Paul Manafort is currently holed up in solitary confinement at a Manhattan prison and hes expected to remain at the lockup as his mortgage-fraud case plays out, his lawyer and the Department of Justice said Tuesday.
The presidents former campaign manager was recently transferred to the Metropolitan Correctional Center to await arraignment on state crimes.
My expectation is he wont remain there [in solitary]. For a couple days when youre being processed, they keep you in solitary, Manaforts lawyer Todd Blanche told The Post on Tuesday. Im hopeful the MCC will have a location for him thats not solitary.
Manafort, 70, is currently serving a more than seven-year sentence on federal tax fraud, bank fraud and other charges stemming from Special Counsel Robert Muellers Russia investigation.

“”Irregardless””
That’s a NO NO!
“”Trump needs to talk out loud about the absurd, cruelty of this sentence. Most people (except for lib politicians) will have a heart for this.””
I agree...There are a lot of mundane scribblings he is quite vocal about. There are many more that need to be front and center for the whole country to see!
My favorite pet peeve is salaries paid to anyone in congress who is campaigning for president! Time off to campaign and they still get a full paycheck. There are rules about pay being docked for absences from work either in the House or the Senate and as far as I can tell nothing is ever done about it because no one complains. That’s obviously because the country doesn’t know about it. What would the MSM make of it if he made an issue of it? There are issues that only HE can bring to the forefront and get the attention and action they need.
This solitary confinement is for the birds and totally unnecessary. Everyone needs to remember that everything these scoundrels are doing to people connected to the president could make the same thing happen to any of us. We have learned an important lesson in the past two years - after many years of believing in fairness from our government - it doesn’t exist anymore and will probably not ever exist again.
The MCC is a jail, not a prison.
And Jesse Smellit walks as a free man!
Yeah except Trump can’t pardon him for any of the “crimes” the State of New York prosecutes.
Don’t know about solitary. I’ve seen prisoners screaming at the walls after a couple days.
I know.
And Avanatti still tweets from home with a bag of donuts.
Why in god’s name is he in solitary? This is pure Stasi police state crap. Nothing he has done deserves long term brutalization like that.
Mueller on the left. Tom Ridge in the middle. Don’t recognize the one on the right.
They exempted themselves from Obamacare and insider trading. We let them get away with it. They are indeed the ruling class.
Critters write the laws and exempt themselves.
Bingo - it’s legal.
Hes in NYC precisely because NY wants him to die in prison. Hes facing state charges that the President cant pardon him for. Theyre the same crimes hes already been convicted of - and will likely leave him beyond bars for life.
Different state.
Cruel and unusual punishment. Few care on either side.
Tom DeLay. Scooter Libby. Trump just upped the ante.
I do not care what crimes Manafort may have committed. What has been done to him are graver crimes by those with the power to destroy anyone.
