My money says that Man'o'Fart flips on Trump.

[MineralMan]

He's doesn't like the idea of spending the rest of his miserable life in a Federal prison.

I'm thinking this all will accelerate from here a bit.

[Johnny2X2X]

1. Nope

I don't think he will, he's too close to Trump and they've been paling around for 4 decades. These guys have dirt on each other so deep they'd both get life in prison if either spoke up.

[PJMcK]

2. Manafort might prefer prison

After all, if he's pissed off the Russians or owes them a lot of money, jail might be the safest place for him!

3. trump can and will pardon him....

[marylandblue]

5. Trump can't pardon for New York State tax evasion

Manafort will definitely flip.

[4139]

4. Nope, Trump likely has dirt on manafart...

[marylandblue]

7. They've all got dirt on each other

Classic prisoner's dilemma. First one to flip wins.

[wiggs]

6. I bet Flynn does. Remember his quote from ages ago...'not fair if I'm the one left holding the bag'

or something close to this.

[MontanaMama]

8. I don't think Paulie flips on Dotard.

It'll be Flynn once Mueller puts the boots to Flynn Jr. Or, maybe it'll be whoever the 4 mystery indictments are on that sit between Manafort and Papadopoulos.

[Blue Owl]

9. Fartman should gaslight tRump...

...a little accelerant for the flames...

[GoCubsGo]

10. Yep. There is no honor among thieves.

I'm guessing the reason Mueller hauled him in first was that he understands that. Manafort already sold out his country. He wouldn't think twice about selling out Trump, too. Especially if it meant less time in the federal pen for him.

[Hortensis]

15. My thoughts exactly. Another old saying fits also.

These people can't be trusted as far as they can spit.

Which must pose occasional problems because none would dare turn their backs on the others either.

[NastyRiffraff]

11. Manafort doesn't strike me as a particularly loyal type

especially when loyalty means long prison time for him. No matter how long he's been BFFs with Dump. I say he flips.

[ProudLib72]

12. I wonder if all he has to do is corroborate stories

He might just flip to save himself if he already sees Dotard is going down.

[BainsBane]

13. I hope so

And my guess is that Flynn is already cooperating.

[Nevernose]

14. If he was going to flip he wouldve done it by now

Unless the Mueller team is playing a truly excellent long con.

The problem is, knowing Putin’s history, if Manafort flips there’s an excellent chance he falls down a stair well and lands on some Russian bullets. Club Fed seems a better prospect... BUT that’s also a reason to play a con as long as possible. Even if he has flipped, seeming to face 60 years might keep him out of an assassin’s crosshairs.
