Can you speak a little to pardons? Wouldn't it serve Manafort to simply remain silent and wait for his pardon?
I'd be shocked if he got one. The campaign tossed him as soon as they realized what a liability he was (he hadn't been fully honest in his disclosures and the vetting was half assed).
Notice that while Trump is tweeting things about Hillary/Dems, there's not been support for Manafort anywhere. He's pissed that Manafort put him in such a position - also pissed at people who didn't vet it out better last summer.
Truthfully Manafort clearly broke the law trying to hide money. You'll get busted for that almost every time these days. I suspect anyone else who did it close to this investigation is going to go down for it. Also those who perjured themselves. The g-men (and women) don't like being lied to very much.
