Another thing for Tiny to think about, during executive time: how will his home and great state of New York affect his family, business, and future freedom. Better have another burger and do some tweeting.
Manafort is another in the long line of corrupt scum in Trump’s orbit. Trump loves him because he isn’t as Trump brands him, a rat. Corruption is fine. Just don’t flip on me. It’s possible that the DOJ is sending a message to Trump and his pardon power. You can’t touch state crimes. Manafort is so dirty that NY State didn’t seem to have much trouble charging many new crimes. How long before Trump claims he never knew Manafort?
Let’s hope Manafort gets more than a couple of slaps on the wrist from the State of New York. I hope they kick his sorry ass into prison for a long time.
NOW Agent Orange is claiming that he hasn’t even thought about a pardon for Manafart!
Basically, he knows it would be TOTAL POLITICAL SUICIDE, and he wants to be sure that he stays in office as long as he can so he can keep on stealing from the U.S. treasury.
On another level, Mr. Manafort loses the ability to “plead the Fifth” on any questions Congress might have once Donnie John issues his “pardon” , quite aside from the optics such a pardon would obviously present!
Donnie John will have a difficult time claiming “concern for poor, old Paul” as the basis for any pardon, considering his complete lack of empathy for anyone other than himself!
For UNDER reporting his assets. I expect even in liberal NY the judge is going to throw those charges out. He’ll be convicted on the others, but the bulk of the charging document is going straight to the circular file.

All the people Trump hired were the best, the brightest, until they got in his way or became liabilities, then he hardly knew them.

After the SDNY trials Manafort still has the Russian traitor trials.
