Sure sounds like Trump is saying Manafort has evidence that could implicate him

1. But Manafort has been captured!

"I like people who weren’t captured.”

[spooky3]

2. And, not to quibble, but it was not a 12 year old case

Tax returns from 2010-2014 were the basis for conviction. But there is no statute of limitations on unreported income.

3. He is obstructing again.

He is impugning any testimony that Manafort might give in the future and Cohen's now. It is rather transparent. Subtly is not strong in this one.

4. "12 Year old tax case" ?

Twelve years ago is 2006
https://www.vox.com/2018/8/21/17692626/manafort-guilty-charges-verdict
Five convictions were for tax evasion/false tax returns in the five years between 2010 and 2014

Manafort did not report his foreign bank accounts between 2011 and 2014 and was convicted for failing to do so in 2012

Between 2015 and early 2017, prosecutors claim Manafort defrauded or attempted to defraud several US banks, He was convicted on two counts.

Six of the eight convictions so far were within the last six years with one as recent as last year.

6. Not to mention the very recent witness tampering.

7. One doesn't file taxes until the following year

and nobody finds out they are fraudulent until an audit sometime in the 7 years after.

Similarly, the bank won't knowingly grant a loan on a fraudulent claim (unless they get the Sec of the Army job ..) so bank fraud is usually determined well after the fact.

Just more bullshit America has to dig through

5. This can't be legal.

He's CLEARLY trying to send a message to Manafort to tell him not to break.

8. Beautiful family ya got there...

Be a shame if something happened to them.
