Manafort is about to come face to face with reality, Life. He will have to make a decision.

If he thinks Trump will pardon him he is a dam fool. Trump will play him, make him think he will pardon him so he will not talk.

Trump doesn't give a shit about Manafort, he doesn't care about anybody. He only cares about himself. If he pardoned Manafort that would be a political disaster for Trump. After Manafort is convicted Trump will say something like this. That was a very unfair decision, Manafort is a good guy. Will Manafort fall for that bullshit? Or will Manafort realize he must try to make a deal?

After he is in prison for a year or two he may start to get it.

Why does it take people so long to recognize Trump will fucking use them, destroy them if its in his best interest? There are a lot of fools in this world.

1. Trump will pardon him

And Manafort knows it.

2. Lets not count our chickens.

3. I do not believe Trump will pardon him, no way.

Trump will say nice things about Manafort just to fool him. Trump would turn on Manafort in a heartbeat. Just like he did with Cohen. Watch. I have figured Trump out.

Trump would turn on his own mother, his children. He is a scum bag.

4. You are assuming Manafort has information that would be valuable enough to Mueller

I am not sure at this point Mueller would be willing to make a deal. That train left the station.
