manafort is a danger to the community. they said that he was carrying out a sustained campaign over five weeks to try to coach witnesses, to try to mold witnesses, telling them certain things that he was charged with were essentially not true. the defense attorneys argued strongly. they said that revoking bail was a very harsh penalty. they said that manafort was really reaching out to people that he had no idea were going to be witnesses. they argued that the solution was for the judge and for the government to say exactly who are witnesses and who manafort was not supposed to be in touch with. it turns out that one of the witnesses that paul manafort was talking to in the last few months, he came forward to the government, to the fbi, and said that what he felt was being done was to encourage perjury and to encourage lying to the government, and that s why the judge took the action that she did today, john. a remarkable step.
