Manafort will be pardoned if others are pardoned too.

That’s the whole point of Trump’s pardon-gig. He’s sending messages to the likes of Manafort that they can go ahead and do what is needed because in the end they will get a get-out-of-jail card.

The logical response to a Manafort pardon is for the prosecutors to try his case in the media, especially if the pardon comes before any trial. That may start to scare Congressional Republicans into thinking of their reelection chances as affected by Trump’s crimes.
