They can’t guaranty his safety while in jail?

He’ll be offered a deal to get easy treatment on the real charges if he’ll lie about the charges they’re cooking up on Trump. Standard procedure for crooked cops.

I once had a cop tell me “You’re guilty if I say you’re guilty.”

In a literal sense Manafort is being tortured for a confession, false or otherwise, and anyone who doesn't think 23 hours a day in an 8x10 cell is torture is welcome to try it for a few months and get back to me. He has also been repeatedly threatened that he'll spend the rest of his life in there. All of this without a trial.

For those curious, Trump can't commute a sentence that the accused hasn't received, and a pardon before the trial, artfully delayed by Mueller's team, is an instant charge of Obstruction of Justice against Trump. Those stories are already written and ready to be filed. The anti-Trump media think this is funny.

It's a good example of just exactly what treatment any of us is likely to receive at the hands of our own government, with our political enemies cheering them on. Anyone who still can complain that politics is no longer "civil" probably hasn't been paying attention.

You need to add they do this to intimidate anyone else thinking about helping someone else challenge the establishment.

At least Trump is President, which was helpful to Scoter Libby unlike the prior Republican President who was fond of reaching across the aisle and not criticizing Democrats.

Torture. And we’re trying to kill/imprison Assange, too.

Sick.

Manafort should announce that he is now a Muslim.
That will leave Mueller between a rock and a hard place.

This is a real live reenactment of Kafka’s THE TRIAL and at least Josef K. did sort of get a trial; though in a kangaroo court.

WHY are we citizens letting mueller do all he’s done for all this time.. paying his lawyers, letting him run amuck... and trying to make this man squeal on the President... sessions and congress are doing nothing ..

cut off funds, Trump could stop it... but for his own reasons, he has let them keep draining from our country...
I voted for Trump’s swift solutions and actions .. so why is he dragging on this? Gowdy said to hurry up and shut this down,.. so then mueller adds on and digs deeper into nothingness.

All the while doing this to Manafort....
Don’t tell me there is nothing can be done with mueller. Right and wrong is not hard to find in all this mess!!! I hate it when wrongs win the stratedgy and right lets it happen.

Why? Isn’t that cruel and unusual punishment?


Only applies to a democrat. We have a two tier injustice here.

Guilty until proven innocent but still guilty.

Who is he being kept safe from? Mueller?

Mueller is trying to break him. Hope he sues the crap out of them.

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

And theres the key.

Until these criminal leftists, Hillary, obama, etc... are PROSECUTED AND THROWN IN PRISON, they and their ilk will continue to do this crap to innocent “opponents”.

You either cut the head off the snake or it will keep on biting you.

Yet the right just WILL NOT cut the head off the snake...

That was the tactic that destroyed New York City. They increased the number of City Council members for “better minority representation.” The beginning of the end.

How about slime ball sessions???
How about Trump gets off the Pocahontas tweets and gets the doj straightened out?
He has the power...use it!
So frustrated.

Me, too.
Frankly, his “well, I said I’d stay away from the Justice Department . . . but maybe I’ll have to go in and do something” line is getting old.

At what point, Mr. President, as you actually going to pick up a shovel and remove some of those human garbage that act like a cancer in our Government? Political prisoners in America? WTF? For “repeatedly contacting potential witnesses” — WTF? And what’s THAT mean, anyone Manafort’s ever known who Mueller might decide is a “potential witness?” This thing stinks to high heaven and President Trump needs to do something about it because obviously these people are just going to continue being little brown-shirt thugs because NO ONE is standing in their way - particularly that useless !@(#* Sessions.

“It’s a good example of just exactly what treatment any of us is likely to receive at the hands of our own government, with our political enemies cheering them on.”

GREAT point.

Today, its Manafort.

Trump can only hold office for a maximum of 6 more years.

Once he is gone, if we dont have another fighter like him, we can expect this sort of hell-fire rainstorm upon us. Sooner or later, itll be we conservative citizens.

The left EXTERMINATES their enemies. The right forever tries appeasement and throwing hands in the air.

Ultimately, “Judge” Ellis has proved to be a coward. Anyone who allows a targeted defendant to undergo torture is unworthy of wearing a black robe. Disgusting man who knows better, this Ellis.

And he’s being separated from the “loving arms” of his “loving family”. Mueller is a “rasis” Nazi!!!
