Most likely is because Trump just loves to throw around these pardons like they are candy. Trump would be extremely stupid if he does, but then again wouldn't put it past him because he has a habit of doing stupid things anyway.

If he gets away then the hole system is crab.

Won't matter whrn state charges him anyways. Hes a fool and probably has some horrible secret he need a to keep until his death in state prison.

Wt makes you think he lied this is a dam trap our justice department is broken riged in the prosecutors favor from traffic on up it’s a money making scheme

I personally think that Manafort is scared of Russian operatives, his life and that of his family. Putin is a killer!

You know he is. Everybody knows he is.

WikiLeaks has launched a legal fund to sue the Guardian for publishing what it calls an “entirely fabricated story” that alleged Paul Manafort held secret talks with founder Julian Assange in the Ecuadorian embassy. Declassifying documents will show the crimes by Meuller

Scary thing is! if The Mueller Team can call out the lies they already know the truth. Manafort not looking for a pardon, he know it's safer for him in prison rather than rat on those Russian. That parr was established long before Putin started selecting trump cabinet members

Bingo

Even Stevie wonder knows that ...

The Trump Mafia feels they can get away with anything.

I doubt it. I think the whole group of privileged idiots are just so used to 'getting away' with breaking the law that they still think they can squeak by. I don't think they can help themselves. Not an excuse. Just an example of privilege hitting reality head-on.

hardball Forget that I want Trump to bring out all the papers on Obama's crew enough of this BS

hardball Yes. Next question. ImpeachTrump impeachpence Resist

What lie ? When ? Where is the whole story?

Let's just assume and have a childish emotional reaction to this story rather than wait for facts. Rumors are news, not facts, thank you media oligarchs. FactsAreRacist BigScaryOrangeManBad

hardball PMSNBC aka is reporting speculation and not real news!

Of course, by prior agreement... can you say Obstruction of Justice?

Prez can’t pardon that Virginia case.

Is speculations what news organizations do now? Remember when News was news and not gossips What about the lies of Mr Strokz. McCabe Comey. If President Trump pardons Manafort then report it then.

He will also face state charges.

The Trump mob at work here.

Maybe he took the plea just to get info to Trump about the line of questioning all along having been promised a pardon by Trump?

He has been found guilty & convicted on state charges; the POTUS has no jurisdiction over what the state does, & therefore can't PARDON Manafort from state prison. Can we end this nonsense on this question. The sensationalism of this mess is over. He is going to prison!

Manafort is not banking on a pardon. He is afraid of being poisoned and his family being killed by foreign agents.

Maybe there is no collusion and he refuses to make something up. witchhunt

Guaranteed Trump pardons

hardball One of the conditions in accepting a pardon is to admit your guilt and then testify truthfully when asked. All we need is Manafort's testimony and Trump will go down.

If realDonaldTrump pardons Manafort, he will prove beyond a doubt that he is the dumbest man ever to hold the office of POTUS. MAGA

Yes

Let’s speculate.

One Criminal pardons another!

Hillary lied to several times to the FBI and under oath to Congress, so if the corrupt FBI held Manafort to the same standard, he'd walk free - without so much as even a $25 fine.

Why would a President pardon a known criminal who cheated the government and people out of millions of dollars and was convicted? I guess an honourable President wouldn't do that but one who is a criminal himself would!

He tried to contact witnesses while in prison. His lying to Mueller doesn't surprise me.

Off course & let it be constitutional crisis

hardball

No Manafort simply fears what the mob can do to his family more than MuellerTime will do to him.

Then why all the money spent if he just gets to walk? My son was driving without a rear-view mirror, the police were behind him trying to get him to pull over, his music was loud so he didn't and now he has a FELONY evade! No one coming to pardon him...

crimes, lies and hopefully VIDEO TAPE....

If so, why are his lawyers disputing that he lied? Just for the added drama?

Stop dreaming Manafort! Trump will give pardons only to those with the last name Trump

Most definately.

There should be limits to presidential pardons!

hardball If this is how pardons are used then I’m afraid 😱 America has a long way to recover from trumps insanity

Yes, and he will be lucky to get it. Trump won't risk his ass.

He's still on the hook for mounds of state charges. What good does a pardon do? I think Manafort and Trump coordinated their stories and Mueller has proof both stories are lies. This is an international criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States.

BREAKING. Guess whose CAMPAIGN MANAGER met with Julian Assange in the Ecuadorian Embassy PresidentNoCollutsion

Looks like it. No other reason to lie
