But based on her insta he has a very loving and attractive and normal family . And he would be a fool to give it up for trump.

With all those documents/cells, there should be a ton to put him away, but it's Trump who should be spending the time on 3 squares and a cot.

Manafort has screwed himself out of any chance for consideration unless he's got a lot to sell.

This should be an interesting week.

to FINALLY AT FKN LAST go ahead and sing, it would be a live announcement with his new SDNY lawyer by his side...or maybe just the lawyer would announce it.

Also, he already sat for the interview - if he seriously WAS going to hang up his guns, seems to me that would’ve already been leaked - ? Because it takes a few crew people to tape and edit etc. such an interview...and we are living in leaky times, are we not?!?

Also...does he even NEED to flip, seriously? The FBI has all manner of his phones, emails, tapes, texts, documents, 16 pages of which were fed into his cheap-ass shredder (dumbass), recordings he personally made of “client” interactions...? So like - maybe it doesn’t even matter now.

Also, SCOOP: I just checked Avenatti’s tweets to see if he’s got anything to say about this, and no, nothing yet, but - unless it’s just a joke, who knows anymore - stuttering John has hired Avenatti to rep him, as John is in a spot of trouble for prank calling DUMBFUCK45 the other day - !!!?

Easily confusing - I guess they replay it at the same time for each time zone. You think youre bad, I dont pay much attention to these little idiosyncrasies with tv listings and never even thought they adjust for that. But yes, it does say 7-9 for ET : )

…breaking the silence we all hope for and that the country needs. He means he's going to do a media blitz to win points for his version.

He's just going to start talking publicly to defuse the situation if he can.When what we really need is for him to talk behind a closed door, under oath.
