      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.

          Replying to @chrisgeidner

          Manafort has a few obstacles here, like 1) confirmatory search / independent source doctrine (see Murray v US), apparent authority to consent doctrine (see Illinois v Rodriguez) & 3) a factual argument this employee had actual consent authority

          All the govt needs to prove is, was it objectively reasonable for the Agent to believe that person being asked for consent was the person in apparent control of the premises. The guys name is on the lease as the sole occupant. That pretty much is the ball game.

          Manafort has offered no evidence (not even an affidavit) that the employee lacked authority.

          Replying to @dickius @AndyMcCanse @chrisgeidner

          In the eyes of the law wether or not Manafort or anyone else gave him authority is irrelevant. The standard is did the Agent have an reasonable belief that the person granting consent was in apparent control of the premises. The lease clearly says yes.

          I'm not sure this was an actual 'search'. The employeee obviously told them of the existence of the storage locker... plus they probably had financial records it existed, they could have have just gotten a warrant on knowledge alone. M's lawyers have a thin argument.

          I have bad news for his lawyers...if the guy who gave consent is listed as the occupant on the lease then he can consent to a search. It also may mean they lack standing to argue against the search.

          This is the part of "law" that makes me insane. Doesn't matter how illegal an act, lawyers can claim evidence inadmissible over a technicality. Doesn't matter the totality of all the charges. Seems like a loophole and it happens all the time.
