I suspect he might have to be brave man now because he realizes Putin might have him or members of his immediate family killed.

If Manafort has flipped, this scandal could implode on Trump quickly ...

I hope ....

Can you imagine Trump tonight ... Woodwards book sales breaking records, Manafort flips and Trump still hasn't found the anonymous author of the OpEd ... He'll be a raving maniac tonight.
