    They are openly winking to Manafort that if he just sits tight and keeps his mouth shut that Trumper will take care of him just “Not at this time” (wink) (wink)

    I think it just means that rudi has no idea what he’s talking about as usual.

  4. Trump won’t pardon him, he needs a ‘bestie’ when he goes to join him in prison.

  5. Does not matter if Spanky gives Manafort a pardon. If Manafort failed to claim his total income on the Fed tax form he certainly did not claim all his income on his state tax form either. The state can go after him for tax evasion also.
