BTRTN: Head-On Collusion Course... Mueller vs. Putin

Born To Run The Numbers on "Manafort's Destiny:" Paul Manafort is intransigent, refusing to plea bargain with Mueller. Why?

Excerpts: "Still, though, somewhere in a conference room in the vicinity of Washington, D.C., investigators are working on each and every potential element of collusion, but a huge piece of the massive a jig-saw puzzle is missing. That is the cooperation of former Trump Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort...This is a guy who is absolutely refusing to cut a deal with Robert Mueller despite facing jail time that would last, should he survive, until the millennium when the Jetson family is no longer cartoon science fiction. Just about everybody he has worked with who is not named Trump or married to somebody named Trump has already flipped and is singing to Mueller like the saucy new cast of My Fair Lady, and they are no doubt offering up juicey deets on Manafort when not able to implicate the Big Stupid himself. Speculation that Manafort is sitting pretty with the promise of a pardon is easily dismissed by the reality that many of the allegations against him could be tried as state crimes, which are beyond the reach of a Presidential pardon. The mere optics alone on this guy are overwhelming: once he’s comfortably ensconced in a Federal White-Collar Crime Spa, expect a best seller entitled, 'If I Colluded.'"
