Manafort's court date.....
Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort rolled into a Virginia federal court Friday in a wheelchair and wearing a green prison uniform instead of his signature tailored suit.
The judge scheduled Manafort to be sentenced Feb. 8 for eight counts of tax evasion and bank fraud and dismissed the remaining charges against him, NBC News reported.Manafort, appearing visibly greyer, was pushed into court in a wheelchair, missing his right shoe.

Manafort 69, appeared to be sick ....
It was not immediately clear what health issues Manafort is facing. A source close to Manafort's defense told News outlets on Friday that Manafort's "five months of isolation" have contributed to his deteriorating health.

Re: Manafort's court date.....
I read earlier today that this is an old tactic used to gain sympathy from the judge....I guess we'll find out if that's true...if he doesn't get better.

Re: Manafort's court date.....
He was in Virginia federal court for a hearing to determine his sentencing date, which a judge scheduled for Feb. 8.
As you may remember in August, Manafort was found guilty of tax and bank fraud charges, which were brought as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into whether Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia in the 2016 election.

Re: Manafort's court date.....
it's all a scam to get a lighter sentence.
