Manafort's trial not televised is it?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

Googled and didn't see the question raised at all.

1. Federal courts don't allow it.

2. Wonder if he flips before it starts?

3. Amazed he hasn't already. Maybe he's on more

of his own path if corruption with less trump intersections. (than others)

5. Could happen. But my theory, for what it's worth (and that's not much)

is that Manafort is afraid to flip because the Russians will come after him or his family if he spills too many beans. If he's put on trial he doesn't have to testify on his own behalf so even if he's convicted at least he isn't as likely to be whacked in prison for being a rat, and his family would be safe. But if he flips to get a deal for a reduced sentence and the Russian money-laundering channels are exposed, who knows?

4. Oh, I wish

I would be glued to the tv.

6. His only way out

Is going into the witness protection program , and I think he already knows it. He knows how dangerous all the people are that he worked with , and he knows too much to be left available to talk.

7. He cannot flip because the Russians would have some nice tea for him and his family if he did.

8. not any trial held in federal courts, hell they could do a pay for view on it

9. I wish. Hopefully there will be a live blog.
