      JUST IN: Paul Manafort's lawyer in his DC criminal case, at almost 10:30 pm tonight, filed a request to have an extension of the weekend and Monday to file his motion to suppress the evidence obtained by Mueller's team.pic.twitter.com/jAWDfUHvUs

      Judge Amy Berman Jackson had set the April 6 deadline for any motions to suppress nearly a month ago, on March 11. Can't imagine she's going to appreciate getting this motion 1.5 hours before the deadline.pic.twitter.com/tB8Ho2OpkO

          Theoretically, a judge could find they can’t file motions because they’re out of time. More likely she’ll give them a brief extension, and won’t be very happy about it.

          That said, extension request just says suppress re his residence. There's also a storage locker defense is mad about FBI searching, so maybe we'll still get that tonite. https://twitter.com/joshgerstein/status/982445777539747841 …

          It is after midnight, and Judge Amy Berman Jackson did not rule on Manafort's request for an extension of time to file a motion to suppress regarding the search of the residence. Nor did his lawyer file such a motion. So, in theory, it's now out of time.

          They file the filing — not requests for extensions. If you're going to seek an extension on something that's been pending for a month, I'd think you want to do it a bit earlier.

          Psst: Look at the tweet earlier in the thread. They're asking for an extension (as to the residence), through to Monday, with no reason given, on 1.5 hours notice.

          ESPECIALLY without good cause or explanation, and without even articulating whether the prosecution was notified and consented. Anything filed under seal that maybe will give her more context?

          Not that unusual to make a last-minute request to extend time. This one asks for just a few days. Any indication the judge has seen the moton or acted on it? Any opposition to the motion filed?

          Generally, unless something unexpected occurred, a last second request is poor form. Did he not know yesterday that he might need a couple more days? How about at noon today?
