The left is no longer denying their double standards.

So, this is the way it works? They bust Manafort for something that he did well before Trump even declared as a candidate and then try to reduce/exonerate his sentence by getting him to give up dirt on Trump? Some judicial system we have here.
Gee, to talk about what “crimes”?
The crime of encouraging someone to expose Hillary Clinton’s crimes?
I guess if you’re Bob Mueller, that IS a crime.
The rest of us think of it as a public service.
Testify against Trump how? If he truly knows of a impeachable crime Trump has committed, then by all means he should say so. Otherwise, they’re coercing a lie out of Manafort.
Mulehead wants Manafort to “compose” not testify.
Corrected title:
“Mueller Hoping Manafort Will Choose to ‘Lie’ Against Trump”
Am I missing something? Why would someone make up a lie in hopes of leniency against the one person who values loyalty and can make everything go away with a quick signature? I’m sorry, but I don’t think Manafort nor Cohen have anything on Trump. It would make no sense to be the hero of the left and try to sink him. Trump is their only chance of commuting their sentences or granting pardons. I want the guilty to serve time but let’s not worry about the small potatoes.

Not hardly - because if they get away with it, they'll be coming for us Trump supporters with their corrupt government next.
Root and branch.
I don’t think Trump owes him anything, since I don’t think Manafort has an dirt on Trump to withhold.
Manafort will be pardoned. As he should be.
There is probable cause to believe that Paul Manafort stole $700K from Mr. Trump. One of the three rules of the Universe is: “Don’t steal from Mr. Trump.”
Then there was the strange and murky case of Left Hand Enterprises LLC. In May 2016, after Manafort joined the campaign, and before they fired Corey, the campaign operated on two separate budgets. Corey oversaw the funds in one, and Manafort managed the other. Soon after the campaign hired Manafort, his budget quickly cut successive checks totaling over $700,000 to a newly formed Delaware company that was supposed to provide direct mail to Nebraska and Indiana. Whether or not the mailing found its way to those states, or to any other location, is still up for debate. What is known is that Left Hand LLC had a mailing address at a farm in Virginia that just happened to be the voting residence of Manafort’s former business partner.
The complete story of the Left Hand incident has never been fully resolved. But the amount of $700,000 for a mailing that no one knows for sure ever happened is something that a guy with the initials DJT will not soon forget.

Having worked for Trump for only a few months during the campaign, I find it a bit sketchy that Manafort would know anything particularly valuable dirt-wise about Trump. Thus, this does not strike me as that potentially fruitful a strategy. It (Mueller’s prosecution) is perfectly able to destroy Manafort’s life, however, nobody should have any delusions in that department.
Funny - the very people who claim torture is morally reprehensible, should be outlawed and doesn’t work anyway see nothing wrong with using the courts and legal threats to try to turn those like Manafort to testify against the objects of their vendettas, like Trump......
Can anyone please explain to me how a prosecutor can threaten a potential witness with great financial loss, or even imprisonment, and then, offering a deal to avoid those things if he provides certain testimony, how exactly is that not bribing a witness?
“Mueller Bribes Manafort to Lie about POTUS, Offers Immunity from Perjury Prosecution”
Alan Dershowitz said that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is hoping that Paul Manafort will opt to testify against the president, rather than face a lengthy prison sentence.Testify to what Alan?
Sorry Alan but I'm beginning to think you're as much a lunatic as Mueller and everyone else with a law degree.
Manafort sticks to his plan, Trump pardons him, heads explode.
I thought this was obvious for some time.
I think the plan is for Mueller to find something/anything against President Trump and then find that President Trump has obstructed justice.
Mueller has to do this before the mid-term elections in order to help the Dems take the House. And if the Dims control the House then they will impeach President Trump sometime next year so that President Trump won’t run for reelection. I’ve thought that has been the plan all along.
Also, there are some GOPe swamp creatures like Romney and Paul Ryan who are hoping this happens so they can run for President in 2020.
The key is for the Dims to take the House. Then everything will fall into place.
