When you see the list of allegations against Manafort, it's not outlandish to think that Manafort was sent to work for the Trump campaign specifically as part of a Podesta-orchestrated strategy to undermine Trump.

Heck -- I wouldn't be shocked if a pardon from future president Hillary Clinton was offered in exchange for his cooperation.

If he’s doing it so he can clear the Podestas Manafort has to play along. I don’t think he will. Otherwise he would have already cut a deal. No?

Or Manafort was sent to insure Hillary’s “preferred opponent” got through the RNC convention on top.

Well, that did NOT work out as planned. Hillary planned wrong. Now what? What if Mueller wants to clear his name by taking Hillary et. al. down? The lawyers he hired know where the skeletons are and they are hired guns.

This may be the classic battle we read about in books. The battle between good and evil, lawless vs. lawful. The question, who is on whose side? Time will tell.
