Manafort's lawyer wrote in a letter to the federal Bureau of Prisons that the 71-year-old is at "high-risk" and requested he be transferred to home confinement to serve the remainder of his more than seven year sentence, Politico reported.

The prison where Manafort is being held, FCI Loretto, currently has no cases of coronavirus, according to CNN, but his lawyer noted in his letter that it's only a matter of time.

As of Tuesday morning, the Bureau of Prisons had yet to respond to the request, one of Manafort's lawyers confirmed to CNN.

Who didn't see this coming. Far as I'm concerned the mpfo shoult ROT in prison. If he wasn't a traitorous POS, he wouldn't be in there. 🤬

1. He should have thought of that before breaking the law.

Maybe if he'd actually cooperated, but no. No breaks for this wretched crook.

4. 1,000% Agree!

Fk him. Rot traitor! I don't care if every single person he interacts with is infected. NO early release! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

5. If it wasn't for people like Manafort we wouldn't be going through this C-19 hellscape.

Fuck him. In a just world he could share his cell w/Donny, Don Jr. Paul Stone, Bannon,
Pascale, and others.

13. Stay put! You have full medical care.

Stay put! You have full medical care.

14. He gets to stay with all the other criminals. Maybe Trump will send him some quinine and zinc.

[crickets]

15. By that logic, a lot of the other prisoners would get to go home too.

Sit tight, buddy. You aren't going anywhere.

16. Queue the Trump pressure via the Justice Dept

17. After seeing what Avenatti's restriction rules are, I'd rather stay in jail

One small infraction and the judge could add time onto the sentence.

18. You bought your ticket Paul - - now STFU and stay on the ride.

[tavernier]

19. Odd that rump hasn't pardoned him.

Is he taking a little sadistic pleasure?

[nolabear]

20. Hell, I would.

I want the guy to do his time but I’d I was him? Damn skippy I’d try it.

[safeinOhio]

21. Give him solitary and a gallon of bleach.

He will be just fine.
