Ron Wyden on Manafort: ‘To Have the Prospect of Witness Tampering, While You Know Federal Authorities Are Watching You… that Is Just About as Brazen as It Gets’
‘If he has done what he was alleged to have done, the judge would have every right to throw him in jail’
RUSH EXCERPT:
WYDEN: "At this point, it sure looks like Manafort is going to play hard ball. Again, to have the prospect of witness tampering while you know federal authorities are watching you, that is just about as brazen as it gets."
BLITZER: "Well what does it say about Mueller's strategy right now that he's squeezing Paul Manafort as much as he is, potentially Manafort within the coming days, he could lose his bail and wind up in jail."
WYDEN: "Well as far as I'm concerned, Mr. Manafort was lucky to get out on bail. If he has done what he was alleged to have done, the judge would have every right to throw him in jail."
