[W:152] Legal experts stunned by DA's 'barbaric' move to send Manafort to Rikers Island

Trump's not gonna pardon him. Once he's pardoned he'll be sent back to jail for contempt if he does not answer all questions related to Trump.

Even if Trump tried to pardon him, there is absolutely nothing he can do about NY putting a person in Rikers other than write a letter.

Sent from the Oval Office using Putin's MacBook, and Barr's Wi-Fi password.

Solitary confinement at one of the the most notorious prisons in the nation for a guy convicted of white collar crimes with no history of violence.

Kind of hard to argue that this isn't purely political and utterly grotesque.

It's New York. It involves someone associated with the President. Anyone surprised?

They need to post signs at all the border crossings saying to everyday Americans who support the President they are entering at their own risk.

do you believe there's a chance this whole RussiaGate was a complete set-up by bias insiders like Brennan Comey McCabe Strzok?

Someone who stills ten bucks isn't going Rikers. That's a misdemeanor.

People who have done far less have served far more time there.

It's for detainees who would be in jeopardy in the general population, has a history of communicating ILLEGALLY with witnesses and possible co-conspirators, and needs to be given a strong message the kid gloves are off- this is the real justice system that really doesn't care what he knows about others... :peace

Neh, this is political retribution. This is to send a clear message to the dark horse candidate and anyone who works on his campaign.

I think his whole case will get tossed because fruit of the poison tree. If that doesn't happen Trump pardons him quickly after Durham indictments are released.

If two years go by w/o any of these three things happening, will you re-assess your understanding of the situation?
What about five years?

Rikers is a national disgrace.

Justice delayed/denied/mangled/murdered.

i'll believe Durham report...it'll probably take less than 6 months to come out...hope sooner but DOJ's having hard time getting info from agency heads

Yep. Defendants spend years there awaiting sentencing

And trial.

Makes the debtors' prisons of old look like country clubs.

There is no justice for the poor in this nation.

Quite the opposite, actually.

Your spin machine calls it solitary.

The prison calls it protective custody.

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time and all that.

I doubt you had such concern for the thousands in solitary who aren't heroes of your side

Some people still believe that Killary should go to jail over stuff in re Benghazi despite the lack of charges stemming from the multiple investigations.

If there're no indictment after Durham, will you be willing to think you are mistaken?
Or will you believe justice has been thwarted?

nobody's claiming his innocent...its about equal treatment under the law.

Manafort and Podesta are of the same cloth....both soiled IMO...one caught one on the loose

Durham's end for me. If no one is indicted I was wrong.

Yay for timeless slogans:

No, Obama didn't spy on twump. Why keep repeating that lie?

No, not at all. That might be because I actually pay attention, and do not spout the Fox News line.
