"I cannot turn a blind eye to these allegations ... You have abused the trust placed in you six months ago," Jackson said.

Jackson denied a request by Manafort's lawyer to put her order on hold to give the defense an opportunity to appeal her decision, a request that special counsel prosecutor Greg Andres opposed. Jackson said she was concerned that in light of her order, Manafort's risk of flight had just "multiplied."

Jackson rejected a request by Manafort's lawyer to consider imposing a clearer "no contact" order covering his communications going forward in lieu of incarceration, arguing he had "largely" been in compliance with her pretrial release conditions until now.

"This is not middle school. I can't take his cell phone," Jackson said.

1. Russian & Corruption crackdown

Is paying off for Mueller again. More great dividends getting to the bottom of things from Robert Mueller being the special prosecutor. No wonder crazy rudy is saying end this investigation now. They're scared shxtless. He's coming for them. They know they're guilty and he will know everything they've done, if not already.
