Twitler still considering pardon for Manafort

https://nypost.com/2018/11/28/trump-says-pardon-for-paul-manafort-still-a-possibility/amp/

He’s never discussed a pardon for Paul Manafort, President Trump said Wednesday — but it’s “not off the table.”

“It was never discussed, but I wouldn’t take it off the table. Why would I take it off the table?” the president said during an Oval Office interview on Wednesday.

He ripped Mueller’s probe and charged that Manafort, his former political adviser Roger Stone and Stone’s associate Jerome Corsi were all asked to lie by the special counsel.

“If you told the truth, you go to jail,” Trump said.

They were asked to tell the truth to Mueller that Trump was not only involved with the Conspiracy with Russia, he was the driving force behind it.

At that point he'd be more of a liability than an asset, and we've seen what happens to those people. They commit suicide by blunt force trauma inside a locked hotel room, they have heart attacks while falling off of balconies, they ingest exotic toxins with their elderberry wine, etc.
