What's the pool up to on when Manafort gets his pardon?

[Major Nikon]

I've got next Friday and I'm in for a bottle of rot gut whiskey.

[democratisphere]

1. Not going to happen.

[madaboutharry]

2. No pardon for Manafort.

He has already betrayed Trump.

[Rorey]

3. I'd wager more that he has some sort of "accident"

Or that something he eats or drinks or breathes doesn't agree with him.

Of course I have no sympathy for him, but I do hope nothing happens to his family.

4. His lawyer said "to keep his family safe"

The prosecutor speaking at the announcement was Andrew Weissmann, previously criticized for threatening to prosecute family members to force confessions. I bet he said he would go after his wife, who signed their tax returns. The daughters got money and at least one told her sister about her dads horrific acts. Did she knowingly take dirty money?

As soon as. I heard his lawyer say “to keep his family safe” I thought: Weissmann.

Prosecutors are often monsters, cold, cruel. Don Jr, Ivanka, Eric should be afraid. Very very afraid.

5. you sound like Jay Goldberg

[Cicada]

7. I support Weissman going medieval on Manafort. Does Goldberg?

I may have given you the wrong impression. This matter is so serious, the possibility of a President captured by a foreign power, that I support cold heartless viscious methods to force the truth out of Manafort. In other cases not so severe, such as Enron when Weissman played the wife prosecution card, I would give common decency more respect. Not here. Unleash Weissman!

And i did not mean to imply Weissman would pressure Don Jr and Ivanka etc to sweat out Trump. I meant that Manafort May know things proving the kids broke laws.

[irresistable]

10. I'm sorry that I posted that in the way that I did.

Goldberg is trying to undermine Mueller's investigation. You just were expressing the potential for proprietorial over-zealousness in certain cases..

[HipChick]

11. Unleash Weissmann...

I have lack of empathy here....

[blueinredohio]

6. If she's signing tax returns knowing they're false she's just as guilty.

[Cicada]

8. When you have a crime boss husband I have sympathy for the wife

I favor anything short of torture to force truth from Manafort because this matter is so important. But I tend to sympathize with a wife under the thumb of a domineering criminal husband.

God knows she suffered heavily. Their daughter said Manafort made her have sex with multiple men at the same time and got angry at her for not enjoying it. Their daughter said she did that because she felt he would divorce her otherwise. I just want to give her a break.

They've been married for 40 years.

On Tuesday, Paul Manafort was found guilty on eight financial charges in the special counsel’s investigation into President Trump’s associates. The charges include five counts of filing false tax returns, failing to report foreign bank accounts, and bank fraud. The jury was unable to reach a verdict on foreign bank account charges, and remaining bank fraud and conspiracy counts.

If you remember, Manafort was Trump’s former campaign chairman but just like everyone else recently who associates with the president, they seemingly tend to go down in flames. Such is the case for Manafort, but we can’t help but wonder about his personal life.

Criminals often have a pretty normal family life, so who is Paul Manafort’s wife? Here are 6 things to know about Kathleen Manafort and their relationship.
