The states can always get them for tax stuff too.

Even if Trump would like to pardon them just to spite Mueller, they probably need to serve some time to trigger state double jeopardy laws.

It will take the next six years, and then some, to remake the Republican party and rid it of people like Cornyn, Thune, Collins, Alexander, et. al.

Never going to happen. Delusional thinking.

Manafort is being punished for his association with Trump, as a warning to others who may someday support a swamp fighter.

Had he not volunteered to work for Trump he would be a free man today, unknown to most of us here.

They want to boost their anti-Trump street cred for their peers.

It’d be silly to pardon Manafort now. He hasn’t been sentenced and has another trial coming. It does suck knowing that if he hadn’t joined Team Trump he’d be in the clear today and thats in large part a message the DSers want to send...don’t hitch your car to the Trump Train or you will pay a price.

“Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), a prominent moderate”

There no such thing as a baby murder loving moderate.

Just the usual suspects. Ignore them, Mr President. Do whatever YOU think is right, and we’ll support your decision.

Susan appeals to suburban women in Philly, Arlington, Texas subs. I’d vote for Susan anyday. You need the subs to win. Suburbs or bust.

The RINOS cited in this article are all responsible for the fact that Mueller us getting away with this in b the first place.
Cornyn is one of John Boehner’s boys. Thune hates Trump and Collins is a liberal idiot.

They all belong in prison with the Mueller gang and Hillary, waiting execution for treason.

He should commute the sentence after the midterms. He could always pardon at later date. Judge may give him time served and fines.

“Unfortunately, the few mistakes he has made will eventually bring him down”

Trump needs to shut up, turn the Twitter machine off and hire the best specialized lawyers he can get.

The leftists and globalists are seriously malevolent and should not be taken lightly.

They are worse than worthless.

I have more respect for Maxine Waters than I do for these cowards.

Isn’t anyone else getting tired of every story refering to Manafort as Trump’s campaign manager, yet never mentioning there were numerous campaign managers and Manafort was only active for TWO MONTHS?

PDJT will not pardon Manafort. He will commute his sentences.

I sent money to Thune when he ran against D’asshole. Sadly he couldn’t wait to become d’asshole.

That sucks. He looked like a solid guy. He’s been an utter disgrace on so many levels.
