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.
Also remember, if trump pardons Manafort, Manafort will be required to testify against trump. Manafort refusing to testify would become Contempt of Court with possible jail time.
