Manafort Sent to Jail After Judge Cancels House Arrest

[brooklynite]

Source: Bloomberg

Paul Manafort is heading to jail, ahead of his trials for bank fraud and money laundering, Bloomberg News reports.

A judge in Washington revoked Manafort’s bail Friday after being told by Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s lawyers that Manafort, Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman, attempted to tamper with witnesses for his trial.

Manafort has "abused" the trust placed in him six months ago, the judge said.

1. Lock him up!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

[aquamarina]

3. Let me echo that sentiment

and here's hoping many of his cohorts will soon be joining him.

68. It's a great day in the USA

We needed this!

[olegramps]

13. I wonder who will be his cell mate? Can't help from fantasizing.

Could not have happened to a more deserving guy other than the entirety of Trumps henchmen and women.

[Pluvious]

30. But will they give him some nice throw rugs ?

Those are super important to him.

We don't need to be crewl about it, eh ?!!

[cannabis_flower]

39. Considering that he hasn't been convicted....yet

He will most likely be in county jail in a dorm style room with a bunch of guys.

[denbot]

62. Federal charges, he may very well be in an MDC

Metropolitan Detention Center, a federal facility for those awaiting trial and those with relatively short sentences.

[Zambero]

80. My choice would be Anthony Wiener

The makings of a jail cell reality series. "Odd Couple Inmates" ???

[rurallib]

2. finally - hope he never sees the outside again

[DemoTex]

4. Hallelujah!

[steventh]

33. Hooray for the Roches

This is my all time favorite version of the Hallelujah Chorus. The Roche sisters are truly awesome. Thanks so much for posting it. You made my day!

[DemoTex]

52. RIP Maggie Roche

Margaret Roche, singer and songwriter, born 26 October 1951; died 21 January 2017

5. Whoop! Whoop!

[lastlib]

79. Happy Dance!!

WOOT!! WOOT!! WOOT!!

[bucolic_frolic]

6. Boom!

If you can stomach it read his Wiki bio. Lots of connections there. Not enough focus on his past in the press. Pics with Reagan, Ford, Bush I. Wonder why?

[Sanity Claws]

7. Another great day

Another step toward justice.

[lagomorph777]

8. Woooooooooh! I'll bet that lubricates his lips. Maybe Pruitt can bring him some moisturizer.

[lark]

9. Whoohoo!!

Next up - drumpf and family!! In my best dreams that's what happens.

[duforsure]

10. Both he and Cohen will soon be flipped ,

if not already.

[jpak]

11. Lock Him Up!

Lock Him Up!

Lock Him Up!

Lock Him Up!

Lock Him Up!

[MGKrebs]

12. Perp walk!!

[PearliePoo2]

14. Manafort was immediately escorted by guards out the back, guards then returned and..

handed his wife his wallet and belt!

I'm betting this puke will never see daylight again!

[brooklynite]

17. I'm guessing he was wearing loafers, or they would have confiscated his shoestrings...

[PearliePoo2]

20. Yeah, good point! His lawyers probably told him, "Wear your loafers just in case", so he

picked out the $2,000 Italian pair that matched his $10,000 suit!

Say goodbye to those fancy threads Paul!

[Moostache]

58. Hey now...he clearly has a fondness of orange colored things in his past...

He may grow to appreciate those jumpsuits he gets for free now!

[forgotmylogin]

75. Wonder if he actually brought a toothbrush?

Although, I would almost suspect they'd confiscate that as well since it can be whittled into a shiv.

[world wide wally]

35. I hope they let Trump keep his belt.

[Moostache]

59. I hope that they would offer him two...he needs more weight support to snap properly (n/t)

[sprinkleeninow]

71. "Dum da dum dum, DUM!"

sprink, stop yer gloatin'.

Heheheh.

I said stoppit!

Hiya, Pearlie!

Have a good one.

💙🇺🇸🌊
out the frauds, criminals and orange Anti-American in the OO!

[LiberalFighter]

73. It was interesting watching his wife and daughter walk out.

Media never showed them when Manafort left the car to enter the building.

[iluvtennis]

15. woohoo, woohoo, woohoo. It's about time that rich white collar criminals get treated like

poor/underrepresented folks do.

Will his children be removed from him and sent to detention pending his trial?

18. Hope he likes the fine cuisine

[backscatter712]

36. They should feed him nothing but nutraloaf.

[George II]

19. Stupid man! They think nothing will ever happen to them. Too bad there weren't....

....cameras in the court room. Would have loved to see them slap the handcuffs on him.

[FakeNoose]

69. Awesome gif!

[BeyondGeography]

21. Summertime in the pokey

Lovely.

[we can do it]

22. Lock them all up

[Solly Mack]

23. Good. More, please.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

24. Let him get a taste of what the rest of his life will be like if he is found guilty.

Also, I'm sure he's paying close attention to how Trump and his allies are treating Michael Cohen. The balancing act becomes, (1) cooperate with Mueller, and work out a plea deal without jail time, or (2) face two federal trials and if you're found guilty, hope that Donald Trump has your back and pardons you. And we all know how loyalty works in Trump World -- all loyalty flows to Trump, with none flowing the other way.

[Gothmog]

25. This is appropriate

[NastyRiffraff]

26. No perp walk?

Well, we can't have everything. Good news, though!

[catbyte]

27. ...

[IMG][/IMG]

[duforsure]

28. I think trump and others will also be charged

With witness tampering, which carries a 20 year sentence. Mueller is making a statement, and he'll have hell unleashed on him if he now fires him, or pardons Manafort. Waiting for trump now to attack the judge and the justice system because it didn't serve him what he wanted and bow down to him . Manafort knows in jail he could be in great danger unless confined, and he'll flip. trump will flood the airwaves along with his minions trying to change this news cycle.They're criminals ,very corrupt criminals, and either they escape justice and are above the rule of law, or they have to face the same justice system as everyone else does, which is what they're desperately trying to do now.

[peekaloo]

29. Can we reuse that Bible verse from yesterday?

p.s. is there a bible thumpin' smilie?

[Dopers_Greed]

31. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

This news is going to be what gets me through this weekend:

Going to a bachelor party with a bunch of Chump supporters

[CountAllVotes]

32. Damned spies

Lock them ALL up!!!

[watoos]

34. I hope

he took someone's advice and brought his tooth brush.

[bullwinkle428]

37. DU pool as to when the pardon comes down.

I say Monday.

[SWBTATTReg]

43. Way too early...can't pardon for a crime not yet convicted of, I think. However, ...

I think M will plea to a lesser charge, in exchange for helping prosecutors (fed. and / or state), to which pres. pardons don't apply to state crimes.

What is interesting is that these guys are being offered pleas (and taking them for most part) by Mueller, who has some ultimate goal in mind, which we don't know of yet (there is a long term goal here), otherwise, why offer pleas?

Something else is out there, basically (to which I think we all know).

[Lulu KC]

44. can there be a pardon before a conviction?

Learning so much legal stuff this year!

[mobeau69]

57. Yep.

Ford pardoned Nixon for crimes he "committed or may have committed" within in a time frame he specified.

[Lulu KC]

78. Oh, right

Thanks. Lost in the filing cabinet of time.

[grantcart]

45. I say September 1st

If he gets a pardon he can no longer invoke his right to not incriminate himself and must tell everything and if he lies goes back to jail.

Pardons have their own set of problems. Trump wants to give the illusion that he will give pardons but doesn't want to actually use them because the recipient has no reason to shut up.

[Bromwell]

38. Does he go to regular jail or witch jail?

[beachbum bob]

40. Great...let's have a couple month delay on trial so he can get

used to prison life and his new "friends"

[IronLionZion]

41. So will Trump claim it's fake news, pardon him, or deny ever knowing him?

Or claim this is all somehow Hillary's fault

[LiberalLovinLug]

60. I think Trump is chomping at the bit to start pardoning his cohorts. No doubt it is in the plans.

The question is will he be able to resist waiting until Manafort is actually convicted first or just do in now to avoid jail for his partner in crime at all.

The real unanswered question is how many of Trump's deplorables will continue to follow him once he starts. How many will cheer him on as fighting the REAL corruption in the FBI and the evil Deep State.

But either way, I think just the act of being sent to jail may just wake up a few on the fringes of Trumpland. Whether Donnie steps in to free him or not. Those who have been hearing ad nauseum about "witchhunt' and "they have nothing". It won't get the die hard zombies that think the whole justice department is working for some deep state Democratic controlled secret society, but a jail sentence will be seen as a significant step to some.

[axm]

46. A good start

Now lock up Trump, his criminal family and all of his criminal cohorts!

LOCK THEM UP!!!!

[LisaM]

47. And for what, really? From what I can glean, this is all because he has expensive tastes.

Houses, rugs, paintings, that kind of stuff. I haven't delved deeply into who he is, but from what I can tell, he has spent heavily on multiple homes and luxury items.

I like nice things, too, but I live within my means.

[BigmanPigman]

67. When he was unable to get his foreign money his daughters

said, "I wonder why Daddy is so cheap lately?".

[mobeau69]

48. No Title

Bahahahahahahahaha(breath)hahahahahahahahaha...

[Toorich]

49. Fear and Loathing in Trumpville.....

.....Bengazi.....emails.......Obama=Kenyan......Bbbbuttt Bill blowjob....
Come on Rudy say something....BWAaaaahaahahahaha....
I can remember watching Dan Rather when the screws tightened down on that rat-bastard Nixon.
It is starting to feel the same now. But they need to nail Pence too. And every bastard that took Russian money.
And that would be a decent start to the Purge.
Oh yeah, I think it's fish sticks and pinto beans Friday in the Tombs. Plastic tray and plastic spoon. Manafort will love the correctional cusine.

[CountAllVotes]

53. +1

[blue-wave]

50. Let me add to the echo here

LOCK 'EM UP!!!! All of them!!!


?version=0

[FlyByNight]

51. This is wonderful

Lock. Him. Up.

[C Moon]

54. How do Trumpanzees defend this? He's caught attempting to tamper with witnesses on his case...

that is a crime, and is a sign of guilt.

[forgotmylogin]

76. My favorite response on Twitter was a #maga-er

who breathlessly wondered, "Why don't the Democrats seem to care about taking Manafort away from his children?"

...Um...because Manafort is like 67 and has two adult daughters who both are or have been married. They're white and rich and are likely not going to be subject to zero-tolerance policies. I think they'll be all right.

[C Moon]

81. That idiot just admitted he believes Manafort is a criminal; because they believe immigrants are.

I'm sure they believe Trump is a filthy criminal, but they just don't give a damn if criminals run our country—so long as they're racists.

[UpInArms]

55. That news warms the cockles of my heart

[EarthFirst]

56. I'll bet you it's under better circumstances than the children in Brownsville; Texas...

I’ll guarantee you he isn’t inside a chainlink fence.

[7962]

61. I'd bet its NOT. I don't think they're playing around with these guys.

[CaptainTruth]

63. YAYYYYYYY!!!!!

I'll be having an extra craft beer or two tonight to celebrate!

[Scurrilous]

64. K&R

[BigDemVoter]

65. Oh this just made my DAY!

[paleotn]

66. Get use to it, Paul

You'll be enjoying that "view" for quite some time. We'll see if it's worse than the threat of polonium tea.

[bluestarone]

70. Be ready for some state chargers because RUMP

Will surely pardon this asshole!!!!!!!!!!!!! One down and maybe 100 to go!!!! TY Judge!!!!!!!!!!!! TY Mueller!!!

[SergeStorms]

72. HaHaHa......

that doesn't help in your defense of the indictments against you either, numbnuts. Typical Republican though, and it's about time these typical Republicans started paying the price for their lawlessness.

[briv1016]

74. So how long does he have to live?

Putin's not going to risk him cracking, and it's a lot easier to get to him on the inside.

[chaplain_M]

77. Bail $ forfeited?

Does this mean Manafort forfeits his $11 million bail deposit?
