At his age, even the bargained sentence means life, he's really got nothing to lose at this point.
IOW, Mueller overplayed his hand. Hatred often affects people's judgment, as we've seen among the Ds and MSM.
I wonder whether Mueller's team - let alone DU-grade Progs - realize their pique in calling Manafort a liar so as to get him sentenced to 3X-5X his remaining lifetime nuked the value of Manafort as a witness and of anything Manafort told Mueller's team. IOW, when it comes to the
Trump-Russia Collusion Delusion Mueller got nothing, if that much.Given the brevity of Manafort's time with the Trump Campaign, I doubt Manafort lied about anything substantial related to the campaign, and probably said nothing worse than forgetting what deli the Campaign patronized in NYC.
