    I sometimes wonder whether Manafort thinks being seen in a jumpsuit would be worse than the rest of his life in prison.https://twitter.com/ZoeTillman/status/1033866813732544513 …

        There might be something else going on-like strip searches when he leaves and returns to the jail that he wants to avoid.

        Maybe it’s finally sinking in and he’s depressed. Otherwise why wouldn’t you jump at every opportunity to get out for a bit?

        Sounds far-fetched, but Manafort has been so involved with Russians, I wonder if he’s afraid they’ll do something horrible to him if he talks to Mueller. Or moves from prison to courthouse. Maybe someday we’ll find out what he’s thinking. He’s made very poor choices. #TrumpRussia

        You aren’t the first I’ve seen speculating about that. I never thought of it til I saw it on Twitter. It appears he’s made poor choices for a really long time, too. Gotta be careful Paulie, if you sleep with dogs you get fleas.

        Putin is ruthless, and Manafort worked with some of Putin’s oligarchs. That’s one degree of separation.😱 He’s probably worried about more than we can imagine. #TrumpRussia

        That plus I think he doesn't have the money to pay his lawyers for such things. Whoever's footing his legal expenses is being stingy about it. I wonder who that could be..

        Trump prefers pardoning people who haven't gotten caught, and showing up in a prison jumpsuit wouldn't help Manafort with either Trump or Putin, or for that matter with a jury.

        He probably just wants to get it all over with so Trump can pardon him or so Putin can have him killed.

        Tbh, from what I’ve seen of the rest of his wardrobe, the prison jumpsuit might be an upgrade stylistically.
