This is at least the second relocation. He was moved from one PA prison to another last month.

So the judge is using Rikers Island as a gulag.

Paul Manafort is the Left’s whipping boy, because they couldn’t get the one they want.

Poor bastard.

Sure sounds like it. Hopefully his team’s appeal will be successful.

He would get put in the medium risk section. He should be fairly safe, as long as he keeps his mouth shut.

the Mueller investigation was a sham. all the evidence points to him having known there was no collusion long ago.

anyone whose life has been destroyed by Mueller should be cleared of all charges and then they should sue him.

Is he being arraigned for a crime in New York City?

More than likely he's being held there while being interviewed as a witness on something else.

And the biggest crook of all, Hillary F. Clinton. 40 plus years of felonies and not one person has the gonads to bring her to justice, absolutely disgusting and pathetic as it gets.

A country where apparently one political party can do whatever they hell they want because the other party hides under their desk and cowers.

“A New York State judge ordered the transfer at the request of New York City District Attorney Cy Vance, Jr. He will be held in solitary confinement for his own protection, the source said. The move is expected to happen as early as Thursday.

Vance, a Democrat, said in March that a New York grand jury charged Manafort with 16 counts including residential mortgage fraud, falsifying business records and other charges. He said at the time that “no one is beyond the law in New York.” Manafort cannot be pardoned by President Trump for state crimes.”

Looks to me to have something to do with his charges in NY State. Since it is mortgage “fraud” probably some trumped (no pun) up charges to make him liable to pressure. Don’t see how the residential mortgage fraud can have anything to do with Trump so this is a side bar attempt to ridicule anyone having anything to do with the President, his friends, or supporters. I note the comment made by Vance about his being beyond the reach of Trump for a pardon. What a POS.

I believe New York state needs a federal lawsuit from the DoJ concerning the inhumane quality of their prisons.

Use the DoJ like Dems do. Of they send a political ally to a rough prison, sue them for having rough prisons. The Feds can easily get NY to spend hundreds of millions if not billions over the “inhumane” conditions at Rikers.

He can’t pardon him for state crimes.

Manafort wasn't convicted "for state crimes."

First sentence of article: "sentenced earlier this year to nearly seven years in prison in connection with two federal cases"

And if you read the whole thing,

“Vance, a Democrat, said in March that a New York grand jury charged Manafort with 16 counts including residential mortgage fraud, falsifying business records and other charges. He said at the time that “no one is beyond the law in New York.” Manafort cannot be pardoned by President Trump for state crimes.”
