I wouldn't put ANYTHING past him by now. Including something like this.

He doesn't give anything away for free. There's always some sort of "value" exchanged. Some string attached. Someone's mouth remaining closed. I think that's why Paul Manafort stayed mum. I wouldn't be surprised if they'd worked that one out, early-on. He knew he'd get a pardon.
