or he's going away for a long time.

And I'm curious now with potential re-trials on those 10 counts, if Trump's ability to pardon Manafort has been gummed up (at least for the short term)

It would encourage Manafort to make a deal, and if not a jury will have an easier time with 10 counts than 18.

This one has the potential to suck the trump family and guarantee Manafort to be locked up for the rest of his life.
