reports are that Manafort is scheduled to plead guilty Friday prior to the next trial. It is unclear if he has agreed to cooperate or is simply conceding to a guilty plea.
Prior reports indicating that he was trying to negotiate a plea deal that would not require that he cooperate with Mueller.
For the true legal peas, once you plea guilty, how can you be eligible for a pardon? I suspect that he thinks that the sooner he pleas guilty, the sooner dump will pardon him. Also, if he does not go to trial, the less of his criminal activity will be revealed.

Also, if he does not go to trial, the less of his criminal activity will be revealed. One doesn’t even need to plead guilty to receive a presidential pardon. Once a crime is committed, the pardon can be granted at any time, even when charges have not yet been filed. If you recall the Nixon case, the House had not yet voted on the impeachment resolutions when he resigned. Formal charges had not been brought against him and about a month after he resigned Ford pardoned him.

One Republican senator said a senator nominated as attorney general would have to have a squeaky clean record of praise for Trump and estimated that perhaps only four members of the Senate would qualify, calling it a “pretty small universe” of candidates.That works. Like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Then the president’d have his pick of Conquest, War, Famine or Death as our chief lawyer. (Snicker.) Conquest would be my bet if they’re going for someone akin to Trump’s tendencies. This GOP’s full of it with their grand declarations about protecting Mueller and the rule of law. Just this summer, they were saying it’ll be a constitutional crisis if Sessions is fired and Trump better not do it (some farce about there’ll be "holy hell to pay"), and now it’s just wait until we confirm Kavanaugh and after midterms when you can fire whoever you want to fire. They don’t even bother to flinch anymore. Hapless and spineless, the lot of them.

imsirius , I don’t know nothin’ ‘bout no copyright, but the Jesuits made me take Metaphysics in college, so I’d just like to add that it is metaphysically certitudininous to me that you (along with Fred), are a tireless workhorse of this thread. Thanks for scores of tweets and memes that I have passed on. Lodestar. You forgot Lodestar!
