1. So now, what happens to him?

[triron]

2. More importantly, how might this point to conspiracy against the US and eventurally TREASON.

[Codeine]

4. It won't,

but you know that.

[watoos]

8. It certainly points to collusion,

and when we find out what Gates has told Mueller about the cigar bar meeting it will point to criminal conspiracy.
This judge's ruling affirms that the Trump administration colluded with a Russian spy.

9. I still call it treason.

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.


May be difficult to prove in court but it fits the definition.

[Codeine]

16. It doesn't,

but you know that.

7. He dies in jail, unless Trump pardons him.

Rachel Maddow just explained how not only can Mueller now use Manafort's statements against him to convict him, but the finding that he lied will allow his sentence to be increased.

3. He lied because he expects the pardon...

I guess you can say anything if you think it won't matter in the long run.

[BigmanPigman]

5. If he is pardoned he may not go to jail

but isn't he afraid of Putin's chef and his polonium chicken recipe? I hear it is to die for.

[malaise]

11. He's in jail now

May he rot there

[Grasswire2]

13. if he is pardoned, he will also have to tell the truth before grand jury if subpoenaed.

Right?

[BigmanPigman]

15. I doubt he will ever tell the truth

regardless of subpoenas and perjury charges.

[Marie Marie]

6. I hope it means that his prison garb will now be his permanent and only wardrobe choice.

10. I Keep Coming Back To Trump's Written Responses To Mueller's Questions

He submitted those answers BEFORE Mueller sprung the trap on Manafort (and while Manafort was still bragging about pulling the wool over Mueller's eyes). So if this Judge has found that Manafort lied intentionally, multiple times, and concerning matters that were material to the investigation..............and Trump's answers match Manafort's answers exactly (as you know they will)............

You see where I'm going with this.

[triron]

12. I think so. Trump is screwed royally.

[Grasswire2]

14. May it be so. nt
