With his connections he could get something smuggled in I’m sure. Also Russian intelligence has lots of methods. His brazen actions to witness tamper says a lot IMO, he suspects at least a pardon possibly in exchange for?
What was in the shredded documents Cohen had?

Another indication that Cohen may flip on Trump.
A lawyer who turned down overtures from Cohen’s camp said he did so because he wasn’t experienced in plea deals, which he said was one of the areas of strength Cohen had been seeking in new legal representation.
While Mueller has handed off to the SDNY the investigation of a host of financial crimes by Cohen, Mueller’s team continues hot on the trail of Cohen’s alleged collusion with Russia in our Presidential election.
“My personal opinion is that Michael Cohen is the target of this investigation,” Andrii Artemenko said in an interview with ABC News on Thursday. “I can’t share with you the details of the questions, but from my understanding, they’re keeping going with this investigation.” . . .
He said he concluded that investigators remain interested in Cohen because they spent so much time asking him about his relationship and meetings Cohen, both in interviews and during his sworn appearance before the grand jury.
If Artemenko’s observations are correct, they suggest Mueller could have a separate, parallel probe looking at Cohen’s ties to Russia. Cohen has repeatedly professed his innocence and denounced the Mueller investigation as a witch hunt.
This isn’t new. Remember David Petraeus?
@Matt Great find! The article you linked to about “foldering” mentions that this technique was used in the 2008 spy film “Traitor.” That has to be where Manafort got the idea. 
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said on Monday that he will back legislation to prevent the separation of immigrant families along the border, solidifying Democratic support for the bill.
Manchin’s decision means all 49 members of the Democratic caucus, which includes independent Sens. Bernie Sanders (Vt.) and Angus King (Maine), are signing on to the legislation.
While this legislation may die in the House, it’s still very important that we get the Republicans on the record with an up or down vote before midterms.
In this post above about Manafort’s jail status, I linked to the jail’s inmate database that allowed you to see Manafort’s entry (Prisoner 45343). The jail has taken down Manafort’s listing saying it was a mistake that it was posted in the first place since they normally keep high-profile inmates “under wraps.” They also claim that Manafort is not being given preferential treatment and I hope that is true. At the same time, I hope they are taking particular care to keep him safe both for his sake and the sake of the Trump-Russia investigation.
(I intentionally posted this in Friday’s thread (Day 512) since it seems to fit here.)
Interesting…I wasn’t aware they used that technique.

wow! that’s wild. i’ve often personally wondered how good my hand-shred jobs were of sensitive documents… clearly i’m fucked
Gosh, I learn so much on this forum- I never heard of this. I lead such a dull life…?
Who ever knew what the heck ‘foldering’ was…especially as a term for hiding emails. Yes, we are constantly learning new legalese terms, and who knew!!! Good dedecto work! 
I had seen quotes from Manafort’s daughter Andrea Manafort revealing this technique - hiding emails in drafts, as well as her knowledge that she’s aware that he killed someone. This article dates back to 3/17.
She was married to Jeffrey Yohai, former partner to Manafort and he’s cut a deal w/ Mueller. I am pretty sure it is this daughter…the one who had a huuuuuge wedding. 
Last month, an anonymous hacker website published roughly 300,000 text messages that were supposedly sent between Manafort’s daughters, Andrea and Jessica, and the accusations in the apparent conversations are harsh.
You know he has killed people in Ukraine? Knowingly," Andrea Manafort apparently wrote to her sister in March 2015, referring to their father’s alleged role in the February 2014 police shootings in Kiev that killed over 100 pro-Western protesters in the weeks leading up to Yanukovych’s escape.
In another text to her sister, Andrea Manafort supposedly claimed that their father was behind the “strategy” that Yanukovych allegedly implemented in order to have his security forces kill dozens of protesters in Kiev’s Independence Square.
…
"He has no moral or legal compass," she added. (Andrea)
In the texts to her sister, Andrea Manafort apparently also claimed their father was no stranger to using under-the-radar tricks to communicate with Yanukovych officials.
"I was there when it happened. I saw him on his shady email," she allegedly texted. "They don’t write emails. They log on and write in the drafts So it’s never transmitted over any servers."
