Outrageous.

Trump should send Federal Marshalls to get him out.

And then jail that idiot judge instead.

None of this stops until Trump is removed. Then Pence is next, unless he is a deep-stater.

All the comments on Yahoo News is deriding this decision. It reads just like a Freeper column.

Seems to me we should be impeaching a whole lot of Federal Judges. It takes too long for them to die, and while they’re still on the bench, they can do irreparable harm.

Damn Straight. Go for the Scorched Earth plan. If Trump waffles on this - if he allows Manafort to be the scapegoat - to be thrown under the bus, then he better start packing a toothbrush with him wherever he goes.

Because HE may be next on the arrest list.

So they have done a early morning no-knock armed raid on his personal residence, and now they have put him in jail for questionable obstruction charges? Wow! talk about your two teared justice system. All this while congress sits on it’s hands singing the praises of mueller, the doj and fbi. We have been played folks.

This is what happens when “drain the swamp” was just a campaign lie.

The plan, the actual plan, was for Flynn to be arrested and tried.

Now they are setting up Cohen and Manafort. They’ve been using discovery against the deepstate.

No telling whether 45 wants this to happen or not.

I know this - Cohen’s office being raided was a good thing, and in the context of all the extra-legal crap the FBI is into not an unexpected thing.

Word around the campfire is that raiding Cohen’s office allowed evidence that could not have been introduced in other ways to be introduced, or outright leaked.

Right, because Trump is not doing everything he can to keep his campaign promises. You should be working for the msm, maybe you are.

Judge Amy Berman Jackson’s order marks an end to months of attempts from Manafort to lighten his house arrest restrictions after he was charged and pleaded not guilty to foreign lobbying violations.
