      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

      Yeah, to be clear, there is no additional information in the filing. No sealed attachments, no information about consulting the special counsel's office, nothing. Here is the proposed order:pic.twitter.com/HAErkLMtIZ

      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.

          Well, not necessarily. This is about the storage unit — not the residence (which was what the extension request specifically asked about).

          You don’t have to be a prosecutor to know that whatever was in that storage locker proves he is guilty of a felony.

          @joshgerstein Isn't this a circular argument? If the lease was in the "former" employee's name & he had stuffed it full of Manafort files, how can Team Manafort argue the leaseholder was unable to give the FBI permission to enter?pic.twitter.com/r4iMNUpm07

          this motion definitely validates Mueller looking for evidence in the storage locker.
