If Manafort were to tell everything he knew about Trump Tower meeting?

The whole bunch of them would be up shit creek without a paddle.

Not only Don Jr and Jared, but Donald, Ivanka, Hope, and the whole sordid crowd.

Maybe he is just waiting for the right deal? But he is in so deep that Mueller cannot make such a deal with him? In my opinion, Manafort knows a lot about Donald's financial dealings.

But, it does seem that a lot of this story hinges on what happened in that meeting in Trump Tower in June of 2016?

Mueller is having trouble flipping him because he knows that if he sings, he'll be dead within a week of getting out of jail, so for him, life in prison isn't so bad.

I wouldn't rule out Manafort as the gold mine on money laundering, through the hotels, the Miss Universe operation, and the NRA.

known Trump presidency is over...a lifting of the sanctions in return for helping to elect him and payment from the many oil deals Tillis was brought onboard to orchestrate.
