Opinion | Glenn Kirschner: A Trump pardon won't keep Paul Manafort out of jail — New York can make sure of it - NBCNewsTHINK

against Manafort in the event Trump pardons Manafort for his federal crimes. According to reports, he is doing this in such a way that the charges would avoid running afoul of New York’s double jeopardy law. Some might see this as heavy-handed, bordering on unfair.

committed over the course of more than ten years. If Trump pardoned him, it would be hard to view that as a just result. Unusual though it would be to try Manafort again in a state court for largely similar offenses, it would be in the public interest and would promote, not undermine, the cause of justice.

Recall also that Manafort attempted to cooperate with Mueller, only to have a federal judge conclude that, even as an aspiring cooperating witness, Manafort lied to the Mueller investigators about matters that were central to the special counsel’s investigation. Why is this important? During his cooperation, Manafort very likely told Mueller things that were damaging to the president.

NBCNewsTHINK BRAVO!! Don’t let criminals get pardons!! Especially when linked to Trump!!

NBCNewsTHINK Ummm Trump hasn't offered or mentioned a pardon.

NBCNewsTHINK With a pardon and good lawyers Paul Manafort could make bail, fight the Manhattan courts for several years- and potentially win the case. Don’t count the old snake out just yet! He’s kept quiet about crimes that Trump has committed and now he wants his pardon.

NBCNewsTHINK These two cases just prove that there is two justice systems in America. One for rich white people & another for the rest of us. 7.5 years (-9 months served & more off for good behavior) for defrauding banks, working for foreign gov'ts, just wrist slaps.

NBCNewsTHINK Thank god
