Paul Manafort Kept in Solitary Confinement for 23 Hours a Day
Axios ^ | 7/6/2018 | Michael Sykes

Newly released court documents explain that President Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort is being kept in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day ahead of his July 25 trial, citing that his safety cannot be guaranteed otherwise while in prison.

The big picture: Manafort's bail was revoked by a judge, and his legal team is currently appealing that decision arguing that being imprisoned in such a manner at a facility two hours away from his legal team is hampering his ability to defend himself. Manafort has been indicted on charges including money laundering and bank fraud.

Why? Isn’t that cruel and unusual punishment?

Gee, where are the pols and legal professions on the treatment and railroading of this guy?

I would rather be alone-——provided I had lots of reading material.

Sounds like BS to me. Why would his safety be at risk?

They don’t do permanent solitary confinement even to murderers.

This is some form of torture, and the President should stop it.

Most murderers are treated better by our “justice” system.

A thing I've been reminding my "moral" liberal friends: they're crowing about a fellow thrown into solitary confinement 23 hours a day without a trial. Without a trial.

Before he was relocated, he was accused of repeatedly contacting potential witnesses in an effort to sway their testimonies.

Something of the sort - one of Mueller's team raced over to the judge with an accusation (also never tried) which was excuse enough. It will have been four months by the time Manafort's second trial begins. Four months in solitary confinement without a trial. And all the little SJW's are squealing with delight.

We’re well into Kafka territory. Obviously Obergruppenfuhrer Mueller has unlimited power.

Thanks, Jeffus!

The President has no jurisdiction here. He can only pardon. And then it is only people convicted of Federal crimes.

Paul Manafort, the world’s only illegal human being.

In solitary confinement having been convicted of no crime simply because he worked for trump for 3 months.

Unreal.

Mueller needs to be in that cell for the rest of his life.
