Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    It's pretty awesome that a guy who made $60M on political consulting wanted to move his trial from the Beltway to Roanoke to find a jury of his peers.

        The only 12 "peers" Manafort could find for a jury are already incarcerated or executed in Ukraine.

        It's like, where did @emptywheel come by this totally newfound interest in the intersection of national security, politics, corruption, and the law?

        He probably would find more sympathy in the very red backwoods of that part of Virginia.

        He most certainly would. But it would depend on where the jury pool was based. Roanoke City is neither backwoods nor remotely red, you just don't have to drive too far before it can be. Mute point though, not gonna happen...

        It's a phonetic mistake I make from time to time. Kind of like reversing numbers, only with words. I know both words, but I'll probably make that mistake again, so no, I didn't really need to know.

        I am even more confused as to why he appeared strapped for cash in 2016. Why were he and Gates running after loans ?
