Jeanine Pirro officially breaks the irony meter.

Fox News’ Judge Jeanine Pirro suggested Tuesday that onetime Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort’s solitary confinement in federal prison is a form of mistreatment — and also claimed there are prisoners alongside him who are in the clink for lying to Congress.

“He’s 70 years old, in solitary confinement 23 hours a day,” Pirro told Fox Business’ Lou Dobbs, “while all of the other bozos are walking around, we’ve seen them actually commit crimes like lying to Congress.”



The Fox News personality didn’t expand on the claim that Manafort is jailed alongside people convicted of perjuring themselves in front of Congress. She also didn’t note the apparent amenities that accompanied his “solitary confinement” — and why he was placed there to begin with.

There are thousands of poor people confined simply because they couldn't make bail.

Manafort got a sweet bail deal, then blew it because he is incapable of avoiding corruption.

If an alleged criminal with ties to Trump is incarcerated and afforded protection pending trial and sentencing, well that is simply INTOLERABLE! However, if he was deliberately exposed the the general prison population 24/7, that would be more HUMANE!

Your rich benefactors have built enough private prisons to house all the treason weasels.

Oh, the irony! Maybe the rich dudes will end up being incarcerated in their own investments.

before he went to jail. He was "connected".

She should be the last one talking.
