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 …

If Donald Trump pardons Paul Manafort, won't Paul Manafort be required to testify against Donald Trump?
Yes, but he can pardon the contempt when Manafort does not.
President can pardon criminal contempt but not civil contempt. So if the House flips, the blue house can subpoena a pardoned Manafort to testify, and Manafort can't raise the Fifth and can't be re-pardoned for contempt if he doesn't testify.
Which brings us to Congress' historic inability to hold witnesses in contempt if DOJ won't help them.
Obstruction junction, what's your function?
Also, wouldn't it be the conspiracy forest or the ConFraudUS forest?
Well, let's not overlook that money laundering for the Russian mob has probably been Trump's business mainstay since the late 90's, and is why Putin knew Trump would be a good tool.
More cases are ahead. Ppl were talking about this earlier. If Manny's pardoned he loses his 5th amendment rights and testimony is compelled in future cases. There are many future cases against Manny.
Manafort will still have to testify and face perjury/contempt charges in Russia probe. There will be an open window if this door closes. And if Trump pardons all crimes that pardon will not hold. "Related to impeachment." Trump will lose the war.
Trump, “He happens to be a very good person.” His daughters texted about how Manafort routinely forced his wife into gang bangs, aka, gang rape.
For all we know Trump offered him a pardon thru a back channel and this trial is a farce.
The public is generally uninformed on witness tapering/pardon offers. Mueller has DJT in a box. Legal mismatch of Western civilization
This is reassuring. I hope it’s true!
Pardons cement obstruction. Especially the countless, daisy chain variety. He’s accosted all interviewed by Mueller. His team believes they have exposure. We will learn a lot more about pardon offers, especially. As Marcy says, it’s about conspiracy, in turn obstruction
I think this is right. Dowd had to quit b/c he was caught preemptively shopping pardons.
Republican controlled House won't impeach even for obstruction
If Trump pardons Manafort on the tax evasion charge won’t he still have to pay the back taxes? Not the penalties or interest but the tax itself.
And does Manafort's accountant get her job back ?
Oh I'm guessing she loses the certification part of certified public accountant. Kind of like a lawyer getting disbarred or a doctor losing their medical license.
But why was she fired ?
