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The big picture: Manafort's bail was revoked by a judge, and his legal team is currently appealing that decision arguing that being imprisoned in such a manner at a facility two hours away from his legal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.

“They don’t do permanent solitary confinement even to murderers.”
They did it to Bradley Manning. No one batted an eye.
“I would rather be alone-——provided I had lots of reading material.”
Really, I’d stroke out from stress otherwise.
Mueller and his corrupt bunch can all rot. .
It is, but the Federal courts say it isn’t.
Bright flourescent lights on 24/7, thin pallet, and cold.
From Wikipedia ...
"Gestapo Mueller remains the most senior figure of the Nazi regime who was never captured or confirmed to have died."
He looks good for his age ...
Mueller can use Torture ?
While Paul Manafort is not my favorite person, and while he may have done a few things wrong (and even criminal), there has been no determination of that in a court of law as of yet. As such, the treatment that he is suffering is cruel and unusual, IMHO. He is nothing less than a political prisoner, something that we’re not supposed to have in this country.
Oh, and if the charges against Manafort are found to have come about because of an investigation that itself was started in violation of the law, all charges should be thrown out - WITH prejudice - and his legal fees reimbursed by the federal government.
Can’t he commute?
He could commute a preliminary solitary confinement order.
Welcome to the Gulag.
Never doubt, this is what the democrats want to happen to Trump, All Trump’s staff, and everyone that voted for Trump.
As the liberals say, “Cruel, but not unusual.”
But he was suicidal. They do it to all suicidal inmates during their suicidal phases.
Midnight raid at home with guns drawn, now in solitary in the Big House, without any trial.
I guess that’s life as a republican these days when the Rats are in charge of the “Justice” Dept.
Save your hate for Rosenstein.
Good questions.
Now that this is public information, let’s see what Pirro has to say about it. She tends to conveniently omit some of the most egregious offenses by the ruling class.
C’mon Jeanine, step up to the plate...
This is an outrage! This man is being squeezed by a very powerful unelected “policeman,” whose game plan is to deny the American people their vote and a voice in our election.
Despicable. And even more despicable is the lack of outrage from the Republican party!
“Paging the ACLU.....
Paging Kim Kardashian...”
Don’t expect a response, Manafort is white.
They aught to have him sharing a cell with Tommy Robinson.
Remember, the legal jeopardy that Manafort is in stems from his business relations with the Podestas. The Podestas are free, walking the streets.
