Yep, didn’t help my confidence in his innocence when he went that route.
While it does bother me that Clinton and company haven’t been taken to task, I’m not convinced Manafort wasn’t guilty here.
If he evaded taxes and got caught, Trump shouldn’t pardon him.

How do you argue/defend against tax evasion that was plain as day? Put Manafort on the stand and claim ignorance? The government lawyers would make mincemeat out of him. Does not work in relation to the law (Especially if the subject is not related to illegally entering the United States which ignorance is excused by a lot of idiots in power and those that support them).
Al Capone got away with multiple murders/extortion/bootlegging/prostitution/gambling, etc..., but not tax evasion. There is no defense against that unless you want to simplify the process through the ballot box (Too many idiots vote for a convoluted system), wealthy enough to create a "charitable" foundation, or start the American Revolution: Part II.

“Should have mounted a defense.”
No kidding. I suspect that is the question he asking his defense team right now.
