“think about how it’ll play elsewhere...” -Manafort to an unknown interlocutor in a taped prison call, talking about being tried by a DC jury first, June 20, 2018

My read is this comment reflects such an ugly, cynical theory that I’m hesitant to explain it.
For my money, he’s talking about how it will play with President Trump—how Trump, a known racist, will react to seeing him first convicted by the sort of jury panel you get in DC rather than the sort of jury panel you get in Alexandria. They want to use race to provoke a pardon.
