Why indeed?

1. Because he's guilty AF

2. So Trump thinks Capone was persecuted, too? The guy is just completely devoid of ethics.

[vlyons]

3. Why? Because he's an idiot fool, who understands nothing

especially the law.

4. Brit, what I want to know is why do you routinely defend a filthy fucking traitor?

[wishstar]

5. Maybe point is Trump wants Manafort to think if he doesn't flip he might get a pardon

when in reality, Trump will likely soon try to pin all the Russian conspiracy wrongdoing on Manafort, Gates, Stone, and others who are likely to be indicted and assert his innocence just as Manafort is trying to blame Gates for all the criminality.

Trump keeps moving goalposts so far that eventually his only move will be to blame everyone else and claim that he and Donnie Jr. were innocent naive newcomers to politics.

6. Because Donald Effing Trump is incapable of not commenting on any damn thing that

pings his tiny little brain cells.

7. The dumbfuck can't even spell Alphonse. n/t

8. Trying to influence the jury. Obstruction of the law, that is what he does.
