"Let's make a deal" with Federal Prosecutors before too long. He knows MUCH about the Trump campaign and the players in the Russian scandal, and he's being investigated on more than one front now. He could get a sweet deal for the "right" information. Then again, it depends on what the investigators already know. They might have him by the short hairs and WON'T NEED to make a deal with him.
I don't think I'd like to be Paul Manafort right now.
