Oh, By The Way, There is NO WAY IN HELL "Unindicted Co-Conspirator" Trump Will Pardon Cohen

Especially after Cohen named him as an unindicted co-conspirator. Manafort, maybe. But no way in hell will he give Cohen a pardon now.

And as for Manafort's pardon? Bring it! NY State will indict Manafort in A heartbeat and put him in a STATE Prison, which is way worse than club fed. So BRING ON THE PARDON YOU SHIT BAG.

Plus, he might be a possible fall guy for Trump to blame for outreach attempts to get a Trump Tower Moscow during 2016 when Trump denied any business dealings with Russia during campaign.

because Cohen could then be forced to testify against Trump -- he would no longer be able to decline to answer questions on the grounds it would also incriminate himself.
