2. OK so he has to NOT be "president" by the time Manafort is convicted, right?

How can they make that happen? I am keeping the faith. By the time they get through with Manafort in court, I am envisioning DT in his jumpsuit. It's how I make it through the day.

6. Wonder how much of manafort's crimes are state and how much federal?

He can't pardon state, so manafort will still see the back side of the bars in prison.

Just so Manafort would know that Trump cannot save him. That would further freak Trump, too.

Manafort had two states after him so he couldn't be pardoned for those. He provided the names of the three states with a link but I can't find it now. These are federal crimes in the states (like Cohen and the moron are raided by NY FBI and the southern district of NY). It is for money laundering, tax evasion, etc basically. I don't remember if it is Virginia, Illinois, and Maryland or NY. I have a fever and can't think straight for very long.
