When will Manafort figure out Trump is playing him?

Trump will not pardon Manafort because it will not be in his best interest. Trump wants Manafort to think he is going to pardon him so he keeps his mouth shut.

Trump may want to pardon him, that's why he is talking to his lawyers. He is trying to figure out how it all works. Trump is like a broken fucking record. He will always try to figure what is in his best interest.

But there is too much evidence for this one. Just like any mob criminal knows he can easily be killed in prison, Manafort knows that Putin or the Ukrainians would assasinate him- and/or his family - out if he talked.

The real reason he will never "flip" is because the Russian Mafia would kill his family for a thousand generations.

He won't turn. I don't even think the witness protection program would help him. In jail, or on the streets. If he turns, he's a dead man.
