Its time for Mueller to come out and say he found nothing on president Trump.
Ummm...so the idea behind indicting people lower on the food chain is that they will eventually roll on those above them.
Expect Manafort to avoid jailtime by rolling entirely on Trump and the GOP. Manafort owes them nothing, and since he's not an honorable person, he will quickly turn on anyone above him if he thinks it will result in him avoiding prison.
Indicting Manafort for Conspiracy Against the United States seems to imply that Mueller has got quite a boatload of evidence against him. If he didn't, he would have just been indicted for money laundering. But Conspiracy...yikes...that's bad news for anyone pro-Trump.
