If he talks to Mueller he and his family are a risk from putin , the russian mob, and trump, and if he stays quite he will be targeted for elimination to make sure he doesn't talk from putin , the russian mob , and trump. Unless he's offered witness protection for he and his family for talking to Mueller he's screwed, because trump will not be able to pardon him and get away with it. It'll backfire badly on him if he tries to do it. Manafort will soon be screwed if he does nothing, especially if he hopes trump will save him.

Manafort from really blowing up the Trump Crime Syndicate.

Interesting how in early 2017 this theme of the Russian Mob was being posted in several Newspaper articles. Someone had the goods from day one and all those stories were tamped down only to appear 2 years later.

Since most of Congress is on Vaca this coming week,going to be watching the back pages for clues to witch Senator or Congress Person will eat the cheese and make sounds of not running for reelection. The following week is Cohen Comedy Club Week.

As for Manafort,he best keep on the good side of the Prison Warden and trust his food tasters.
