MIAMI (AP) — Former Trump adviser Paul Manafort was removed from a plane at Miami International Airport before it took off for Dubai because he carried a revoked passport, officials said Wednesday.

Miami-Dade Police Detective Alvaro Zabaleta confirmed that Manafort was removed from the Emirates Airline flight without incident Sunday night but directed further questions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. That agency did not immediately respond to an email Wednesday seeking comment.

Wonder what that's all about?

1. How many times has this happened? I have seen it posted several times in the last week.

Did he try several times?

3. That's interesting....

AP story is 9 hours old. Confirmation by Miami-Dade police today. Does he really, really want to get out of the country perhaps? He had to know his passport was still flagged. Interesting.

2. Maybe it was his Russian passport?

4. I only wish they had removed him mid-flight.

5. Don't have to over think it, when he got his ass indicted they revoked his passport...

so he was less likely to run. The Pig pardoned the prick and he didn't know or bother to get a new one.
