Prosecutors would have to get something good to accept a guilty plea, right?

SCOOP: Manafort and Mueller prosecutors are negotiating over which charges Manafort might admit to, and the length of the sentence to be recommended by prosecutors, @davidvoreacos and @NeilAWeinberg report.

...Mueller will most likely go for a deal that is of the greatest value to the overall case, not to Manafort. This will be interesting.

and get him out of prison. My guess is that's part of his calculation..
