble.

Maybe they were watching too much Fox TV.
