America should be proud of itself. We are the biggest baddest banana republic in the world.
With our own political prisoners.
Sounds like something that would go on in the USSR back in the day. Or maybe they would just off him.
Beam me up now, Scotty.
Sigh. We are like all the other banana republics.
Amy Berman Jackson needs to go down as part of this, too. She’s an Obama operative.
I think most FReepers knew this, but it is devastating to read.
Another reason they are doing it is to isolate Trump, make anyone who supports him, anyone who works for him afraid that the same thing could happen to them..
Right out of Alinsky.
What can We The People do to show our outrage over this third-world banana republic outrage headed up by Mulehead??
What can the President and/or the Attorney General do to override the Bureau of Prisons and US Marshalls to fix this situation?
I’m pretty sure that Trump, as President, can have Mannafort moved to a military base prison (for his safety, mainly from Mueller and his gang of thugs).
Anyone want to comment?
What the Brits are doing to Tommy Robinson comes to mind. The question is, can Manafort sue Mueller for this treatment?
Good post.
My assemblyman in Albany, Danny O’Donnell, has been fighting the misuse of solitary, especially for young inmates, who are more mentally affected by the situation. This piece points out, correctly, that there are good arguments against most of the reasons prisoners are kept in solitary. It is used as a punishment.
And here we have the worst misuse of solitary as punishment: as an aid in the treasonous vendetta against an elected president.
If Manafort was suborning witnesses, that is of course reprehensible but it can be prevented by any number of other means.
One problem is the prison guards’ union, which fights any reform in this direction. I guess they claim it makes their job harder and puts them at risk. To this I say, Tough donuts. Don’t walk in the parade and say “We Do It for You” and then become the 21st Century Nazis.
Obama appointee.
Warsaw.
The beatings will continue until he signs the papers, even if all his fingers are broken.
Compare that to the Maryland illegal alien who got a $280 traffic ticket for killing two Law Enforcement Officers and you get an idea of why most Americans have such contempt for our justice system.
Manaforts imprisonment on solitary confinement is a breach of Human Rights, and unjsutified in these circumstances. what we are seeing is liberal fascism attempting to suborn perjury aaginst PDJT for impeachment purposes.

> Why Manafort Was Put in Solitary
Because liberals would have been in a bind if he had started waterboarding Manafort. Would it be ok to cheer? Or could that lead to waterboarding less despicable people like ISIS terrorists? /sarc
Trump should highlight the cruelty and onerous, heavy-handedness of this situation and threaten that if Manifort isn’t released from solitary, he will outright pardon him.
Watch the left and the media squirm after that tweet...
Is there one sane person in the DOJ?
