(18,837 posts)1. Manafort 'likely on suicide watch'
I suspect the prosecutors are hopeful that will happen. This will be a real shock for him tonight if he goes out into Montgomery County, to one of the county jails, or Alexandriathose are all awful places. I know because the number of the Watergate people were placed in them. The reason they dont go to the D.C. jail, that is the true hell hole, Dean said.
They also know this man once told his daughter he was suicidal. He threatened to take his life. I assume theyre on watch for that as well, he said.
White House correspondent April Ryan said that the fact they took his belt was a sign.
When you go to prison or jail and they take your tie or belt, they are concerned about suicide, she said.

And that was decades ago and was done to everyone. At that time you didn't get a uniform, but they took belts, ties, shoelaces, wallets, jewelry, etc. You got to keep your prescription glasses.

But I bet it was a really expensive belt, made of unicorn hide or something.
