Stunned....translation....shitting themselves.

Sources close to Trump legal team tell @ABC they're "stunned" by Manafort bail decision. No response yet from the President's attorneys on today's development.

Are they the only ones who are surprised? Maybe Manafort is, I sure hope so. 'bout time he saw the inside of a cell.

You are right. They were probably not stunned but scared shitless. (Interesting how scared shitless and shitting their pants both basically mean the same thing.)

Is he desperate or just fucking stupid?

(20,998 posts)...seasoned, competent attorneys would know that when you are out on bail, you are on your best behavior, and to try and tamper with a witness is the kiss of legal death.
Trump* and his family are still operating under the very false assumption that they can flagrantly violate the law and still walk away unscathed. The "stunner" is that they are starting to realize their illegal actions WILL HAVE legal ramifications.
Trump*s attorneys "are stunned" is drama queen legal posturing at it's finest.

(2,419 posts)that his behavior ended with his bail revoked? This is the equivalent of gang members sending out the word that "snitches get stitches" to intimidate witnesses not to testify.

(12,448 posts)who has followed the Manafort saga at all. They're morons. Or, of course, they're lying. Or both. Probably both.

there have been many lawyers on the news shows, mostly predicting this... makes me wonder where The Donald's lawyers went to law school...
