WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. District Court judge on Friday said she would release former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort from house arrest once he meets certain conditions, expressing satisfaction that the $10 million he agreed to forfeit would be available if he ever failed to appear for court proceedings.

Yeah bail is one thing but why should a guy like this have his domestic movements so restricted? Why is he under house arrest?

Because F Trump. Liberals don’t need a reason beyond the fact that someone supported Trump. They’d gladly murder us all in our beds.

Should be an interesting court case, discovery is going to be a bitch for muller. All the evidence is poisonous fruit of the vine.

The knock on the door at midnight.

The fear. The reign of terror.

No. Not Stalinist Russia. Not Nazi Germany. This is the USA in the 21st century.

When will Podesta’s brother be charged with acting as an unregistered foreign agent? Do only Republicans get charged with this offense?

The bacon incident was more than just bacon, the guy smashed a bunch of windows too, lots of damage. Not sure if he left threat notes or such, but it would be interesting to see if the judge who gave him that many years ever gave a similar sentence n a similar case not involving the “protected class” but some other church or synagogue, just to make sure the judge is consistent. In any case he deserved a good thump for the property damage so I will not shed tears for the fool.

The judge is forcing him to sell his houses?! Just give the court the deeds to hold! This isn’t America anymore and our court system is out of control!
Obama laundered money and colluded with the russians but he gets a nobel peace prize.
We all know about the Clintons and the Kennedys.

Another ethically corrupt judge. Well, golly gee whiz. Who’d have thunk it was possible.

What the hell is Manafort going to do? Have all his homes truck-lifted to the Bahamas?

This judge is stupider or meaner than I thought.

Think of it as a second marriage situation, where a Republican marries a Democrat and the Democrat has kids from a previous marriage she won’t discipline. Just because she’s not going to discipline her kids doesn’t mean she’s going to let the step dad do it...no matter how much it needs to be done.

Can’t he appeal this to a sane judge? He’s being treated like a violent monster for pete’s sake.

This judge should be looking for a new line of employment.imho

In Soviet Russia, they would attack their enemies with the twisted science of psychology.

Here in America, the deep state attacks its enemies with the twisted use of law.
