Special counsel Robert Mueller has abruptly reversed course on a bail agreement his office struck with Paul Manafort's legal team last week that would have allowed him to be released from GPS monitoring.
Manafort evidently failed to tell the government that he was ghost-writing a draft op-ed about his work in Ukraine as late as November 30. He was working on it with "a longtime Russian colleague" who is "assessed to have ties to Russian intelligence," according to the special counsel's court filing.
That colleague was likely Konstantin Kilimnik, a Russian-Ukrainian citizen and longtime protege of Manafort who he had used as a liaison to Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska during the campaign.
The government said that the court had initially "admonished" Manafort's lawyer for making public statements to the press about the case and on November 8 had barred both "the parties and counsel from making statements that could interfere with" a fair trial.

In his place I wouldn’t even pet a Russian Blue cat.
Liers lie
Something else for the MSM-Democrats to go nonlinear over.
Mueller needs to be investigated.
Swift action of clemency for these political prisoners must occur from the President. Mueller must be fired and this charade immediately stopped . It has gone berserk
Or use Russian Dressing.
withdraw the PLEA!!!!!!!
My takeaway impression is that Mueller had better come up with something soon. So far, he is an embarrassment and he has exposed the FBI to charges of playing politics. The public is not amused. As surprising as this lack of amusement is, it may actually give Trump the moral power to put a stop to this farce without any political fallout. I think the only thing protecting Mueller is the fallout that might happen if he is fired. (Actually, I think criminal charges should be filed against Mueller.)
So now the Progressives have started doing the exact thing that they have spent the last 70 years falsely accusing Joe McCarthy of doing.
Or watch Rocky and Bullwinkle.
And drink only Bourbon.
We don’t have a WH pet for this administration yet. Trump needs to get a Russian Blue cat.
BLAST! Business Insider has an drop ad blocker banner up to read the article.
What is Mueller doing, or not doing exactly?
His "not guilty" plea?
Hope he didn't violate the Harvard comma rule.
Trump’s supporters would love to see him fire Mueller. The problem is the rinos in office who are itching to start impeachment proceedings.
If there is a gag order who leaked this?
If someone asked me what I had for lunch yesterday, half the time I wouldn’t have an answer.
I eat something different every day, and my lunch just isn’t that big a deal to me.
If that time were extended to two, three, or four days, there’s no way I’d be able to say unless I went out to a restaurant. Then I would remember.
Today I was addressing when I started going for the throat of a candidate for last year’s primary. I gave an approximation, but I could have been off.
I’d imagine some of these people who supposedly lie to the FBI, aren’t really trying to be untruthful. They just don’t remember things clearly.
Now granted, they have a schedule to refer to, and perhaps they should be more accurate, but I’m remain unconvinced they are trying to manipulate the questioners.
Almost every person that testifies must get a few things wrong.
Is this really what we should be going after people for?
These investigations are very expensive. You have to have top-rank attorneys to defend yourself.
The goal seems to be to bankrupt as many people close to Trump as possible. In effect, they are ruined financially while being completely innocent.
The Left knows this. They’re doing their best to discourage anyone on the right from entering government service.
At some point, some judge along the way should come up with this on their own, and demand a stop to it.
