RUSH: You want to talk about vindictiveness? Have you heard this? The New York district attorney, Cyrus Vance Jr., the third, fourth, or 15th, whichever Cyrus Vance he is, has decided that he\u2019s moving Paul Manafort to Rikers Island. That\u2019s like being sent to the devil\u2019s, uhh… the devil\u2019s, uhhh — the devil\u2019s anything! And there\u2019s no need for it. Manafort is in a minimum-security federal prison. The crimes he was convicted of are, for the most part, process crimes — like lying to the investigators, things like that. Rikers Island is where the dregs of the dregs are.<\/p>\n

\"\"And they\u2019re gonna put him in solitary confinement in Rikers, “to protect him.” It doesn\u2019t make any sense to put Manafort there. By the way, Rikers is not a federal prison! Manafort\u2019s in a federal prison, but Cy Vance figured, “Well, I want this guy…” I mean, the vindictiveness here. The guy\u2019s gonna be in jail the rest of us life, 24 years. They\u2019ve broken him. The things that he was found guilty of are crimes the Justice Department looked at and passed on back in 2014, 2013. I don\u2019t know Manafort from a pile of coal. I have no brief for Manafort.<\/p>\n

But, folks, this just seems vindictive and I can\u2019t figure it out, beyond the obvious. This is Cy Vance. This is the DA of New York City doing this, and I don\u2019t know what ties Cy Vance and New York City and the DA have to the Mueller operation, which is what — which is who — got Manafort. Maybe they\u2019re still trying to sweat people and say, “This is where you could end up if you don\u2019t play right by us. If you don\u2019t help us get Trump, this is where you could end up.” Who knows? They may be telling Cohen this. I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

(interruption)<\/p>\n

\"\"What do you mean, “influence other prisoners”? Pfft! You mean at the minimum-security prison? They don\u2019t want him influencing other federal prisoners, so they take him to Rikers \u2019cause they don\u2019t want him to influence them? Which prisoners are you talking about that they don\u2019t want him to influence? Well, here\u2019s another crazy thing. Manafort\u2019s got continued court appearances in the federal minimum-security prison a couple blocks from the courthouse. Rikers Island is now a much bigger trip than that to and from the courthouse. It\u2019s gonna be a hassle for everybody out there, except for Cyrus Vance VIII or whichever Cyrus Vance he is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
