"Thus, there seems to be another strategy behind Manafort’s vows to fight on. And this is a legal posture aimed at an audience of one: Donald Trump.
Robert Mueller, presumably, still doesn’t know what a truthful Manafort would have to say—but Trump does. If Manafort is, in fact, playing for a pardon—a route that even disgraced former N.S.A. chief Michael Flynn, whom Trump steadily defended, didn’t take—it would speak volumes about how damaging Manafort’s testimony could be to Trump or to those close to him, such as his son, Donald Trump Jr., and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. If Manafort’s truthful testimony was simply going to absolve all of them of conspiring with the Russians, he could have made a deal long ago. Such testimony would have been as likely to earn an eventual pardon, once the smoke cleared. Manafort’s problem, then, seems to be that Mueller may already have evidence of collusion that threatens to endanger him, his former colleagues on the campaign, and possibly Trump himself."

I added the bold to help you "special" readers understand: Manafort is clearly hiding something; nothing else makes sense here. You're welcome!

Now remember this. Obstruction doesn't require that the charged party is guilty of a given crime; it requires that they knowingly obstructed the prosecution of said crime. To illustrate, let's create a hypothetical that actually favors Trump. That hypothetical is that when he became aware that Manafort was in collusion with Russia, while acting as his campaign chief, he fired him.

The problem is that if Mr. Trump had so much as an inkling about this, then he has beyond question acted to obstruct. Not even debateable. You'd have to be one of those idiots on something like the Campfire forum to even try. Oh, wait.

The ONLY way he is innocent of obstruction is if he's clean as a whistle.

Donald Trump is not clean as a whistle.
