After Bob Mueller broke the plea deal with Manafort, the news came out Manafort's attorneys had been conversing with Trump's lawyers to tell them what Mueller's team was looking for and the questions asked. Even thought this is technically legal, it may eventually come back to haunt Trump as a form of obstruction of justice.
Today Trump said a pardon for Manafort wasn't off the table, literally telling Manafort to keep quiet and he could expect a pardon. Unfortunately for Manafort, Trump cannot pardon him from any charges filed by the state. Will he pardon Manafort, or will he throw him under the bus as is his MO?
A potential pardon might raise another question. Will the states move in with their charges if he is pardoned from the federal charges?
GA
I'd bet so, GA. He's flaunted the law with his money laundering among other things.
Stay tuned for the next episode of .......... "The Twilight Zone of The Trump Deranged "...........Sunday at Nine E.S.T .
That's the biggest problem with "Perjury Traps" .............
Pardons Pens !
Yep, perjury traps are a myth, ED. I realize you too know Trump cannot tell the truth for any length of time.
Randy, for people who consider every word spoken by Trump as their political opponent a lie , I suppose ya !
Trump must have lied .
Because he actually spoke ?

POTUS attorneys were supposedly asked if he can pardon aides, family and himself. Why would that be necessary?

Well boys and girls, we've finally reached the point of a PPOTUS claiming he's above the law. Even Rudy said Spanky could shoot James Comey and not be charged for it. I hope the Spanky voters finally realize we have a dictator wannabe who feels he's better than anyone else. I think he's gonna be...

Paul Manafort--already in deep doo doo--is in further jeopardy because of his repeated lies to Robert Mueller's investigators after he signed an agreement to cooperate with the probe. He seems to be betting all of his chips on a pardon from Trump by breaking the deal. The reasons for Mueller's move...
