I’m sure bill Barr had something to do with this!

Oops!

U-turn

“surprise” decision? Cohenwas phothgrohed eating in an outdoors restaurant while ostensibly UNDER HOUSE ARREST.

What a joke! He’s a felon, & not very smart. Most of us, wouldn’t go ANYWHERE, if being given the chance to get out early in the middle of pandemic. He chose to go to a restaurant in NYC during the pandemic! Real smart Trump lawyer. 🙄 He belongs in jail—glad he’s got sent back.

Follow the rules foo

What's so surprising? He violated his agreement. Did he think they would just look the other way? How pathetic that he thinks he is that important to do whatever he wants. Enjoy prison! Your not exempt and neither is Trump.

Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, and We separated them and made from water every living thing? Then will they not believe?

He is dumb. Should have stayed homeas required and now let’s cry like a baby.

Yeah, seems safe for Manafort to go back.

MColetteK They had to get him back to prison to shut him up!

Good he needs to be there

Yeah, well, maybe he should consider the fact that he is a convicted felon, and by all rights should be in prison. Not dining out with friends.

He’s just another crook. Put him in jail.

Well if the rug was at a restaurant while he was supposed to be under house arrest, then yeah

Michael, how badly do I feel for you?

Something seems fishy. The reason why he’s back in custody and taken to the same detention center as Ghislaine Maxwell...

when is MANAFORT back to custody ?

You about to lose yo job!

Well. Nobody should be serving a prison sentence from home. That’s not prison. That’s quarantine. Highly doubt any black people are doing their prison time from home.

lol, the schmata kid thought eating out in restaurants was worth serving the rest of his sentence out in federal prison, so, that's exactly what he's gonna get

Clearly, Michael Cohen is not playing with a full deck.
