He and Gates weren’t afraid.....they still are

Why do you think Gates flipped so hard and so fast?

Lord knows what the fates have in store for Manafort. All those monsters he’s worked for are going to seem like Girl Scouts when Putin decides the clock has run out for the man who made his nut pandering at the feet of some of the modern world’s most egregious psychopaths.

Once people lose their usefulness, Putin likes Polonium-210

13. Victor Yushchenko was poisoned with dioxin, and Manafort was well aware.

Despite the poisoning, Yushchenko’s supporters carried him to victory in the 2004 presidential race, and the reformer put the country on a path to joining the European Union and the NATO military alliance. But these efforts were soon reversed.

With guidance from Manafort and backing from Moscow, the Party of Regions made an astonishing comeback over the next five years, culminating in Yanukovych’s successful bid for the presidency in 2010. Among the first official acts of his tenure was to legally bar Ukraine from seeking NATO membership – a move that effectively granted Russia one of its core geopolitical demands.

Two guests agree that he’s much more afraid of what certain Russian intelligence assets might have up their sleeves than anything the American Judicial system can do to him

Wonder if/when this will become a thing

How can it be more obvious?

I think he will refuse to flip and will do his time. I'm betting he's afraid Putin's reach extends anywhere Manafort can go and he doesn't want to be found with a high polonium level.
