    Oh, so he DOES know this fella Paul Manafort? Or maybe he's just appalled that a tax cheat might see justice.https://twitter.com/ABCPolitics/status/1030471634145107969 …

        Incidentally, I bitch a lot about people missing the collusion forest for the obstruction trees. But if Trump pardons Manafort after having preemptively offering it, then I'm rushing to the head of the obstruction train.

        For some reason, the jury has me very nervous today. Trump is part of the MOB and we know how the MOB works.

        He states this specifically when the jury is currently deliberatingin the Manafort case? For all students in middle school taking a Civics class, this is a perfect example of obstruction of justice! ⚖️🗽🇺🇸

        So many things happening in this country that are genuinely sad, if not tragic. Declining fortunes of people like Manafort not among them, not even close. It will not be a happy day when we are rid of this pustulent boil, b/c we have so much repair work to do, but it'd be a start

        Should he be commenting on a trial with on-going deliberation? I thought one former POTUS made a single comment and got nailed for opening his mouth.

        It's important to pardon Manafort to remind all others to shut up if they want to be protected.

        He's right, it's a sad day for our country. A man cheated and stole thousands if not millions of dollars from its' citizens and there are probably thousands more like him. Trump?
