      Wondering if anyone wants to start a betting line on what date Paul Manafort will flip.

      Weirdly, I suppose, I'm guessing he won't (though he may plead guilty). I wonder if he's done so much bad shit and is so untrustworthy that it may not be worth it.

      My white collar criminal attorney father disagrees with this, so I'm going with him!

      Disagrees with that? That he won't flip? I definitely see that side of things.

      My dad thinks that Mueller will definitely at least try to get him to flip, no matter how much bad shit he's done and how untrustworthy he is. Cited Sammy the Bull.

      And you're now siding with Dad? I think that's right. Though definitely see why Manafort might not do it. At some point, though, he's going to run out of $$ to pay lawyers. If he hasn't already.

          You know how Hobbits have second breakfasts and elevensies? Manfort's that way putting up his properties as collateral. Or wants to be.

          Sammy Bull was a rat. John Gotti did his time, like cosa nostra.

          Maybe once his daughter gets subpoenaed.

          Yeah, definitely trust his expertise over mine. I also see why Manafort may not be very motivated to do it.

          If he doesn’t flip he risks a jury trial. If he takes a pardon he faces state court charges. Smart move is absolutely to flip.
