lest the Russians get to him first.

They will get his wife and family though. Like we should feel sorry for them. Paul Manafort should have thought about them before all of this. He is at fault here.

... the question is whether Putin will take revenge on his wife and 2 daughters.
If Manafort flips - then yes.
If he doesn't flip - then who knows...

... from Putin. Putin wants chaos, dysfunction and confusion in the US, and Manafort flipping on Trump helps that immensely. Putin doesn’t really care if the Russians are also fingered in the probe since that’s already a given. In fact, I think he’s kind of proud of what they did and how effective it was.

I suppose the Trump gang might put out a hit on paulie, but they would probably give the contract to Larry and his two brothers Daryl and Darrel. Not too much to be worried about there.

He'll flip and be put in the witness protection program , as no prison would be safe for him, and the people he worked with will soon be after him. He knows too much. He'd have a price on his head in prison if he talks , or not. Cohen on the other hand is really screwed after the raid, and this guy has tons of information on many people that'll bring them down with him. And we thought the last circus closed down. Its now snowballing against them, and they're getting even more desperate, every day trying to redirect attention away from this. Stock up on popcorn and refreshments , trump may have his people floating resignation soon, and a deal.
