He doesn't get to flee....



MIAMI (AP) — Former Trump adviser Paul Manafort was removed from a plane at Miami International Airport before it took off for Dubai because he carried a revoked passport, officials said Wednesday.

Miami-Dade Police Detective Alvaro Zabaleta confirmed that Manafort was removed from the Emirates Airline flight without incident Sunday night but directed further questions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. That agency did not immediately respond to an email Wednesday seeking comment.

A lawyer who has represented Manafort did not immediately return a call and email seeking comment Wednesday.

Manafort, 72, led former President Donald Trump’s campaign for several months during the 2016 presidential race but was ousted in August of that year after revelations about his business dealings in Ukraine.

He was later indicted on a broad array of financial crimes as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia. He was convicted by a jury in August 2018 and later pleaded guilty in federal court in Washington.

Let me guess, There's no extradition treaty with Dubai.

What kind of ****ing idiot would show up at an airport bound for another country with a revoked passport? Did this piece of shit think he wouldn't get caught?

Maybe he didn't know? It suggests that they were watching what the criminal was doing, despite Trump's pardon.

He probably tried to pay someone off.
 
Was it a one way fare?

What reason would his passport be revoked for?

Is he in some legal jeopardy after his POTUS pardon?

"Trump aide"? He hasn't worked for Trump since 2016. :eek:
 
Friends has been off the air for 18 years, so I guess you would be shocked if you ever saw a headline that says "Friends star Jennifer Aniston...."
Not exactly the same thing. I'm pretty sure the MSP (Mainstream Propagandist) doesn't have a continuing hard-on for Friends. Nice try.

It's exactly the same thing. You are put out because they referred to him as Trump's aide. That is precisely what he was, just like she was a star of Friends. Nobody with a working brain wonders why Manafort was referred to as what he was.
 
A criminal pardoning another criminal should be outlawed in the U.S.
 
I don't have any experience with my 50+ years of having a passport, but my guess is if the US revokes it, they tell you.
Maybe they revoked it when they found out he was leaving.
