If it's about Trump, it's irrelevant to Manafort's crimes. If it's relevant to Manafort's crimes, it's irrelevant to Trump. If Mueller, at Manafort's sentencing, spouts off about Trump he risks pissing off the judge which could affect Manafort's sentence. Do you really think Mueller will take that chance? Also, there is the aspect of revealing confidential information from an investigation. I'm thinking Mueller is smart enough to not do something that'll get the judge or DOJ pissed off at him.
Cevallos is spouting nonsense and all of the useful idiots are sucking in that nonsense.
You are talking about a President that has and has had 32 separate Joint Defense Agreements with various charlatans, liars, cheats, grafters and outright thugs WHILE IN OFFICE AS PRESIDENT. All of them and I do mean all of them touch the campaign or Trump's Executive in some way.
As it turns out the one thing we said would drive Trump absolutely to distraction has made his entire team including some of his allies and their legal teams trip over their dicks.
There was no longer a Joint Defense Agreement between Trump and Manafort once Manafort plead out because Manafort no longer had a Defense. All of the machinations the Trump team has gone through about what is or what is not Obstruction, what is or what is not attorney/client privilege and what is or is not Executive Privilege who colluded and/or conspired or whether there was collusion or conspiracy just all went right down the toilet because Donald simply could not stand the pressure of Mueller's silence, could not take the pressure of a prosecutor who only spoke through his court filings. Trump stumbled right into the Bow of the Mueller Submarine and everybody that was involved in that charade of Manafort's attorneys running to the Trump legal team to spill the beans for and to the anxiously salivating Donald after Manafort plead out is in serious legal trouble. Rudy is even in trouble now as is Kevin Donnelly and anybody else involved in this charade. They have all outsmarted themselves trying to satisfy Mob Boss Donald's anxiety over knowing exactly what Mueller had.
As for the Manafort sentence, while I seriously doubt Mueller will damage the Manafort sentence regardless of what is in the filing he will make on Manafort's lies, Manafort appears to be angling for a Pardon though he has got to be out of his mind:
A) Nobody but nobody can trust Donald as far as they can throw him. So no matter how much dangling Donald does, a Pardon may not be forthcoming regardless of how much ball washing Manafort has tried
B) If pardoned, Manafort faces multiple State Charges for crimes that he has already plead out to and a Federal Prison is a Sunday Garden Club compared to a State Pen. The best he gets out of this is slam dunked into a Federal Pen. The worst he gets is poisoned by Russian Agents and since Trump has had no interest in dealing with Putin or MBS or KJU or any other tyrant he lapdog's to, it might happen right here on US soil! In the middle of those two extremes Manafort gets slam dunked into a State Pen instead of Federal Pen. I am sure he will like that so much more,
Manafort for his part has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he has been grafting and lying and cheating and stealing for so long that he simply knows no other way even when continuing to graft and lie and cheat and steal simply keeps him wriggling on a hook that is further set each time he wriggles. I suspect we will see this same phenomenon repeated with Stone and Corsi and likely Donald himself. Corsi might save himself simply because he is at least a Sam Numberg level kook if not loonier. Corsi might just be sent off to some institution designed to deal with the elderly, infirm and permanently kooky.
