A Question......

I'm wondering: how is Manafort's legal team purposely assisting their incarcerated client to violate a federal court order any different than if they had brought him a cake with a hack-saw blade inside? I recognize that today's technology is more advanced, of course. But both examples seem equally unethical to me.

Speculation by legal experts on Twitter is that this attorney is cooperating with the FBI. They think Manafort will have additional witness tampering and/or obstruction charges levied against him as a result of his attorney cooperating with authorities.
