    Actually, the reason Manafort is wearing a green prison jumpsuit today is bc his lawyers tried to get cute and TS Ellis was having none of it.https://twitter.com/DeadlineWH/status/1024048184560181248 …

        Doubt it. A pardon is his best deal and Trump has already offered it.

        Do you think Mueller will bring other charges before this can happen? Before the election?

        Yes. Not sure he feels bound by election deadlines but yes, we'll see more charges or pleas before then.

        Does the Dept. of Corrections use green to signify “multi-millionaire”?

        Replying to @theurbansherpa

        Nah. But Manafort didn't have to wear a jumpsuit at all in the last jail he was in. And then his lawyers got cute and he got put in the close jail where BK millionaires don't get as special treatment.

        But they are color-coded: the colors signify something (different from jail to jail) to help the staff keep the prisoners sorted (and safe). So green means something. I'm just wondering what.

        Replying to @theurbansherpa

        Dunno. I guess I could call the jail. Maybe separation for own safety. Sort of like a QB's red pre-season jersey.

        Maybe Manafort will tell us in his future bestselling memoir. (But yeah, probably solitary confinement.)

        So he admits the only reason he's being prosecuted is because of Trump. Shut the witch-hunt down.

        You're saying people who cheat their taxes on $60M of income shouldn't be punished?

        He's speaking metaphorically. And I'm asking those who take it literally if they really think multimillion dollar tax cheats should go unpunished.

        It's shocking to think that DOJ looked at Manafort's behavior a few years ago and decided tens of millions in unreported income was not worth prosecuting.

        tbh they're not wrong, but for unintended reasons. he just pulled the worst, dumbest criminals into his administration, folks who didn't think courting scrutiny could harm then

        no the reason he's wearing green is because he tried to tamper with witnesses.

        False. His first jail didn't make him wear a jumpsuit.

        Okay, I'll give you that one, but he wouldn't be in jail if he hadn't tampered.
