Showing Original Post only (View all)Andrew Weissman: Manafort pardon can't restore 31 million in restitution [View all]

@AWeissmann_·17h
In the Manafort plea agreement, para 12, he relinquished all interest in the forfeited property criminally and civilly, precisely because we saw possibility of a pardon, which can have no effect on civil forfeiture. POTUS cannot change that through pardon power.

OP
Ah, but does anyone know if he actually paid up or forfeited the entire sum of $31 million?

Is that good? Or impressive? Not getting the attraction, unless you're an ostrich.

I consider myself informed now. Still not sure why anyone would want one, but I know. Thanks
