As recently as 11/30/17 Manafort was working with a Russian who may have ties to Russian intelligence to violate the Court's gag order and influence American public opinion.

1. Unbelievable. What an idiot.

[TEB]

5. Exactly

How dumb or dumber or really stupid can you be.

[OnDoutside]

6. Or even desperate ? He is so screwed.

2. This is what happens

when the justice system is broken. Some are allowed to do whatever they want and their lawyers make sure they are not the low-hanging fruit that everyone is.

3. What was he smoking? I don't want any!!!! nt

4. Wow. He's a special case, isn't he?

Is he that dumb, or just that arrogant?

[Auggie]

7. House arrest? Bullshit. Put him behind bars.

8. I think he was an honor student in Trump University's course "Advanced Dumbfuckery 101"

9. He will easily forfeit his $11 Million in Property for freedom in Russia

Just like ousted Ukraine Prez Viktor Yanukovych fled to Russia and abandoned his palace. Plus all that money Manafor has in Real estate was corrupt money and he has endless supply.

13. I have said many times the FBI needs to have agents 24-7

making sure the air is let out of the tires of his car ...

14. He may well be forfeiting his freedom on bail in the next few days as well.

10. do these peeps really think they are above the law?

I am sick of them all.

[OliverQ]

12. Yes, because up to this point, they've all gotten away with

every illegal, corrupt thing they've ever done.

11. Attorney: Mr. Manafort, I don't see how you can screw your case up any worse.

Manafort: Hold my beer.
