Manafort appeals judge's decision to jail him

Source: Politico

Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort is appealing a judge's decision to jail him over charges that he attempted to tamper with the testimony of two potential witnesses against him.

Ten days after U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson revoked Manafort's house arrest and ordered him jailed, his defense attorneys filed an official notice Monday appealing her ruling to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Manafort's defense team also filed another appeal Monday over a decision Jackson issued nearly two months ago tossing out a civil suit Manafort hoped to use to block any further prosecutions of him by special counsel Robert Mueller.

At the June 15 hearing at which Jackson remanded Manafort into custody, defense lawyer Richard Westling signaled a possible appeal on the bail issue when he asked the judge to delay the effect of her order so that the defense could appeal. She refused.

precedent I believe on similiar matters. Sighting the Bundy Cases. In both Cases,the Judge won on several appeals to keep the Bundy Gang behind bars for several reasons. Main one was,Failure to Appear in Court. Next was Flight from Prosecution,

done standing on his head. He'll be like G Gordon Liddy - he'll eat a rat just to see if he could do it.

Or he could co-operate with Mueller and be out in a brief less than five.
