Some mysterious owners in Washington State were willing to put up their property for Manafort's

bail, according to May 18 court papers. His own property didn't have enough equity to meet the required bail terms.

I wonder who the owners of the property in Renton, Washington, were.

Manafort Bail Nearly Set With Addition of Mystery Property

May 18, 2018 BRITAIN EAKIN

WASHINGTON (CN) – Nearly seven months after his criminal indictment, former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort has yet to gather the $10 million in assets needed to ease his house arrest.

Paul Manafort accompanied by his lawyer Kevin Downing, right, arrives at U.S. Federal Court, in Washington, on Nov. 2, 2017. Manafort, President Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman, pleaded not guilty to felony charges of conspiracy against the United States and other counts.

But that could soon change. On Friday U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson ordered prosecutors to say by May 25 whether a property in Renton, Washington can be posted as part of Manafort’s bond package. If so, he could finally make bail.

Manafort filed his most recent motion to modify his bail conditions under seal on May 9, saying that the filing contained sensitive and personal financial information. But a response from prosecutors on Thursday expresses no objections to the posting of the Washington state property, pending an interview with the owners.

The filing does not identify the owners or say why they offered to post the property.

4. Not all of Paul's old pals have deserted him . . . yet

That's so sweet and touching. Unless the owner of the property turns out to be Polonium Partners LLC or something like that.

5. Renton? WTF?

6. Renton has its own small airport RNT where there is almost no scrutiny.
