Paul Manafort appears in court in a wheelchair. Attorney Kevin Downing says "there are significant issues with Mr. Manafort's health right now that have to do with his confinement." Wants him sentenced as soon as possible so he can be moved.

1. How convenient for him.

[meadowlark5]

6. If he gives Mueller the goods on the Trump mafia family and other thugs that leads to prison

Then he should get a nice cell with a big screen, a refrigerator and snack bar. If the info he has gets rid of that that thieving trump clan, he should get a nice cell as a reward.

2. Yes! Sentence him right away, please.

Send him to his new assisted living facility with bars. Let him rot there. Sounds like a plan.

[SHRED]

3. Yeah...I believe that

[NightWatcher]

4. Its the longest he's ever gone without golf and martinis and his body is breaking down.

I've seen prison weaken a bunch of people, usually it in as few months however.

[LeftInTX]

5. What happened to the guy who looked like Marcello Mastroianni?

Funny how in prison they go from movie star to cripple.....in a matter of months.

[RockRaven]

7. I totally believe him that he's got health issues related to his confinement... he's so trustworthy,

how could I not?

[Talitha]

28. Oh, that's cold... I LOVE IT!!!!

[bluestarone]

8. Screw, cheat, steal, lie, coverup!

Then want sympathy???? NOT GONNA HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rusty fender]

9. Thoughts and prayers

[CharleyDog]

10. Perhaps Dumbo will have sympathy for

the poor poor man and given him a pardon. Any minute now.

[Grasswire2]

11. spill yer guts and you might be heard

Look what Cohen is doing. Trying to save his skin, too.

[bullwinkle428]

12. What? He didn't close his eyes and pretend to be blind like Cosby?

[Takket]

13. Oh fuck off manafraud...

[Solly Mack]

14. Snort

15. He's suffering from Donwaana Bheer

[scheming daemons]

16. As soon as he's done singing, he can have his sentencing.

[gratuitous]

17. A page out of the Mafia Don playbook

As soon as the indictments came down, all these formerly hale and hearty goodfellas suddenly showed up at court appearances with walkers, wheelchairs, oxygen masks, and IV set-ups, along with a heart-rending tale of failing health and frail constitution. Sallow complexion, slack-jawed uncomprehending faces, and wracking coughs were now the image of these devoted fathers and grandfathers ripped from the loving bosom of their families. Mercy, your honor, mercy!

[dalton99a]

19. Yep.

[dixiegrrrrl]

24. It wa so common that most of us can recall seeing the pics of them in the news

Pretty sure the judge is seeing thru it.

[MrsCoffee]

18. Yeah, I hear afluenza is really harsh this year.

[dalton99a]

20. Obviously a severe case of bone spurs

[FreeRunning]

21. too bad, so sad...

maybe he shouldn't break the law.

[Power 2 the People]

22. Significant issues with his health due to his confinement

The prison doesn't serve caviar and truffles. Oh the horror!

[mercuryblues]

23. I guess

when you are used to living the life of Reilly, getting tossed in a jail cell does take its toll on you. From the finest silks and rarest wines to jailhouse scrubs and wine made in a plastic bag from fruit cocktail, bread, sugar, and yeast.

From being a kingmaker to taking a shit in front of other people weighs heavy on a person's soul. So much so that when to full impact of what you've done, you don't have the strenght to stand.

or

He is faking for sympathy. I going with faking

[riverwalker]

25. Sounds like gout

I don’t know what else would be “diet related” and effects your feet, other than diabetes but it doesn’t sound like that’s what it is.

[underpants]

26. I have gout

Didn't know I had it until I broke my leg. Have to watch your diet or suffer The recovery

[riverwalker]

27. It used to be called "the rich mans disease". n/t

[Talitha]

29. So if he didn't have gout before, but has it now....

From what I understand, gout is considered a 'rich man's disease'.
Prison food can hardly be considered that, so...

If it IS gout, then he's been eating MUCH better than everyone else in the big house.

Either that, or he's faking things to get sympathy.

Whaaaa, whaaaaa, whaaaa! WHAT A BABY!!!
