But really, who would have a candid conversation with Manafort at this point. The man is radioactive!

4. Really! A little late? I think by now all criminals would be aware of Manafort's guilty plea ...

as well as helping the government undercover. If someone is unaware of Manafort's sentencing requirements and so forth, then I guess the criminals are indeed dumb and deserve to be caught. I kind of think this w/ the whole rump gang.

What documents are out there in Manafort's control that Mueller doesn't already have?


Also...... Has anyone heard about any type of modification for release?. If he's staying in he will be essentially locked down in protective custody.

almost any person's agreement under similar circumstances, rather than a specific indication of what Mueller's team is actively pursuing.
