Washington (CNN)Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort will await his trial for foreign lobbying crimes from jail.
Two weeks after Robert Mueller's prosecutors dropped new accusations of witness tampering on him, a federal judge Friday revoked Manafort's current bail, which allowed him out on house arrest.
Judge Amy Berman Jackson's order marks an end to months of attempts from Manafort to lighten his house arrest restrictions after he was charged and pleaded not guilty to foreign lobbying violations.
When Manafort was first arraigned and pleaded not guilty in October, a magistrate judge set a $10 million bail price and placed him under house arrest, confiscating his passports. Manafort then attempted to find assets of his own and through real estate and family members' accounts. In December, the judge signed off on his plan -- provided he could provide the correct documentation. It didn't come through, according to the court filings.
Prosecutors have argued all along the jet-setting political consultant was a significant flight risk. As the process to negotiate his bail dragged on, prosecutors discovered possible mortgage fraud related to some of the properties he hoped to use as bail. That's when they finalized additional federal criminal charges against him in Virginia.

I am going to look at some potential used cars today.
The LA interview went well and it is the first step in the process. I will see what will happen, but I am applying to a lot of places.
I am wondering how much news will break today. I expect Michael Cohen to flip and Paul Manafort must feel a lot of pressure to do so.

There is too much scandal to keep track of all of it sometimes.
I just heard that Paulie Walnuts will indeed to a pre-trial detention center in either DC or Alexandria -- it depends on where they can get cell space.

I know CA has much stricter automotive emissions standards than the rest of the country, so if you get the job there, you might think about waiting until you arrive to buy one. Otherwise, the car you buy in Chicago may not pass CA emissions standards
