Revoking Manafort's Bail Has Some Interesting Implications.....

[ChoppinBroccoli]

1. He's Always Had His Speedy Trial Rights.........

...........but going to jail now means that his speedy trial "clock" has sped up. People in jail generally get three-for-one days (meaning one day in jail counts as three days out of jail). So, for example, if you have to be brought to trial within 90 days, a person in jail must be brought to trial within 30 days.

Plus, he can very easily waive his speedy trial rights (but that would normally only happen if his attorney(s) need more time to prepare his defense).

The most important thing is that his time spent behind bars is going to make him seriously rethink his decision not to flip. I would think that if Mueller approached him with a deal that could get him out on house arrest or some other concession, he might jump at it. Being locked up ain't fun, even in the BEST of circumstances. He'd have to hold some serious allegiance to Trump to go through the ordeal of being locked up and STILL not betraying him, and considering the fact that he betrayed his own country for money, I don't think he's that loyal.
