Paul Manafort’s $10 million bail was revoked on Friday by a federal judge after prosecutors working with special counsel Robert Mueller filed two new counts accusing Manafort of witness tampering during his period of home confinement while awaiting trial on the original charges. Basically, a judge found there was credible evidence Manafort was witness tampering, which qualifies as a legal basis to revoke bail.

But what really happened is that Mueller’s team only introduced evidence that Manafort had attempted to reach and was possibly in contact with witnesses in connection with the original charges. Talking to witnesses is not the same thing as witness tampering.
