<snip>
US investigators examining money laundering accusations against Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort hope to push him to cooperate with their investigation into possible collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russia, two sources with direct knowledge of the investigation said.

Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team is examining Manafort’s financial and real estate records in New York as well as his involvement in Ukrainian politics, the officials said.

Between 2006 and 2013, Manafort bought three New York properties, including one in Trump Tower in Manhattan. He paid for them in full and later took out mortgages against them. A former senior US law enforcement official said that tactic is often used as a means to hide the origin of funds gained illegally. Reuters has no independent evidence that Manafort did this.

1. Would he flip to save himself?

Would ANYONE?

2. Among a gang of Cons and Thieves

it's every man for himself

[emulatorloo]

3. I doubt he has loyalty to Trump. He's just a gunslinger for hire. Would flip on Trump in a minute

is my guess.

4. Isn't a Manhattan minute

13. Yes .... Yes.... Like that....

8. I thought they had already flipped him

His lawyer is with the same firm Mueller was with, but hasn't suggested a change, like tRump Jr's did; he didn't retroactively file as a foreign agent for a long time after he said he would; the amount of dirt on him is more of a mountain than a molehill....if he hasn't flipped, it's only because he hasn't been offered a good enough deal yet.

10. He'd flip - unless he is too stupid to know Trump would do the same to him.

11. He'd be more scared of Putin's henchmen offing him than Trump... n/t
