      Manafort trial needs to be in Roanoke bc: 1) Press correctly reported that he had been indicted for a(nother) crime 2) Trump is an idiot gaslighterpic.twitter.com/rHFdERE7et

      Once again, Manafort's lawyers can't find a single citation to support their claim that a guilty verdict resulted in intensely negative media coverage that reached new heights.pic.twitter.com/9ltodDGna2

      Give or take 100,000, you mean. I'm surprised Manafort didn't cite Trump claiming Google is biased against his convicted former campaign managers.pic.twitter.com/gk8vsWGoA5

      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?

      Are we confident this story wasn't strategically leaked by the Manafort camp to signal their current state of desperation and possibly force Trump's hand on a pardon?

      Well, seeing as how Mueller doesn't leak, it'd have to come from Manafort somewhere. Q is why? And yes, pressuring Trump is logical guess.

      Could it also be that Manafort’s lawyers went to Trump/WH lawyers to let them know Manafort was close to cracking, and the story leaked from Trump world because Trump world is divided on the question of pardoning Manafort?

      Sure. Via Manafort one way or another, though. He clearly wanted that story out.

          It was a primal scream for a pardon. You think Flood will do it? I doubt it. I really don’t know what’s stopping Trump for just tweeting it out if he wants it so bad. Someone has been able to get through to him just how dangerous it would be. Maybe Graham?
