After announcing he would, Manafort does NOT register as a foreign agent

for accepting the money from ("the ledger&quot the Ukrainian Putin puppet Manafort helped install. (Watching TRMS.)

Why wouldn't he register after the fact like Flynn did? What am I missing as his rationale for not registeting? Is someone blackmailing him into not registering? Is he going to take the big fall?

Rachel followed up with the possibility that he is getting help from Sessions and the DOJ. Also said that doing so could lead to more info about him coming out - thereby giving investigators and/or press more leads.

I hope the FBI turned him, though I don't want him to get off lightly. He's maybe not as close to the center of the web as Flynn was, but I'm sure he could bring down some folks in the White House.
