Actually, the reason Manafort is wearing a green prison jumpsuit today is bc his lawyers tried to get cute and TS Ellis was having none of it.https://twitter.com/DeadlineWH/status/1024048184560181248 …

Do you think Mueller will bring other charges before this can happen? Before the election?
Yes. Not sure he feels bound by election deadlines but yes, we'll see more charges or pleas before then.
Seems like a big risk to trust that Trump can and will do it.
A pardon would deprive Manafort of his 5th Amendment right not to testify, so he could testify against Trump et al.
I think it is pretty clear that prosecutors must not have any need for him to flip. They’ve got Gates. Manafort can go to prison.
Except for NY & CA state charges
Manafort will have to be sentenced tho right? He should've pled guilty, he would've been pardoned and sipping martinis on a beach right now
Problem for Manafort is that Trump has less incentive to pardon him after the verdict is read, since his cooperation won't get him much at that point. Waiting to get a pardon after a conviction is pretty risky.
Then again, if there were a subtle cooperation-pardon dance going on behind the scenes, we would probably see more tweets about Manafort, since Trump can't be subtle about anything. So maybe there is an arrangement already.
