Maybe his son is just a idiot. nycbos Oct 2017 #10

but no one was offering him immunity. By now he may have settled for softer charges in exchange for cooperation.

If he had flipped, would his son have been going on as he did on Twitter? I don't think so.

... and negotiations are on going.


That is another possibility.


In away it is pointless to speculate (although it is fun) because there are dozens of different possible scenarios for stuff like this. (To the best of my understanding)

A no-knock warrant executed against Manafort in a building with tons of residents...not a peep.

An arrest at Dulles and subsequent trial and guilty plea...not a peep.

Mueller is the consummate professional, and the manner in which this investigation has been handled is nothing short of exemplary. After nearly a year of dealing with a criminal, bumbling tyrant in Trump and his sycophants and a Republican Congress that should be ashamed of itself, it's refreshing to see how a real professional behaves.

It could mean he as flipped in exchange for lesser chargers. Or it could just be that he hasn't been offered yet and he is just listening to his lawyer who has no doubt told him to keep his mouth shut. Other Trump folks haven't done that.

I don't think he's on Trump's protected list and at his age any conviction could lead to a life sentence.

I don't believe he's so loyal to The Moron that he'd take the chance when he has absolutely nothing to lose by turning states evidence. Sing like an opera star.
