Best thing about this Chris. Is that the prosecution and come right back and try the remaining 10-counts on the same judge. Semper Fidelis.

I doubt it. They’ve got the next Manafort trial in DC in September. I’d just move on.
-
@chrisgeidner if he pardons Manafort now, can he pardon for the indicted counts in DC? -
Yes, provided the acts to be pardoned have been committed, it is irrelevant that there has not been a conviction. There need not even be an indictment.
-
Ok. So Trump can pardon manafort for something broad like "all crimes committed previously?"
-
So, we're getting into uncharted waters with some of this stuff, but in theory Trump could do something like that. It would be consistent with SCOTUS precedent as far as I know.
-
But the broader the defined range of pardoned crimes, the more likely the pardon could be invalidated. A president can't use the pardon power in cases of impeachment. We don't have a body of case law explaining what sort of connection with impeachment is required.
-
So it's also possible that if Trump pardons Manafort for reasons related to avoiding his own impeachment, the pardon could be invalidated.

Don't worry he will have his "executive time" until 11:00 am tomorrow morning.

I don't understand why. This was the trial that had nothing to do with him. He could easily just say something like I'm disappointed in Mr Manafort's actions prior to working on my campaign.

It was probably the fact that Pecker is cooperating and Underwood is suing the entire tRUmp family (except Tiffany!) for corrupting the tRUmp Foundation and the ‘Trust.’ They’re coming for his kids...which one will he throw under the bus first??

Why are we all up? Why is he up? This cannot be good or healthy for anyone.
