Manafort turned himself in. Now what?
|
Now we watch the repubs squirm. We watch the trump supporters on AF come up with a gazillion excuses for their beloved shitgibbon. And we watch more shit hit the fan as trump scrambles to dodge and evade the truth.
Go on, trump, play another round of golf. Or better yet, throw a twitter tantrum. Disclaimer: I am only responsible for what I say, not what you choose to understand.
Depends on the (alleged) criminal acts.
If they predate Manafort's involvement in the Trump campaign, then this is another tempest in a teapot situation. Unless the indictment provokes Trump into doing something that negates his (air tight at this point) chronological alibi. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
Charges include Conspiracy against the US, money laundering and false statements.

Of course, if Manafort subsequently learned of something during his tenure on team Trump, Manafort might have a 'get out of jail' card.
Presumably, it would have to be worse in regards to a bigger fish than what he's charged with so far . . . The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Wiser words were never spoken. 
What happens next, my prediction:
'If Obama hadn't destroyed the economy, Manafort wouldn't have been forced to launder money. And uranium, Benghazi, dossier, Whitewater, Lewinski, birth certificate. Shut up, lefties.' - Generic Trump Supporter. Boru

Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI. He’s gonna spill beans. It’s going down.

Except New York State is running a concurrent investigation. So Trump pardoning Manafort and his other cronies who may get charged and convicted doesn't necessarily hold water. They'll essentially have a choice between federal or state prison. Also, Vlady Putin will order a hit by poison umbrella or polonium tea on anyone who squeals on his oligarchs. -Teresa
