Unlike Cohen, ‘Brave’ Manafort cannot flip without potentially double-crossing Putin and his oligarchs. Flipping on Trump is nothing compare to double-crossing Putin.

and most likely his family too. It is highly unlikely Manafort will flip.

Manafort is a dead man walking. He's safer in prison. And even in prison, he'll have to watch his back. But he can't protect his family.

Manafort's Russian links would require him to live like Bubble Boy with a food taster to survive 6 mos if he spilled the beans.

His taking over the campaign was the signal that both sides were all in to put the Dotard in the WH.

Trump asking the Russians to hack Hillary was confirmation from his own mouth to them to open all lines of attack.
