Did anyone else take note that Judge Amy Jackson

[triron]

told Manafort he was in custody (before his sentencing) for his protection?
Hmmm. What does this imply?

1. I believe she meant he has been in solitary confinement for his safety. I might be wrong though.

5. Correct n/t

[leftieNanner]

6. And apparently the "solitary confinement"

is not like we saw in the movies (or if you ever took the tour of Alkatraz). He is in a private VIP section of the prison. And it is interesting that she commented on his safety.

9. With an extra room and a computer and internet access and a TV

Just like Sandra Bland was treated in a Texas jail.

2. The Russians are coming?

3. Trying to protect him

from Trump's goons?

[Princess Turandot]

4. I think she said that he was isolated in prison for his own protection...

She was responding to his apparent whinging about how terrible his prison conditions were.

[Wellstone ruled]

7. Yes she did!!!!

He owes his ass to the Russian and Ukrainian Mafia. And they do not play nice when screwed over.

8. She should have asked him in open court

whether he preferred to be with general population.
