What could Paul Manafort share with Mueller? A lot, potentially.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Paul Manafort was once one of the most significant players in Donald Trump’s world, and now he’s cooperating with federal prosecutors in the ongoing Russia investigation. That could be a big deal.

Manafort’s brief tenure as the head of Trump’s campaign overlapped with concerns about Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, he’s got high-level connections to Russia in his own right, and he’s a key link to the president as one of the highest-ranking Trump campaign officials ensnared in the investigation.

Manafort pleaded guilty Friday to tax fraud, lobbying fraud and obstruction of justice charges. In exchange for potential sentencing leniency, he will be a witness for special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, who is leading the investigation into Russia election interference.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders quickly distanced Trump from Manafort. “This had absolutely nothing to do with the President or his victorious 2016 Presidential campaign," she said in a statement. "It is totally unrelated.”

1. I hope he has info, but why wouldn't he have spilled it long ago

in an attempt to get off completely? Maybe he thought he’d get off with a hung jury in first trial, or something. But, he doesn’t appear to have gained much in this second matter by agreeing to cooperate, whatever that means.

2. In all 'fairness' there are many trumpsters who we

could say, 'why didn't they, long ago _________, ________?

One explanation, is that many of the trumpsters, who like trump, are ignorant and incompetent, and unable to do competent things.

3. That's an explanation as is him expecting to win at trial.

Fear is an explanation, as is hopes of a pardon.

Another explanation is that he really doesn’t have anything regarding the election worthy of dropping all charges, putting him in witness protection, etc. I hope the latter isn’t the case, but if he had that info Mueller would have offered him that sweet deal.
