      Interjection: Amy Berman Jackson was skeptical about this motion because -- as she noted -- the coverage of Manafort's corruption was national. This (and much of the rest of the argument) actually supports her point. Hell, I bet Roanoke even has access to The Google!!!

          Again, on top of not supporting the claim that the most prejudicial coverage was in the last week, Manafort SEEMS to be making the case that Mueller has moved very quickly, contrary to POTUS' claims.pic.twitter.com/kozuZckVC5

          Anyway, this is literally just a cut-and-paste from the EDVA motion, w/o any updating to support the new claim (that being convicted of 8 crimes gives you bad press). They are SO dialing things in at this point.

          Law twitter: Can we discuss the timing of plea negotiations WHILE on verdict watch in EDVA? https://www.wsj.com/articles/manafort-sought-deal-in-next-trial-but-talks-broke-down-1535404819 … Making a plea deal only makes sense if you're sure Manafort is guilty in EDVA, right?

          One more thing abt Manafort's change of venue request; recall that the influence peddling he's on trial for in the DC case is a bipartisan affair, featuring a guy named Podesta. So why should Hillary support in DC matter?

          And stop trashing Southerners! Stick to insulting the subject, Manafort, and lay off the locals in both DC and Virginia.

          If it's being held in Fairfax, I would actually prefer to face peers outside of that sphere in this current environment, for obvious reasons. But Manafort is a creation of that place. Let them deal with their own.

          And I thought ABJ said they would first try to find a suitable 12 given they have had high profile cases there in the past. How much can the defense muck up jury selection?
