but it definitely looks much more cushy than the DC jail. Maybe no roaches or rats for him.

Cable TV...Nice bed and bath en suite. Good food and nice activities like a gym.

Country Club jail. The rich always have the best.

What a joke. Even the rich and powerful get nice jails while peasants sleep with roaches and rats.

to move him to a more protected location -- given that he might have a Russian target on his back. Also, his first trial is in Virginia, not DC.

I thought they were protecting him from his cell mates in DC and I was hoping they were also Dems and really mad. I guess Putin's poison is worse than angry cell mates.

He probably even has a bed. Those kids sleep on the floor.

Valuable Influential Prisoner

In Manafort's case, it means he can arrange for you to stay for free at one of his vacation residences if you make sure he gets champagne, cable TV and steak when he wants it, and how he likes it cooked.

Just a serious level of discomfort prior to trial would satisfy my thirst for karma justice.

So this is still a couple hours away from that court. Not super convenient for his lawyers, but it might be a safer location for him.

And we do want him to be kept safe so he can testify against DT eventually.

With nothing more than one of those foil space blankets for comfort at night.

Why should he get it better than a 4 year old who did nothing wrong?
