1. OMG!

...

2. He's convicted of something. Bond Violations. Big ones.

Judge convicted him and revoked his pre-trial bond. Another lie.

3. No, he was not convicted of anything. The judge found he had violated his release agreement.

The country is full of people locked up pre-trial because they can’t make bail. Trump doesn’t seem concerned about any of them.

4. And convicted him of same...revoked his bond. And lodged him. Semantics.

When you agree to a pre-trial Agreement, You give the Judge that option, in return for not sitting in jail pending trial.
Release Agreement=Bond Conditions.

5. But he's new at this!

Oh. Jury tampering? Probably not.

6. Trump does not think tax fraud

Is a crime. nothings a crime as long as him and his people do it.

7. Lock him up

[Sherman A1]

8. That was my first thought

When I heard of his “charming” little Twitter rant. I would have wished that the judge would have issued a cease and desist ruling to Mr Trump but I guess I was hoping for too much.

9. Prosecution should motion for mistrial

And next trial sequster the jury.

Personally, and I hate to "say" this outloud, but I think manifort is going to walk on this one. Am SO hoping to be wrong.
