Manafort FLIPPED!!
Paul Manafort pleads guilty and agrees to cooperate with Mueller investigation!!
Per CNN:
Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort has agreed to cooperate with the Justice Department, including in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.Manafort pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy against the US and one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice due to attempts to tamper with witnesses, according to a court filing Friday.
Prosecutor Andrew Weissmann told the judge Manafort's plea agreement is a "cooperation agreement," and other charges will be dropped at sentencing at "or at the agreement of successful cooperation."

And its to Manafort's benefit to tell the truth, as Mueller already has all the information he needs as verified by other witnesses....he will just be collaborating what has been said by others.....AND if he doesn't tell the truth..Mueller will know and the deal is off!

"The real significance of what's happened is we're much closer to getting the truth than we were before this plea," Starr (prosecutor against Bill Clinton) said "It is so terrific for the investigation and, frankly, the American people that we're moving forward, we're getting someone who may be knowledgeable."
Starr acknowledged that Trump has the right to pardon Manafort, which the President has reportedly discussed with his legal team, but said such a move would be "VERY unwise."
