American Gulag; Manafort Sent to Rikers
Timothy Birdnow
Not content with holding Paul Manafort in solitary confienement, a judge has now ordered Manafort to serve his time at the infamous Riker's Island Prison in New York.
From Fox News:
They are treating Manafort far worse than he deserves. Why? To get him to "flip" on Trump? Perhaps. It should also be pointed out that Trump has to have people work for him, and if his enemies can make it so painful to work for the President then nobody will take a job from him. This is the a large part of why they are doing this; as a warning to others.
I can't believe this is America.
Not content with holding Paul Manafort in solitary confienement, a judge has now ordered Manafort to serve his time at the infamous Riker's Island Prison in New York.
From Fox News:
Paul Manafort, the former Trump campaign chairman who was sentenced earlier this year to nearly seven years in prison in connection with two federal cases, will be transferred later this week from a minimum security facility in Pennsylvania to New York City’s Rikers Island, a source close to Manafort told Fox News.
Rikers Island is the famous jail in the shadow of LaGuardia Airport. It has been the temporary home of some of the most high-profile violent criminals in the city, including David Berkowitz, the Son of Sam; and Mark David Chapman, the man who killed John Lennon.
"He’s not a mob boss," the source close to Manafort said.
RIKERS ISLAND HAS BEEN CRITICIZED FOR VIOLENCE
A New York State judge ordered the transfer at the request of New York City District Attorney Cy Vance, Jr. He will be held in solitary confinement for his own protection, the source said. The move is expected to happen as early as Thursday.
