Since when has the Imbecile given a damn about optics? Besides, what's gonna happen? And don't say "impeachment" because that ain't happening.

But then again, pretty much everything Trump does has horrible optics to a majority of voters. Also, I'm sure Mueller has considered the possibility that Trump will pardon Manafort. In that case, it wouldn't be surprising if state prosecutors in Virginia, New York, or elsewhere have already been shared evidence against Manafort that could be prosecuted at the state level.

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Meh, he will pardon manafort, and we'll get distracted by some other bullshit a week later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 He just can't stop commiting crimes. Quote after at least a dozen sessions interrogating him, the special counsel’s prosecutors have not only decided Mr. Manafort does not deserve leniency, but they also could seek to refile other charges that they had agreed to dismiss as part of the plea deal. I guess a pardon is his only option, but I imagine he'll quickly be charged with state crimes as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Trump behaving badly is already priced into the stock. I don’t think there is anything that can help or hurt him electorally at this point, and to date the courts are the only thing that have been a governance obstacle for him.
