Serious business


There must have been some concern that they'd try to leave the country, eh?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE November 1:
In a bail memo unsealed Tuesday evening, special counsel Robert Mueller argued that Paul Manafort and Rick Gates, the former Trump campaign aides indicted recently, are a flight risk given the serious nature of the charges, the wealth of the two men, and their extensive travel history.

  TPM
And "their history of deceptive and misleading conduct, the potentially significant sentences the defendants face, the strong evidence of their guilt, [...] and their foreign connections.”
Both have been placed in home confinement with bond set at $10 million for Manafort and $5 million for Gates.

[...]

Mueller noted that both have traveled abroad extensively and revealed that Manafort currently has three U.S. passports with different numbers. Manafort has applied for a passport ten times in the last ten years, per the court filing.

[...]

Gates listed his personal liquid assets at $25 million in February 2016 and at $2.2 million in March 2016.
What the hell happened?
