In reply to the discussion: Paul Manafort Pulled Off Plane [View all]txwhitedove

In fact, the IRS can revoke a passport. He might have a physical paper passport, but the revocation is posted electronically for all to see. Manafort was convicted of tax fraud. Charges were tax fraud, tax evasion and money laundering. I would presume he's still under investigation for that and other crimes. We should not want him traveling around stirring up more trouble than he already has.

I know, right? maybe he's on a no-fly order from the feds and so no pilots wanted to be jailed

Was Manafort's passport revoked BECAUSE he boarded a plane out of the country?

How did he even get ON the place with a revoked passport. Our great TSA in action.
