If he's out of jail, and on the street, he won't last long. And he despises being penniless. Shootin' the breeze and telling stories to the Feds is a lot more like his old life than a cell in Marion, IL, or living as Al Schmidtface in Sheboygan.

... Manafort was an adviser to the U.S. presidential campaigns of Republicans Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and Bob Dole. In 1980, he co-founded the Washington, D.C.-based lobbying firm Black, Manafort & Stone, along with principals Charles R. Black Jr., and Roger J. Stone,[3][4][5] joined by Peter G. Kelly in 1984.[6]

Manafort often lobbied on behalf of foreign leaders such as former President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych, former dictator of the Philippines Ferdinand Marcos, former dictator of Zaire Mobutu Sese Seko, and Angolan guerrilla leader Jonas Savimbi.[7][8][9] Lobbying to serve the interests of foreign governments requires registration with the Justice Department under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA); however, as of June 2, 2017, Manafort had not registered.[10][11][12] On June 27, he retroactively registered as a foreign agent.[13] ...

My guess is that he'd be treated much like a high-value defector.

He can tell stories from "the old days", and the the archives will be a hive of cross-checking and updating. Manafort may not be full - on BFEE, but he knows some people....

Because MAGA campaign was the Ukraine campaign, updated, and Manafort was the architect of both...he dropped off the blueprint before he left.

4.2 million of laundered, undisclosed money for a fucking report, reported as 11,000? Why hide the huge real amount, and not just to avoid taxes...to avoid the revelation of the Manafort-Putin-
Yanukovych Connection.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Yanukovych

In exile in Russia and wanted for high treason in Ukraine.

What does Manafort know about the hacked DNC and Podesta emails leaked by Russia to Wikileaks?

Everything....I believe!

A trapped genius...

And regarding Pence...if Putin chose Trump it is only logical he would send his other lackey Manafort, the confirmed electoral genius, to do some on the ground level domestic intel and advise and choose the alternative poodle...Pence.

Was he paid for that, also?
