        Manafort says the reason he wants the trial postponed is that it's supposed to start tomorrow. Makes sense to me.

        It's a prep thing for the DC trial. So due to the fact that he wanted 2.

        Do you think this might be connected with the joint dismissal of Manafort's appeal today? Haven't some here predicted there would be an "eve of trial" plea deal?

        Both are probably best explained by his lawyers being overstretched bc of a cute legal strategy they pursued.

        In Manafort's defence, he was only exercising his right to have two separate trials and the fact that he could have combined them should not be held against him.

        Replying to @kdvncm @emptywheel

        I mean your could say he only has two trials because he decided not to plead guilty and instead exercise his right to a trial.

        Not sure that's a fair parallel. It was pretty clear that having two trials wasn't going to give them what they wanted, which was to do DC trial first.

        Criminal wants special treatment because he committed more crimes than normal, therefore he needs more time to figure out a defense.

        There are those in the legal profession saying Manafort is preparing to flip and needs time to cut a deal with Mueller. IF he and Cohen flip adding to Trumps financial guys testimony, Trump is done. Pray.

        Is there a legal term for "delaying the inevitable"?

        How do these people wade through the garbage in their inbox when their email address is exposed like this? Nobody is the slightest bit interested in me, and even I have trouble separating junk from real conversations efficiently. Sheesh. I can't imagine.
