        The value is probably over million. I remember seeing some set up in the backyard...it looked like a magazine cover.

        It's about a million and a half, which is pretty normal for that area.

        Question if Manafort is eventually pardoned after the Gov’t seizes property, what happens? Does he have an avenue for return/damages?

        No. Because it includes civil forfeiture.

        Would you mind elaborating briefly on that point, Marcy? Thank you.

        The property is taken pursuant to civil forfeiture process. I think pardons only relate to criminal convictions (not civil), so Trump wouldn’t be able to do anything about forfeited property.

        FYI, it is now being confirmed, that the Manafort plea confirms that any changes to his criminal conviction will have no impact on the property forfeitures. Meaning if Manafort is pardoned, DOJ can still seize/keep his property.

        Very disappointed that Paul Manafort has cheated America out of a Robert Mueller-led lemonade stand.
