Please, every person has his or her breaking point. They were going to throw this guy in jail forever. He has a family.
As for “cooperation” it consists of telling Mueller whatever he composes for Manafort to tell him.
Our justice system is being used to effectuate a coup d’etat. What are we going to do about it?
So he’s already been convicted and the only way to get off easier is to tell Mueller and team what they want to hear?
What a screwed up “justice system.” Nothing Manafort can do will change the crimes he’s convicted of. Our system is BROKEN.
Andrew Weismann should be in PRISON!!!
The guy is 70 years old and he was already convicted on a bunch of counts in the separate case in Virginia. His "cooperation" will be: "Yes, I did it."
President Trump’s status as an “un-indicted co-conspirator” will be broadcast just before the elections.
As if Manafort has anything damaging on President Trump.
The NYT has no F***** idea what the ‘Plea ‘ deal entails. Last week Manaforts lawyer said the ‘Plea Deal’ was a straight up, plead guilty for less time.
No-name??

Prosecutor: Manafort personally met with a member of Congress who had oversight of Ukraine relationship. Then prepared a report on meeting that was sent to Yanukovych.

Nice modification you've got there. Can only be added by someone with no skin in the game.
I can’t blame him one bit.
How did he flip? You must think Trump is guilty.
BS. Who says he is flipping?
Jokes on them, Manafort has nothing
Not. Even. Worried.
If Manafort had anything on Trump, he’d have given it up.
Flips about what. Please tell us.
There’s an interesting reaction in the media. There are 2 possibilities for the investigation
1) Mueller is out to get Trump. He wouldn’t make a deal without dirt on Trump.
2) Mueller’s goal is to do a thorough but honest report. He would make a deal for any information that leads to a better report whether the info helps or hurts Trump.
Since liberal media are assuming this deal must contain dirt on Trump, they must assume Mueller has a goal of getting Trump, not of delivering a thorough and honest report.
(yes, there are many possibilities in the middle, but the media probably is going off one of these assumptions, especially if they make major inferences from a deal they have no details about)
At this point we know there was no Russian hacking of the election let alone “collusion”. The fact that Mueller is still pulling a pay check from the federal government is embarrassing for the entire country.
Trump has been very generous to Manafort.
Manafort needs to not hop on the Make Stuff Up Bandwagon.
The Trump Train is much better for him.
Agreed to do what for a reduced sentence? Throw Trump under the Russian bus??? Huh???
