Day after Manafort bond supposedly set, Mueller wants to reconsider

[spotthebird]

Source: Palm Beach Post

New information has a top federal prosecutor reconsidering his support for a proposed bail bond for former Donald Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, which could involve Manafort’s Palm Beach Gardens home.

Robert Mueller’s Office of Special Counsel had supported Manafort’s bond motion Thursday, but asked a judge on Friday for several days to reevaluate. The government wants until Monday “in light of information that has come to the government’s attention only after defendant’s Motion was filed, which the government is still examining,” a lawyer for Mueller wrote.

Huh. I thought it was strange that they were letting him out without electronic tracking, but I supposed he had agreed to cooperate.

This article seems to hint that one of the homes Manafort put up may not be as valuable as Manafort claimed?

1. Poor Mr. Mueller and his over-worked team!! I just picture them furiously running around all

day and all night stamping out brush fires and trying to keep up with this cascade of sewage inundating them TWENTY-FOUR/SEVEN -

- and yes, agreed, bird, this deal sounded a little wonky to me as well...not that I have a clue what the hell's going on, mind you! - but it sounds as if Mr. Mueller is gently applying the brakes here until more is revealed -

Deep breaths, keepin the faith!

8. The only reason I could see for letting him off his ankle trackers

Is Mueller wants to see where he goes.

2. Someone finally must have read the

Property Title and Abstract. The Abstract has the true ownership. Could there be major Clouds on this Property?

3. Or a money laundering mortgage?

Who knows?

[Wellstone ruled]

5. And it takes a State District Court to

Clear any Title or issue a new Title. Been down that road and it could take months to clear any cloud or clouds.

10. A bag of russian filth delivered to the republican laundry?

I'd bet a crate of Dippin Dots on it...

13. Bingo - some extra crimes they had missed, perhaps.

4. Looks like Flynn beat Manafort and got the deal

You know only one guy gets the deal, right? Probably Mueller was playing one against the other to see who would sing first. Now that Flynn gets it, why should Manafort get a chance to fly out of the country? That's what he was planning to do I'm sure of it.

There are too many other places Manafort can go and get protection. He would have gladly forfeited those properties just to get out of trouble. I'll bet Cheeto's promise of a "pardon" doesn't hold much sway now either.

6. Holy shit, Noose - what a post you hath wrought here!! I, of course, never thought Mr. Mueller

might be playing flynn off paulie, wow.

Nope, not a lawyer here. Don't watch crime shows, don't read spy novels, but thanks to YOU, my ignorance in these matters has some what abated!

WOW! thank you!!

[FakeNoose]

9. Oh yeah, like you just joined us

You know what's going on, better than I do. We're having a great day today.

[Leghorn21]

11. Ha ha, no, I been here a while, but still don't comprehend 90% of what's going on!!!

But thanks to posts like yours, I can go "ohhhhhhhh, I get it!!"

Drink up, rock steady, and keep the faith, Noose!!

7. Excellent graphic

Says it all.

12. Why hasn't anyone else picked up this story?

There is "new information" after all.

[mainer]

14. Chatter on Twitter that there's now a Russian contract out on Manafort

Maybe Mueller's thinking about Manafort's safety

[spotthebird]

15. Why would the Russians want to kill Manafort?

Flynn is taking down the house.

[mainer]

16. To shut him up.

But apparently Mueller has all he needs from Manafort (testimony as well as documents), so even if he's a victim of one of Putin's hitmen, it shouldn't hurt Mueller's case.

17. muehler can't use a dead mans testimony...

you can't cross examine him. So I doubt he could introduce it as evidence.

I don't think the stories are true though. The russians wouldn't kill mannafort. They would kidnap someone important to him.

Too much visibility there. At least in this country, it wouldn't look right if he fell off his roof while shoveling snow off.
