Manafort lied for Trump and now he has to sit in jail for 7+ years. Do you think he'll be pissed now and come back and expose Trump?
Jared and Donald Jr both were at the Trump Tower meeting along with Manafort. Manafort is the only one in jail. Do you think he'll fink on them now?

(44,208 posts)Trump got what he wanted from Manafort, I doubt Trump gives a shit about him now.

(25,183 posts)Presuming the whole report is pretty much summed up by Barr's Cliff Notes version of it, he now knows that Trump has the way clear to pardon him (Flynn may get one, too) and not suffer any blowback from the Republicon Senators for it. Trump will just call them unfortunate victims of the witch hunt against him, and say that it is "unfair" (one of the orange turd's favorite words) that they were ensnared by a "bogus" attempt to frame him, and that a pardon/commutation is the right thing to do.
The base will love it.
