I know Rikers well having spent time there visiting numerous defendants accused of murder and other violent crimes. ALAN DERSHOWITZ: CONGRESS IS NOT ABOVE THE LAW WHEN IT COMES TO IMPEACHMENT – DON’T WEAPONIZE THE CONSTITUTIONWhy then was Manafort moved there? He has already been indicted on multiple state charges for which he cannot, if convicted, be pardoned by President Trump. In my experience, defendants serving time in federal prisons for federal crimes who are then indicted for state crimes are not usually transferred to Rikers until the eve of their state trials. So when Vance says that no one is above the law, he may be referring to Trump rather than Manafort.
