significant possibility that manafort was going to be sent to jail. and certainly by the time they finished with the argument section, which lasted maybe a little bit over an hour to an hour and a half, we saw the fbi agents conferring out in the hall in what seemed to me to be them making some preparations for what was going to come next for mr. manafort. i don't think they knew exactly, but i think they had a sense of what was coming. so certainly very tense. it was the most packed courtroom i've seen there for any manafort hearing since his arraignment last october. and the judge gave sort of a head fake when it was time to give the ruling. she suggested maybe that she was maybe going to give him one more chance, but eventually said she couldn't trust manafort. there had simply been too much a history of him seeming to skirt her orders and another judge's orders, and she just didn't think she could trust him to abide by whatever conditions she may impose.
