Trump will never grant a "thank you pardon". He will only pardon someone if it serves his own interests.
But I guess that all doesn't matter now. Manafort has just agreed to cooperate with Mueller!!!!
I'm sure Trump made a deal with Manafort in advance - shut up and I will pardon you.
So this is in Trump's own interest.
Manfort cooperating with Mueller just means, ok I am guilty, give me a sentence.
It's not giving dirt.
Apparently, this more than just a guilty plea. It includes a sentence cap and dropping some of the charges in exchange for cooperation. Sounds to me like Manafort will be giving up some dirt. But details of the deal are still coming out. It's 76 pages long and I haven't read it.
