Paul Manafort to be moved from jail where prosecutors say he has 'VIP'
treatment

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/paul-manafort-has-phone-email-vip-treatment-in-jail-prosecutors-say/2018/07/11/2b7201b6-851d-11e8-8f6c-46cb43e3f306_story.html

        A federal judge in Alexandria has ordered Paul Manafort to be
        moved to the city jail, although Manafort has asked to stay in
        a Northern Neck, Va., facility where prosecutors say he is
        receiving special treatment.  U.S.  District Court Judge T.S.
        Ellis wrote in a filing published Wednesday that Manafort's
        "access to counsel and his ability to prepare for trial trumps
        his personal comfort."  Manafort, the former Trump campaign
        manager, had asked for his July 25 federal trial in Alexandria
        on bank and tax fraud charges to be delayed in large part
        because it was difficult to prepare while incarcerated 100
        miles away. But on Tuesday, Manafort resisted being moved to
        Alexandria, arguing that while the city jail would be more
        convenient, he did not want to adjust to new circumstances so
        close to trial.

I mean really Paul, if you're gonna do jail, you gotta get the full
"ordinary man" experience, eh?
