About time...When cruds like Avenatti get released...and rapists and murderers...it only seems fair.

I agree. I have a sneaking suspicion that most of these convicts released for fear of the wee beasties were released due to pull or due to money. At least this benefits this poor man.

I'm glad to see this happen.

It's even sweeter using the prison Covid-19 excuse to do it.

How is Manafort’s mental capacity after so much time in solitary? Is he completely washed? A babbling fruitcake? 100% sane?

If I ever get convicted of a crime can I put in for my lockdown time to be considered as “time served”?
