Tight timing of this disclosure, in terms of trial date, suggests to me that OSC fully expects to take Manafort to trial, and that OSC assesses that contents of the Gates phone aren't likely to sway Manafort in weighing cooperation. How do you see it ?
I might think the opposite.
Yes, I don't know specifically about this court but advance disclosure promotes fairer trial outcomes, and also promotes case settlement
The 'advance disclosure' is mandatory, so that's not the issue. The question is its timing. Here, they've cut it very close, in relation to the trial date. We're discussing what can be deduced, from the timing of the release, abt the strength of the info on Gates' phone.
Did your expectation of a manafort plea deal increase for you, as a result of your thought process described in this post?
I really don't know.
fair enough!
Nice catch!
I'm relegated to shit posting interesting tidbits on Twitter for the near term I fear.
It can't be more burdensome than the 2 hour drive both ways. :-)
My take... undeniable evidence.
