What did he do? I know he is being called to go back to prison. LizBeth Jul 2020 #2
He's on home confinement - went out for a dinner, his whole reason for release was he was in fear of sunonmars Jul 2020 #4

Incredible. While I sit at home, lol with no threat of jail. Wow. Thanks. LizBeth Jul 2020 #8

Send Manafort back to Prison too... ProudMNDemocrat Jul 2020 #7
Manafort's probably had the sense to stay his butt at home... StarfishSaver Jul 2020 #10
He probably has difficulty getting his butt out the door. LiberalFighter Jul 2020 #14
Hope that was a damn good meal he was eating Totally Tunsie Jul 2020 #9
Does anyone know if this adds time to his sentence? brush Jul 2020 #11
I don't think so. He didn't violate the terms of his sentencing, just his home confinement StarfishSaver Jul 2020 #12

He got a get-out-of-jail-free card... stillcool Jul 2020 #15
One step forward, a dozen steps backward kind of stupid. lunatica Jul 2020 #16
I'd almost feel bad for him, except give a listen to this. safeinOhio Jul 2020 #17

coronavirus infection in prison. So i guess going out for dinner means he's not exactly fearful, is he?

But then when I heard the rest of the story, I realized they actually did him a favor - he could hurt himself or others walking around in the world unsupervised.

This is what drives me crazy about Trump, Cohen, many others, they are all really fucking stupid and yet they get away with all kinds of shit. They all belong in prison for a very long time.

Ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen taken into custody after he balks at media gag agreement

Michael Cohen, the former personal lawyer for President Donald Trump, was taken into custody by U.S. Marshals and sent to a federal jail after balking at a demand that he agree not to talk to the media, or participate with any film or book, while serving the rest of his criminal sentence on home confinement, his attorney said.
Cohen’s detention came weeks after his furlough from a federal prison in Westchester County, N.Y., due to concerns about him catching the coronavirus, and a week after he was photographed by a New York newspaper eating at a Manhattan restaurant.
Cohen was recently released from prison after raising concerns he could catch the coronavirus.
