her, did not impose any additional considerations today. i amti a little bit surprised, t it s a tough issue and maybe she thought i it best to let it go knowing that l he knows he s on zero tolerance plan at the moment. t p zero tolerance plan is r, joyce, this is going to be a heck of a test. november 5thf is the trial dat. that means this guy who obviously has no problem speaking to any camera he sees will have to muzzle it for the course of tenit months. is it possible he can try and get the attention of the president? it s hard to imagine roger stone making it through evening another week. but barbin is exactly right her. from a practical point of view, judgeom jackson handled this exactly right. it may not be what people wanted but her goal is to make sure that if he is convicted, it won t be i reversed on appeal. taking too strong an action against him here could have given him something he could have argued that it impeded his trial preparation. so the long game here is the
lot. i mean, he s almost 70 years old. he is already in jail for witness tampering during the course of the trial preparation, staring at potentially as many as 300 years in federal prison. it s not going take a lot for him to be staring down a life sentence if this trial begins to go poorly. so, i think the big thing to watch is how paul manafort thinks his own trial is going and does he think at some point over the next couple of days that taking a plea deal with bob mueller is the better part of valor. such an interesting idea that he changes his tune as he sees how his trial is going. right. i mean, you know, i think this is interesting in a lot of ways. i don t expect that manafort will plead guilty. if he is going to, i think we d see it tomorrow, candidly, before the start of trial. and the reason i don t think we ll necessarily see it is, this is a paper case, right? this is a case where the government has followed the money trail. so even when you look at the indictment, t
what the full scope of the evidence. when it comes to flip, we still don t know fully who he has cooperated against, how many people he is cooperating against, what his information. so it is like an iceberg where you only see the tip. and it s not until the cases are brought and tried that the public will get to see all the information. and garrett, you also make the moan point we don t know if mueller is done with manafort, whether he ll bring additional charges, whether there will be any plea deal. how much do you think we ll learn from manafort s trial which as anne said starts tomorrow in virginia? we re going learn a lot. and the other thing is paul manafort is going to learn a lot. i mean, he s almost 70 years old. he is already in jail for witness tampering during the course of the trial preparation, staring at potentially as many as 300 years in federal prison. it s not going take a lot for him to be staring down a life sentence if this trial begins to go poorly. so i think
detention. in his motion to continue the trial, which means delay the trial, one issue mr. manafort raised was the effect of his detention on the pace of trial preparation. the court attempted to address that by having him relocated to the alexandria detention center. after further reflection, issues of distance and inconvenience must yield to concerns about his safety and more importantly, the challenges he will face in adjusting to a new place of confinement. with these considerations in mind, he respectfully asks the court to allow him to remain in his current place of detention. wherever he respectfully request th that he be moved and permit him to remain there. that s like a place, if moussaoui thinks he could be
