Alan Dershowitz Says Manafort Plea a ‘Big Win’ For Mueller: White House Should Be Alarmed
by Ken Meyer | Sep 14th, 2018, 3:25 pm

Alan Dershowitz said on MSNBC Friday that Paul Manafort‘s plea deal with the special counsel should alarm the White House.

MSNBC’s Steve Kornacki asked the Harvard Law professor on Friday about the news that the former Trump campaign chairman is pleading guilty to the charges against him as part of a cooperation agreement with Robert Mueller.

“Is that something the White House be alarmed about right now?” Kornacki asked.

“Well of course they should be,” Dershowitz said, though he noted that Manafort is “not a credible witness” and might not be able to prove Trump’s guilt on an impeachable offense.

IMO, what we've got here is a game called "Chicken".

Mueller is threatening Pres. Trump by using Manafort.  Pres. Trump is waiting until October to release all the goods on Comey, Brennan, Lynch, Rice, Strzok et al....

The President can pardon Manafort.  Nobody can pardon those sons-a-bitches.

If we had just let them eat the Tide pods, none of this would be happening right now

Why would Manafort wait until his second trial to drop a dime on Trump?

He was likely encouraged by the comments of Ellis during the first trial. After the verdict, he knew that he would not do well in Berman’s court.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.
