This is the most ambitious argument, citing Trump's tweet as evidence there is confusion about what Manafort's pretrial detention means: "Indeed, even the President’s response on Twitter" was inaccurate.pic.twitter.com/1e7bWmLFhG

ALSO: New from the Special Counsel's Office. SCO says it will present evidence at trial re: allegations that a sr exec at "Lender D" sought Manafort's assistance (successfully) to get a role advising the Trump campaign. Manafort got 2 big loans from them. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4580876-USA-v-Manafort-Opposition-to-Motions-in-Limine.html …pic.twitter.com/phbvxHh6Qd

The Special Counsel's Office doesn't name "Lender D" or the "senior executive," but NBC News previously reported that Mueller was looking into a similar set of allegations involving Federal Savings Bank and Stephen Calk.https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/mueller-asking-if-manafort-promised-banker-white-house-job-return-n849916 …

It certainly has a larger pro-trump population than Alexandria, which is the reason for Manafort's plea. I guess he assumes they don't have twitter and TV there.

Can there be a judge who throws the book at Manafort for all his frivolous requests? Make it a really HEAVY book. For God's sake, imagine if a black man tried these shenanigans.
