Manafort suffering depression, anxiety, gout in jail: lawyers

Jailed former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort is suffering from depression, anxiety and “severe gout” while behind bars, his lawyers say in new court filings.

Manafort is being kept in solitary confinement “to ensure his safety” but the conditions “have taken a toll on his physical and mental health,” his attorneys wrote in a document made public Tuesday.

“As just one example, for several months Mr. Manafort has suffered from severe gout, at times confining him to a wheelchair,” they write.

“He also suffers from depression and anxiety and, due to the facility’s visitation regulations, has had very little contact with his family.”

Once known as the “disease of kings” or “rich man’s disease,” gout is a form of arthritis that causes joints to swell — and can be triggered by a diet high in red meats or shellfish, drinking too much booze and sugary soda, as well as crash dieting or dehydration, according to the Arthritis Foundation.

While Manafort is no choir boy, what is being done to him by Mueller and our supposed legal system is third world crap.

Sue that little bitch, Mueller. Everyone knows this whole thing is political. The commie ‘RATS going after anyone who supports the president.

Lesson #1, if you don’t rat out your boss - or tell the lies for TPTB, be prepared to be treated as an Enemy of the State.

Lesson #2 - DO NOY become an enemy of the State.

Mueller should be in prison a million times more than Manafort.

Manafort didn’t manufacture crimes to remove an elected President.

Why are we allowing this?

I wonder if they have been “Dieseling him”

The deep state tends to do that people they have a grudge against, should be considered cruel and inhuman torture, but we only protect violent criminals from that, not political prisoners.

They’ll be doing it to all Nationalists and Christians if the political elite get their way before long.

Back in the 1990’s when Peter and Paul LaLonde were making movies about the Tribulation period, the Christians were always referred to as “the haters”.

I wouldn’t have agreed with everything they way they did it but I think they got that part correct. I’d say the MSM is fully on-board with that. I was just chatting with Slyfox about Alton Brown. Slyfox noted a Wiki entry about him.

Gout is very very painful.

Mueller is disgusting, plain and simple. If he had a conscience.... well, obviously he doesn’t.

You’ll have to tell me about Alton Brown - PM me if you wish.
Given his personality and where he works, my view of him might be skewed.

Gout is very very painful.

Some attacks can be like: standing barefoot next to a fire, getting hit in the foot with a sledge hammer ,when maximum pain sets in, having your foot put into the fire.

Manafort needs colchicine, followed by allopurinol. - Tom

Amen!

I defend the Constitutional Rights of all American citizens, including assumed criminals.

Manafoet, Caputo, Papadopoulos, Cohen, all have been violated by lawfare.

Apple cider vinegar diluted in water. Raising systemic pH would dissolve the crystals, which migrate to the toes in response to gravity.

I always thought he was a gay lib.
Apparently I was wrong...

“Brown is an avid gun enthusiast. He owns an FN SCAR, a Browning Hi-Power, various Kimbers, and an HK P30”

“Brown is a Christian. He says,

I’m not a spooky snake handler because I live in Georgia and I’m Christian… that I believe in the Bible, that I travel with the Bible, that I read the Bible every day. I’m still me. I’m still a guy doing a job. I find, actually, that people ask me a lot about it. I don’t hit people over the head with the Bible ... I still feel a funny little tinge in my stomach when I’m out to dinner with my wife and daughter in New York. We’ll go to dinner and we’ll be sitting around the table and we’ll say grace. You know what? People are going to stare at you. I used to feel really self-conscious. But I’ve gotten to a point where I think, nah, I’m not going to feel bad about that. I’m not going to apologize about that.”
