      Here's the minute entry from the Manafort hearing, ordering that "The Defendant shall be detained pending trial as of today." Judge Amy Berman Jackson says a written order will follow and notes that she also denied a motion to stay her ruling on his detention pending appeal.pic.twitter.com/nvhdWoPMCV

      Pretrial detention is not uncommon when people are deemed to be a flight risk — as Jackson noted re: Manafort today — or a danger to the community. Trump either doesn’t know that, didn’t actually find out what happened today, or just doesn’t care and was tweeting to tweet.

          Interesting discussion here from Jackson: She didn't find that Manafort's flight risk had changed; she found, instead, that he poses a danger to the community — "harm to the administration of justice."pic.twitter.com/oLPZ4APIg3

          Or is deliberately lying. Never forget that option.

          I mean, sure, but this read more like “words! they’re tough!” than “let me use inaccurate words that are obviously inaccurate” to me.

          His stance: I don't like it/want it, it shouldn't happen. That's it. There is no legal/illegal or moral/immoral. There is only what he wants, in the moment and those who comply. That's all folks.

          I think he may be setting up his lies to generate an outcry for him to pardon Manafort.
