That decision (to skip a defense in court) doesn’t make much sense to me.
Unless — the fix is in !
If the prosecution proves your innocence, why waste the Jury’s time?

I agree. But just who would Manafort call to testify in his defense? It’s not obvious to me. And there is no way that he is convicted given the evidence I’ve seen. And an intelligent jury. That’s the wild card.
I can see it.
1) Manafort’s guys think the judge has made Mulehead’s team look like idiots.
2) They think Mulehead has made Manafort look like a dupe, not a conspirator.
3) Probably any defense witness they put up would negate #2.
